The reason we have two parties and not likely to have more, is because we are naturally split into two camp by our salient character traits. One groups decision making is driven, using primarily logic to process the data received. The other groups decision making is primarily concerned with how the decision will affect people first then the logical consequences.

Almost no amount of argument will alter this process unless you use the other side process to find common ground first.

Not much point in actually getting worked over it. It is what it is. It is often best to segregate functions based on which approach best achieves the needed result. Elections are very poor in achieving this end as they do not achieve a complementary solution.

Ha! I rather enjoy reading some of your post Jade.
If you can, let us in on how you came to this knowledge you have.

LOTS of reading. Read read read. Massad Ayoob, Alan Korwin, and John Lott are three of my favorite experts that I study. Not to mention the old wisdom of the late Col. Jeff Cooper. With an honorable mention to David Codrea and the always entertaining but incredibly smart John Connor (a writer with FMG publications).

There's no hidden method beyond that. Years and years of reading, talking to gun owners, and talking to experts is really my only secret.

Well, I can't quite understand how they ever decided to use women as say, combat Marines. But on the other hand I see no reason for women not to fill roles where the equipment involved makes it irrelevant whether used by man or woman.

Hopefully Mattis gets rid of the stupid fucking females in combat jobs experiment. And the tattoos restrictions. And the paying for transgender surgeries.

Who? Give up on this hijacked thread like I did long ago.

Because of liberal agendas. I can't think of what they were trying accomplish, other than weakening our military as a whole. Unless they were just trying to make anyone that opposed it just look like a bigot/sexist.

I made a 15 minute speech on this in my public speaking class, and left out a good hour of material.

The whole idea, and execution of the idea was retarded at every turn.

But to be succinct as possible, it started as "Well if females can pass the minimum physical requirements, and then pass the different schools, then they should be able to hold those billets"
Every service member laughed because we knew that females couldn't do that. But after the handpicked, cream of he crop females kept failing the minimum requirements for those jobs. It turned into "Well maybe the requirements don't need to be that high" And now we have co-ed boyscouts for a military.

Even jobs like artillery should not be open to women for many reasons. But the main one is this; adding females to platoons of men, is not going to add to the effectiveness of that platoon. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

And another thing. What's with all these horseless carriages? They smell bad and are always tootling their horns at me.

I hear you. I believe in assigning the right assets to the matching requirement.. It ain't got shit to do with equal opportunity. Example, Fighter pilot. I participated in picking up a few of these guys,
most were not very big. Good thing too, as I had to put a couple of them into their raft before we took them aboard. Equipment malfunctions disabled them with arms out of the shoulder socket.
I don't think either of the two weighed over 135 or 140. Easier yet with a 120 lb lady.

If those goddamn liberals would have fought for my right to be a nearsighted 350 lb fighter pilot I'd have been a liberal myself.

Sure, I'd have crashed into a neighborhood and been unable to reach the eject mechanism but whatever.

Hell man, they can't shut the canopy on me without pinching something. They ain't even going to let you in the area.

Ha! I can hear it now if we had found a monster pilot in the water. Fuck it! Nothing here but flotsam.

See, another reason the libs should make it more fair. Fat pilots float so they will survive longer.

Forget about it. It ain't going to help their cause.
And I hate to tell you but the engineer in me says, whoa! That heap would sure fuck up performance curves!

A good interview from General Mattis:



He is an extremely smart, very intelligent man. I mean...wow.

Warming to him, I must say. I mean, in the diarrhea of the Trump administration, he's like a fairly unsullied chunk of undigested food:

Placing Russia first among threats, Defense nominee warns of Kremlin attempts to ‘break’ NATO

Wow, sounds more like someone who would work for that trigger-happy War Hawk Hillary Clinton than for Friendly Donski.https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl..._hp-top-table-main_mattis-710a:homepage/story
 
Serious conflicts among Trumpskis and indeed in Trump's own commitments. Trump claims to be big buddies with Israel, and certainly Netanyahu will be happy to have support for the settlements, but at the same time, Russia is working with Iran, and Trump is leaky with Russia and Israel HATES Iran. Similarly Mattis hates Iran, and Trump himself has said he'll tear up the Iran deal, but Russia helped negotiate that deal.
