Drawing the pit-bull’s teeth

‘The Washington Post (July 23, 2010) is reporting a “milestone:” 17 years after women “were allowed to go to sea,” the Navy’s Sailor of the Year award went to … four women. That two were black, and one Hispanic, was, of course, totally serendipitous. Included in the same article is another bit of information that should raise serious questions about our ability to defend this nation: for the first time in our the Navy’s history, 19 women will be included in class at the Navy’s school for submariners in Groton, Connecticut. As one of the four women, Ingrid Cortez, is quoted as saying: “We no longer have obstacles for women.”
Well, there might be one: Nature.
Several months ago, The Navy Times reported that at the major naval base in Norfolk, Virginia, the Fleet was having problems in achieving sufficient number of billets (positions) to allow the ships to drop anchor and leave port. The reason? It appeared that numbers of women, when told that they would be deployed for months at a time, became pregnant, although large portions of these women were unmarried. This was in addition to the Navy’s “love boats,” in which pregnancies and lesbian activities are rampant; still, such revelations did not extinguish the flame of “diversity” within the military hierarchy who are supposed to defend the nation.
To quote the late Gen. Omar Bradley: In war there is no second prize for the runner-up.‘
