There's No Sex in the Champagne Room - Chris RockHalf of the military's ad campaign is set up to convince the young recruit that he's going to be a bad ass ninja kicking down doors and taking out Osama Bin Laden, except when George W. Bush is stopping US from killing Bin Laden. The other half implicitly states Mila Kunis will attend the Marine Corps Ball with you.
The Totalitarian Right which has been fighting the War on Sex for decades has decided to drop all pretenses they cared about protecting Americans, jobs, the economy or rising debt and refocus on the only thing they do care about, making sure they control when, where and with whom you have sex and punishing dirty, dirty women who have sex outside Right-Wing Authoritarian control.
Of course, Totalitarian Republicans, know as much about real war as they do about fornicating and leading the charge on the Right-Wing War on Sex is Sick Rantorum.
His most recent interview shows the only peek into military life he's done is watching Ronnie Raygun movies:
“I meant exactly what I said,” the former Pennsylvania Dictator said. “When you have men and women together in combat, I think there’s — men have the emotions when you see a woman in harm’s way. I think it’s something that’s natural, that’s very much in our culture to be protective.”Now compare Sick Rantorum's "concerns" with a scene from G.I. Jane,
“Some people might listen to that quote and think you meant you were concerned about women being emotional,” NBC's Ann Curry noted.
“Oh, no,” Sick Rantorum replied. “No, the issue is — and certainly one that has been talked about for a long, long time — is how men would react to seeing women in harm’s way, potentially being injured or in a vulnerable position, and not being concerned about accomplishing the mission.”
"You know, the Israelis ... they tried women in the 1967 War. Female soldiers. It seems the men couldn't get used to the sight of women blown open and their viscera hanging from tree limbs. Israeli men would linger over wounded females -- often to the detriment of the mission, often endangering their own lives."Of course, when President Santorum takes over as C-in-C every future military recruit should be aware of his positions, "I would say, any type of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military."
So yea, no more dates with Mila Kunis or Justin Timberlake for you Jarhead. Ooh-Rah...
Take a look at an old film from the 40's entitled, O.S.S. That is precisely the theme regards women under stress. But for God's sake, THAT WAS 1942! And at least it finally acknowledged that women act no differently than men in stressful situations.
ReplyDeleteHey, we can't be giving wimmens military training! They might effectively kick some rapist ass then and learn to say "NO" to the likes of Santorum! How can you sexually abuse and subjugate women who know how to knock you on your ass and shoot you as you run away?
ReplyDeleteBut hey, I'm just a mean, bitter old veteran bitch....what do I know?
It is too bad Rick's sainted mother never would approach a penis other than for the blessed task of making babies because if Rick Santorum's mother had learned the fine art of the handjob he would have ended up a stain on the mattress instead of a stain on America.
ReplyDeleteListen up!
ReplyDeleteI remember when women where first allowed to be USAF air traffic controllers - Let me be clear - I have worked with perhaps that was the best ATC in the Air Force and she was female and her breath smelled of stale tuna.
Stephanie worked for me - razor sharp.
Let's address combat and Sanitarioum: You are being mortared and taking AK-47 fire and
you are thinking about getting a quickly or a BJ from that lady GI
shooting at the bad guys?
Lastly,
What level of professionalism does Santorum think we in the military possess. With all of the sexual harrassment things going on - You have to be cautious about asking someone out for a friggin date!
And, let me be clear - banging a lesser ranking subordinate working for you is a career ender.
I was taught back in 1968 that Air Force people were one color - blue.
Then came the girls - We fit them in. Now, the gays - We are finally getting that thing right.
Folks, the military is expediant when responding to change - Alas,
Congress is not
Sarge
Sarge,
ReplyDeleteSanatorum has no idea how the military works. Remember this dolt stated the Bush-Fantasy WMD had been found.
As for the professionalism of the military Sick Rantorum as a chicken hawk Republican puke only comments on "professionalism" when he thinks he can score a cheap political win. Say when decent Americans decry the pissing on dead bodies, that's when the likes of Santorum rush to declare anyone who doesn't stand with the urinating Marines hates America.
Otherwise, in Rick's view the military is chalk full of sexless Ken Dolls who would suffer a mental break if they learned the Marine next to them is gay.
