Has the Marine Corps taken things too far with the attempt to erase the gender lines in the Corps?

Absolutely

Yes..and we need to take our country back an execute these traitors running our goverment..SemperFi.......thats ALWAYS!!

yes stop turning my fucking Marines into pussies, fuck god created us for a reason to kill and blow shit up and you fucktards cant grip your measle mind around it. If you you tried to jack me off your wrist limped bastards would never get the job done! fuck you PC bullshit

The Corps is following directives to erase all gender lines from the Community Organizer-In-Chief as part of his re-engineering of the military. Traditions, moral, and combat readiness take a backseat to his political progressive agenda.

Personally I think that if you want equality in the military then the standard should be the same. Same PFT requirements, same uniform standards, etc.

Hell yes, women aren't built like a man is for working, abuse and punishment, and they are not meant to be, why would they want to ?

The Marine Corps is becoming "Politically Correct" in accordance with orders from higher authority. Why can't they (Obama and his cohorts) just leave us alone and do our job the way we have been for nearly 241 years. I haven't heard anyone complain about how the Marine Corps has protected them and their freedoms lately. Semper Fi. Proud Tennessee Volunteer. GySgt USMC (Retd) '65-'85.

Yes yes yes a hundred times. The Marine Corps even since I've been in (5 years) is losing its reputation as the hard asses. Political correctness, and POG's who think they know best are just plain ruining an entire force. In my short time I've been a Marine, I've seen a very rapid decline in motivation amongst my peers both younger and older. It started with the strict tattoo policy and has snowballed ever since. Before anyone says anything, I do not have any tattoos so that's not what I'm originally salty about. The point is America itself has become weak to the point it's embarrassing. We need real leaders who have the experience of the toughest times, and who know just how much their decisions and visions effect people and productivity. In a nutshell...we are trained killers, if you don't train or ever have trained daily to become a more lethal killer then shut your mouth because no one cares what your point of view is due to you not knowing a clue what you're talking about. Let killers feel like killers, not feel like worthless puppets.

As this was my question I want to Thank You all that responsed. I have a lot of good answers and a lot of different opinions. My son-in-law is a Marine, once a Marine, always a Marine. Thank you Marine Corp.

I can see this game coming for some time. This politically correct is getting out of hand.
