*Note: The Pentagon lifted the ban on women Marines in combat roles in 2016.
“See if there are any nasty males around…any males.” What are you? A feminist man hater? The military is no place for such antipathy and negative bias toward your fellow male Marines…or other services.
How about looking out for your brothers in arms? These are the guys who’ll be bailing your arrogant, feminist assess out if you get into trouble on the battlefield (which you inevitably will).
I remember when I served in tactical Army counterintelligence, at Ft. Bragg, under Ronald Reagan. We did a field training exercise with Marine counterintelligence, at Camp Lejeune, with the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. It was awesome! Learned some great things for sure.
They told me there were no women in Marine CI (counterintelligence). I could see why. They operated like the old OSS with high physical, mental and emotional standards and a tough combat mindset. Their training was hard-core.
For unit cohesion and mission readiness, tactical CI was not a woman’s Military Occupational Specialty (due to obvious female biological limitations). Call it sexist if you want, but don’t call it untrue…
