“JUDE EDEN should be on every radio show in America. She’s purely FANTASTIC radio, but more than that, her message is so important and not enough people are hearing it. And I would have to say that she is probably the single best spokeswoman on this issue, PERIOD. She was SO GOOD, that I am going to make it a special podcast for people to share. Jude Eden makes me proud to be a woman, and DAMN proud to be an American.”

What Happened to “Combat standards won’t be lowered”?

The Results So Far of Social Engineering in the U.S. Military

Marines Trolling Girls’ Sports Teams for Combat Jobs Should Take a Lesson from the Olympics for Stream.org
August 17, 2016. Are the Olympics just another relic of patriarchy, or do we know something arch-leftists don’t? If women competed against men in the toughest sporting competition on the globe they would never medal and likely would be phased out completely.

Advocates for Women in Combat Value Diversity over Victory for Crisis Magazine

No, Women Should Not Be Included in the Draft for the Daily Signal
February 16, 2016. Drafting women is a bad idea because putting women into combat units is a bad idea on a myriad of fronts from degraded combat readiness to skyrocketing injuries, risk, expense, and danger to the long-term medical bill and increased casualties.

Combat: Testosterone Required

Women Fail to Achieve Male Marines’ Lowest Standard
January 14, 2014. Earlier this month the Marine Corps decided to delay the low 3 pull-up requirement for women that they had hoped to apply in 2014.

February 12, 2013. On Thursday January 31, 2012 I had the pleasure of participating in a roundtable discussion on the subject of women in combat roles on the Glenn Beck show (members can view the show in full in the website’s archives). I didn’t know Green Beret Greg Stube or Navy Seal Pete Scobell before that day, but we got to know each other well over the course of the show and afterward. I was blown away by their level of sacrifice, what they had endured and overcome, and how they are still serving our country in their current endeavors. “Heroes” doesn’t begin to cover it…
Women In Combat vs. The Military’s Sexual Assault Problem
February 4, 2013. The Invisible War is a 2012 documentary showing the shocking prevalence of sexual assault in the military, and worse, the cover-ups that tend to follow. The rate of assaults against women is completely unacceptable as it is. We should not put women in infantry and special forces where the risk will be even greater to them because there is less supervision, more pressure, and everyone does everything together and in front of each other. It will be totally destructive of women and combat readiness both…
