Fischer: Women Are Emotionally Unfit For Combat

Bryan Fischer comes to Rick Santorum's defense and explains that women are, in fact, emotionally unfit to serve in combat.

[MrSomeTeacher]

Mr. Fischer sounds like he is emotionally unfit for the twentieth century, much less the twenty-first. Women have served in the United States military for a long time. They, like men, are promoted on the basis of merit. I served in the United States Navy and I would and have trusted my life to the women who serve. Mr. Fischer's sexism, racism, and bigotry is what is unfit.

I'd like to see him tell all this to Maj. Tammy Duckworth, who lost both legs in Iraq piloting a helicopter that was hit by an RPG. She now advocates for her fellow wounded vets and doesn't waste her time insulting people on the air!

I would like someone like Lyudmila Pavlichenko manning a sniper rifle defending me, because she put down 309 more fascists than fischer ever did.

I served with several lesbians in the Marine Corps and let me tell you they were just as good or better than the men in my unit!

@helios5856 I agree completely with you, my friend - a great compromise. I wonder how easily spooked these radio blatherers would be in those combat roles? My guess: Very.

In Australia in the 1950's woman were said to not have the mental capacity to drive trams Flether would have you believe this was some kind of golden age

[ZenoFerox]

I know several women who could knock Fischer's block off without breaking down into a weepy mess. I guess they must have emotional stability (although they might smile a lot afterwards).

Ha! My aunt's a black belt in karate. I dare you to tell her she's weak by nature to her face. (P.S you might want to wear protective equipment.)

Bryan Fischer is unfit to carry safety scissors.

If Republicans had their way women would not be allowed to work outside the house & instead would be restricted to being house wives & birthing as many children possible until their uterus was worn out!!

I'd rather have someone qualified, and mentally stable.

Women in the Canadian Forces have been serving on the frontlines for almost two decades, but we seem to be doing just fine. Just go away Fischer.

@EntinludeX My wife. A Sgt. in the US Army. He's a tool and just about any woman in the military would be better at defending this country then this "man." He doesn't realize the idiocy of what he's saying. He couldn't do it, but right now there are women who ARE doing it and so his hate for women seems to really just be projection. Too many people don't realize the actual combat role women are already playing on the front lines. The DoD is just talking about making it official.

[DrummerMark]

"Lyudmila Mykhailivna Pavlichenko(a women) was a Soviet Sniper in WW2 credited with 309 kills."

Yeah women just can't do it.

[meleagrisfelis]

Right. We want those poor individuals who are ensaved by testosterone to be in charge. Silly argument: tricks are for cartoon rabbits.

[spastikman]

this man has never had consensual sex in his life.

[KCKatheist]

Pffft! Bryan Fischer would sink to his knees and cry like a little boy were he to face anything our female soldiers and Marines deal with on a daily basis!

[themiddleman]

This is weird .., a christian group at my college was asking students if "God was sexist?"...

[christo]

I completely agree with him, but for totally different reasons. Women do not belong in combat roles and should never be on the front line. Logistics, intelligence, maintenance, medical care etc, can all be done and done well by women, but women do not belong in combat.

[proatheism]

Meanwhile a women dies for his right to say what he did.
