osama bin laden is dead

[vaped]

Mega conspiracy theories already eh ....

How about this one --- just think, if 13 - 14 yrs ago if Clinton had the balls to say "yes" to Osama's death operation like Obama did we probably wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit today. Oh wait ... that's not a conspiracy.

Anyway.....

Too bad we'll never get to know who put the bullet though that mother fucker's skull. I hope that it was either an American soldier with Islamic beliefs or better yet -- a badass female commando. You never know who could have advanced their way up into ST6 -- could very well be either of these.

Also I love how they just dumped him in the ocean. All those fucking maniacs can go visit him there and hopefully join the sack of pig shit.

This is a GREAT day for our military and all the blood, sweat, and pain they have put in over the last years trying to hunt down this scum. Now it's time to get those who need to be back home back here with their families and give our military a chance to rejuvenate.

[kthx]

Umm women aren't allowed to be front line soldiers, which im assuming special force seal units are considered.

When's the REAL good news coming in? The one that actually affects my day to day life. Not some vague information that only temporarily affects my overall mood. I'm still overpaying for every day necessities. I'm still seeing rising prices. As far as I can tell, he could be dead or alive. So what?

This is exactly what I felt when I heard. Who the fuck cares? Tell me something that actually affects my life ya know man???

Government is saying photos are too bloody to be shown. Bullshit. Put it up on the internet and have people prove they are 18+ and let us watch that shit and revel in it.

His death changes nothing really..

Also, somewhat related -- I'm not familiar with Wikileaks but don't you think that if all these conspiracies existed.. aliens, world government thing, 9/11 staged, there would be some evidence released on Wikileaks?

Our female warriors have seen plenty of fire fight, "front line" action in Iraq and Afghanistan, dude.

Technically they aren't supposed to be "front line", however this "war" we have been fighting hasn't really had a true "front line". They have been forced to defend themselves and their fellow soldiers many times over the last years and have performed quite well.

Gates himself said about a year or so ago that he expected one day that these bans on females in combat should and would be lifted at some point. Who's to say that one bad ass broad from NY didn't decide to kick some terrorist ass and demand to be allowed into special forces training?

There are plenty of women in the military that are better soldiers than I would ever hope to be; this idea that they shouldn't be allowed to fight is insane.

[kthx]

No its chivalrous, I don't give a shit how PC you are or what women say they want there are some lines that don't get crossed. Most people in the world don't want to be shooting women or children across the battlefield, you should still never hit a women even though "we are equal" or whatever shit you believe, and if a ship is sinking its still women and fucking children first. Im sure some women are great at firing guns, my wife was in the Army actually, but it doesn't mean there needs to be women marines.

For the men and women in our MILITARY it does sir.

I'd continue to tell you whats wrong with not being even a little excited about this event but I don't care to fall all the way into a troll trap this morning. Standing on the edge is close enough.

[vaped]

I'm not being chivalrous or PC, kthx. You're much more politically correct than I am even and that's not saying anything because you're hardly what one would call "PC". As for chivalry, why the fuck would I care about that in a video game forum where as far as I can tell there is only one woman who posts in here?

I'm just flat saying that SOME women can kick ass and take names and they should be allowed to do so. This is AMERICA for fuck sakes.

This thread is unraveling quickly, I'm off to the Hospital -- you can all have fun with this shit 'discussion' and continue to smack your cocks against a brick wall to no avail. I'm done with it.

You don't really get it. Women aren't allowed to serve in front line combat right now for simple reasons, that doesn't even include whether they are capable or not.

For one, if a woman dies on a battlefield, that fucks up morale BIG time. Moral is a HUGE thing in the military, and no soldier wants to see a female die in battle. Also, the amount of pregnancies that happen with women in the military is a pretty big number, and don't think even for a second that when you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere, that male/female soldiers won't be fucking each other. Imagine if a woman was pregnant and got killed in combat. How much of a political firestorm, not to mention the morale factor would that be? It's just too sensitive a subject right now to happen. It's not a question of equality or right and wrong, but of battlefield effectiveness.

Also, women serve in the navy in the surface fleet, and as you can guess, pregnancies there happen all the time too. Also, women don't usually serve their full time in a lot of cases, because they can just get pregnant, and boom, they are out of the military if they so choose. It's sort of unfair in a way, not to mention only the MALE will get in trouble for fraternization and things like that in such cases, which is also a double-standard as well.

I was on a submarine, and there aren't any women allowed there. I mean, unless you watch Down Periscope or something. Women on a sub would get sexually harassed so badly it isn't even funny, and a woman couldn't handle that sort of environment. Trust me. It isn't women friendly, unlike those huge carriers with 5000+ people on them. I think Canada allows women to serve in submarine service though, but... they only have a couple subs in the first place, and I don't know what type of environment they have there.

I'm not saying women shouldn't be allowed, but I know why they aren't anyway.

The only evidence they need is that Osama will no longer be making any more recordings, and al Queda isn't going to go 'wait a sec he's still alive'!

Nothing else they do will really work because people like Tone will never believe.

pretty sure people like tone don't even believe he ever existed, so the challenge is even greater.

if amerikuh had left it much longer, natural causes would have helped out in the war against terror.

[Jerome Scuggs]

In February 2010, the Secretary of Defense approved the proposed policy and signed letters formally notifying Congress of the intended change. After receiving no objection, the Department of the Navy officially announced on April 29, 2010, that it had authorized women to serve onboard submarines.[33]

Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
or the LORD will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.
