Woody sent me this one.

Last night I was driving home from dinner and listening to a sports call-in program carried by WGN in Chicago on SIRIUS/XL. People were calling in, very upset, about the goat’s head that was sent to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts at Wrigley Field.

Then some guy called in from Tennessee and said, “Why are you people so upset ’cause someone sent a goat’s head to Wrigley Field? Aren’t you Chicagoans the same guys that sent a horse’s ass to the White House?”

Poor babies. They need special boots. (Thanks to George for the story)

Congress is prodding the armed forces to come up with a special line of women’s combat boots, in different styles, as studies show that military women are more susceptible to stress fractures from marching and training.

Or maybe they just can’t handle the same marching and training that men can.

Female troops in Afghanistan have complained to a member of the House Armed Services Committee that they have limited options for acquiring combat boots designed for them.

The congressional move comes as selected women have undergone direct land combat training to determine if they can meet tough physical standards to become an infantryman or a commando. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter predicts that he will open most, if not all, such units to women by Jan. 1.

On the eve of such momentous social and battlefield change, Army women lack boots specially designed for generally smaller and narrower feet, say 10 congressional sources. The Army buys different boot styles for hot and cold weather, mountain and desert warfare and the rain.

Prompted by the Obama administration’s 2013 decision to strike down a ban on women in direct land combat units, a new report by the Armed Services Committee on fiscal 2016 spending says it’s time to feminize the combat boot to increase performance in marches, long hikes and combat.

I hope they come in cute colors as well. Are they gonna also lower standards by not making them carry as much equipment as men? I have nothing against women in combat as long as they can do the same job that men can. Special boots? GMAFB! The problem is they cannot do the same job as men and cannot hack the training required for rangers and other special ops people. I have the same problem with women cops and firefighters. It’s nice that little Ashley want’s to be a fireman but if she can’t haul my crippled ass out of a burning building she has no business in that job. Same with the military. If GI Jane can’t keep up with the weakest GI Joe she has no business being in that unit.

Needing “special boots” is just a symptom of the real problem. The majority of women do not belong in combat. It ain’t sexist if it’s the truth.
