Allen West Hammers Obama for Letting Women Become Army Rangers and Navy SEALs

Former Congressman Allen West, a favorite of the tea party movement who has opened the door to a political comeback, took aim at President Barack Obama for supporting allowing women to enter the Army Ranger and Navy SEAL programs.

Just read another instance of Obama's fundamental transformation of America: women will enter U.S. Army Ranger and U.S. Navy SEAL training in 2015 and 2016 respectively, West posted on Facebook on Tuesday morning.

Being in close quarters special operations combat units is not a social gathering, West, who rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Army, continued. It is obvious Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is nothing more than a social egalitarian lackey and Obama's yes-boy. I find it completely hypocritical for everyone to be up in arms about military sexual assault, but then want to cast women into high stress, small unit combat elements. The objective is obvious: destroy the last bastions of American warrior culture all for the advancement of a misguided vision of fairness and equality.

There is no equality on the battlefield, insisted West. The goal is simple: you physically overpower the enemy and kill them. Dont tell me about technology, war is about fighting and fighting is about killing, mano y mano. Imagine how the Islamic jihadists are going to use this as propaganda. Is there one senior uniformed leader in our military who will stand up and say, no?
