Apr 2016

This amendment was introduced by Duncan Hunter (A-hole-CA), a former Marine who opposes having women in the military and who opposes the recent move by DOD to begin removing gender restrictions in combat service.

He introduced the amendment to try to spark a damaging debate about women in combat, but when Democrats on the committee spotted it they saw a chance to screw Hunter over by supporting the measure. The amendment passed 32-30, with Hunter voting against and failing to stop his own amendment.

I hope they name the first all-female barracks building at Parris Island after him.
