Who agrees with me?

Question

OK, the president is in charge of the military. I'm not sexist or any thing, but I think that the president is the only one one job where we need a man. The woman was always famine. So in times of war, will the female president make the decision to agree?

i.e. Hilary Clinton- completely against war, and is going into a war position.

YOU want to a woman (Hilary) into a position where 75% of the time they are in war, or preparing, or across seas in diplomat.
Do you want to put this woman in command of the biggest and greatest Navy, Army, Airforce, etc. in the whole world.

I don't.

Remember that putting Hilary in charge, she will have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MILITARY.

ALSO REMEMBER SHE HATES GUNS AND WARS. So, WTF.

SORRY I MENT feminine.

I;m just asking who agrees.

I think she can go in any other position but president

To Dalton: but understand that she doesn't like war and guns so WHY IN THE H*** would she run for a hard and difficult half war situation. Man shes an idiot!

Answer 1

I forget her name but there was a woman senator (from MT?) who voted against declaring war in WW! and WW2 because her conscious wouldn't allow her to approve sending boys off to die in war, (that ironically was waged against the USA because we were percieved as weak and unwilling to fight, sound familiar?). I agree, a woman should not be the decision maker when it comes to tactical decisions because they tend to be emotional/empathetic when it needs cold hard logic and reason to do the right but rarely popular (what war was desired by those who had to risk their necks?) thing. Wars are only popular in nostalgia, when graves are grassed over, wounds are healed, and politicians claim honors due others.

Answer 2

There are many female government leaders around the world. Personally, I will never vote for Hil. The double and triple speak she uses now will only hurt us more in the White House.

Because of the system of checks and balances, the President does not have carte blanche to declare war. The President is not physically going to fight the war. The President is the country's top manager. We are not the only country who has diplomats overseas.

I'm not a sexist or anything, but if women belong in the kitchen, why are the majority of the world's chefs men?

Answer 3

Whoever sit down there in the White House, may she be or a he, decisions would not be her or his own alone. Decisions arises from different factors and point of views, she or he sits down with other gov't officials and discuss problems. Though, the final say would the president, taking most into account is the capability of the nation to go to war. And if Hilary would become one, though she's against war, wouldn't you agree with her if she decided to go to war when the country is then being attacked as a sitting duck? The military are the key players, though. The president don't necessarily need to go to the frontlines to lead, so there's no difference.

Answer 4

Okay you know what if it is the right women I believe it would be okay. We can't have a wimp in office or else we would be a spot of dust on the map. BEEN LADEN pun intended would have already did all the damage that he could do if we hadn't had Bush in office HE'S NOT A WIMP THOUGH. I think alot of people want a let em' blow up our people our families and friends who cares but please don't go to war type of president. Grow some go nads people war happens when you blow up our people and families! That is how we keep our country free. God Bless America Land of the FREE Home of the Brave!

Answer 5

Maybe Hillary would -know- she's not a military expert and listen to her generals when they warn her that she's about to get us into a war that we can't win and can't leave.

Hillary is a lot more pragmatic. Maybe she wouldn't listen to a bunch of naive idealogues in a think tank because she wanted to be a 'war president'.

Maybe she would consider that since we spend more on weapons and military than the rest of the world combined, and SIXTEEN TIMES as much as all the nations that could possibly do us harm combined, that this is enough to spend on military and we could stop increasing our military budget by 50% every year just as an excuse to send pork home with powerful senators and congressmen.

Maybe Hillary would want more accountability in military contracting.

Seriously, if you look at all the presidents since Nixon, the Republicans do a much better job of keeping Democratic presidents in check than vice versa. It's the Republican presidents who have overreached, who have acted like kings.

As much as I dislike Hillary, I seriously doubt she could do a worse job than the guy we got in the White House now!

Answer 6

Women have been in charge of countries and militaries around the world since early in the history of mankind. Granted, there are more men in that position, but it has in no way been restricted to men. I respect Hillary Rodham-Clinton's intelligence and education. At this point in time, no one taking over from W is going to be able to resolve the disaster he has created in the next presidency. (It made sense to send the military into Afghanistan. It makes no sense to try to take over the entire Middle East.) I think it is high time we had a woman, or an African American, president. Our presidency needs to STOP being an office reserved for rich white men.

Answer 7

I disagree! Sexist aren't you? Perhaps a woman is just what we need in the presidency. It seems to me that is much preferable to having a bunch of war-crazed maniacal men beating their chests in a contest to show who's the toughest goon on the block.

I predict Hillary will win. Now that the Republican Party has officially owned the debacle in Iraq, the American public will hold them responsible for its aftermath. Newt Gingrich is right! No Republican candidate has a chance of winning in 2008 if they don't divorce themselves completely from the failed policies of the incompetent and corrupt regime of George Bush. That includes a complete repudiation of his policies in Iraq.

Answer 8

I would NEVER vote for Hillary Rodham, but I am indifferent to the candidate's gender. The only ones obsessed with candidate skin color or genitalia is the Democrat Party. I would suggest reading "The Downing Streets Years" by Margaret Thatcher as proof as what strong, principled women can accomplish domestically, internationally, and militarily.

Answer 9

Interesting thought. The most powerful military force in the world, under the direct control of one person who'd be subject to PMS every month.

Answer 10

I disagree with your statement that the presidency is a job where we need a man. I believe that a woman could do the job well. I'm not saying that Hilary is that woman, just that it could be done by a woman.
