Why is a Secret Service agent chosen because of tits or skin color?

Yea, thanks!

 

Your quote: "There is a problem in the field with having females-laden units versus all-male units. We don't read about the results of such comparisons...at all."

 

Do they have these comparisons? Do these units exist? If they do exist, are the results that you would want to see based on the goal of the unit?

 

 I lost interest in this thread when the local MAGA went racist, and then decided to prove his point with track and field.

 

Since you're an expert is the only qualification for all these roles physical? As someone who has zero interest in the military, I'm going to go out on a limb and say no, could be wrong. 

 

My other question would be, with declining interest in the armed forces for young Americans, should they find ways to recruit and fit people into roles they can excel at?

I get a kick out of you, Max. 


Just curious about what happened to this:

You know, I'm all for free speech, but if a forum allows this stuff, they may as well allow people to post that they want to bang the neighbors' eight-year-old daughter. Fantasy felonies as post material.

 

I'm done here. Adios. I suggest people leave Kevin to HIS forum. Or dial up the FBI this week and get Kevin on a list. He'll find out pretty quickly that his "opinions" can get his ass on some interesting lists.

 

"Trump as existential threat" is such an overused talking point. Banal. You know, we did make it through one Trump presidency. 

 

Let Kevin have his forum. Maybe he can't afford his own site.

 

 

 

I always wonder why people make a grand exit and then, well, don't. (Bold italics are mine, and my point).

 

Stick around, I may learn something, I always enjoy ideas I haven't heard before.

You're right. I'll hit the trail. You and Kevin and PJ know all you need to know to make heads or tails of life in general. No problem.

 

I can't believe you don't know a fucking thing about gender-based guidelines and physical qualifications for military jobs, or the FBI, or the Secret Service, but you are going to render opinions regarding such. Why do you hold yourself in such high regard? You think people want to know your non-data-based opinions just because...why? You must love to read what you type.

 

These gender arguments are semi-ridiculous. The average male high school basketball guard is as good on the court as an All-American female college player. The best female state-champion miler in high school is as good as the average male high school miler. Women failed to qualify as Navy SEALS for 30 years because there was no curve. If you don't know these things, why would you open your mouth?

 

My last formal act will be give this forum address, the LVAdvisor's physical address, and your and Kevin's handles to Bikers for Trump, in case they'd like to debate you in person. No, don't thank me. I like to bring people together.

1.I can't believe you don't know a fucking thing about gender-based guidelines and physical qualifications for military jobs, or the FBI, or the Secret Service, but you are going to render opinions regarding such. Why do you hold yourself in such high regard? You think people want to know your non-data-based opinions just because...why?

 

In my post before the one you replied to, I asked you about gender-based guidelines and I said didn't have any knowledge of it, so that's why I don't know. 

 

 Why do I hold myself in such high regard, it's pretty easy, it's a fucking internet forum with about 100 members, with two MAGA dudes and a left-wing zealot running this part of it.

 

2. My last formal act will be give this forum address, the LVAdvisor's physical address, and your and Kevin's handles to Bikers for Trump, in case they'd like to debate you in person. No, don't thank me. I like to bring people together.

 

Wow, you're threatening the Las Vegas Advisors office and Huntington Press because of what I said? Unhinged comes to mind. Also, a thin-skinned military expert sending bikers to potentially assault innocent people at their Las Vegas office? Just wow.

 

I find it very weird that someone who has the military background you do would lose it because I pointed out your personal hypocrisy. 

 

I'm able to defend myself and my family.

Are you really arguing that size and strength should not enter into the qualifications?


Precisely! The position of Secret Service agent requires many skills. None of those skills are exclusive to males.

 

As far as sheer mass and bulk are concerned, I can think of a dozen scenarios where a smaller and more mobile person might do a better job than Brutus McChunky. But it's a silly argument anyway. The job is primarily one of intellect, character, and the ability to make good decisions swiftly. Males don't have an exclusive franchise on that.

 

This reminds me of all the tired old kerfuffle when people said that women shouldn't serve in the military. Might have been true ten thousand years ago when Og faced Thak on the battlefield and who could swing the heaviest club was the deciding factor. But sometime well before today, the best soldier became whoever had brains, not brawn.

Hey, Max, I haven't been called a left-wing zealot before. A whole bunch o' other things, but not that. Kind of refreshing, actually. (And I apologize if I'm not the one you were referring to.)

 

Don't worry, I'm not offended. One man's passion is another man's zealotry. I'm sure that all the adoring MAGAs lining up tonight to lick Trump's dick wouldn't classify themselves as zealots. Love-slaves, perhaps.

 

If there's one difference between our MAGAs and me, it's that I'm not a racist, bigot, or misogynist. Those three qualities seem to be the signatures of the old white men demographic to which I, like it or not, belong. God knows, I hear enough of that shit when I'm in a social gathering of my "peers." (Ick.)

 

We zealots are going to be all that can stop Trump, even though we might not be enough, but goddamn it, we're going to try. Even if it means we get called names and people throw rotten fruit at us.

You are the zealot!

"The" zealot? Now I do feel special!

I think Kevin found a new friend. Adorable. You two are so cute together.

LOL. Sorry, man, I've edited military reports as part of technical writing courses at Penn State. My one professor was from the Army War College, where he also taught. When something doesn't get mentioned in military reports, that's not a foil hat. That's a reason.

 

I get a kick out of you, Max. You don't address anything I actually said that was pertinent. You took a throwaway  line, attacked it, and are actually dead wrong. I once edited a report of a tank being driven into a swamp. It took me two pages to figure out what the hell was going on. No names in the report of course, all passive voice, and no direct explanations of who directed what to happen. That wasn't accidental. That wasn't me wearing a foil hat. That was someone writing a report where there would be consequences if the info made the light of day.

 

But you, Max, know better. Sure you do. You want to take a stab at addressing the lack of female Navy SEALS? Or the differential gender qualifying rules for military?


Crickets.......just like when you argue basketball between men and women with Kevin.  They call you "stupid" and say they are too smart to engage with you.  (Because they've lost)
