Beck rants about ‘handicapable, transgendered breast cancer survivors’ in combat

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Thursday blasted the Pentagon’s decision to lift the ban on women serving in combat roles by warning that the enemies of the United States would not “cower in defeat because we have a female, Hispanic, Eskimo, dwarf cross dresser and some handicapable, transgendered breast cancer survivor as a soldier on the front line.”

“Nobody wants to be a pig, nobody wants to say the unpopular things, we just want to talk about the truth tonight,” Beck explained at the top of his Thursday broadcast. “If a few feathers are ruffled, oh well.”

The enemy is not going to cower in defeat because we have a female, Hispanic, Eskimo, dwarf cross dresser and some handicapable, transgendered breast cancer survivor as a soldier on the front line ready to unleash an attack of unparalleled diversity. Nope, that’s not going to do it. You gotta kill them. That’s how you make people cower in defeat.”

Beck admitted there there were already many women serving on the front lines, “shooting, getting injured, getting blown up.” But he insisted that combat was “a different ballgame.”

Really Mr. Beck? You have military service to back up that statement?

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I took two 'vacations' to Vietnam.

(You may need wikipedia to interpret the acronyms.) My MOS was 31E, My first trip to Nam got me a front row seat to Tet of 1968. On my second trip I was in the invasion of Cambodia (April 1970). I was an REMF, plain and simple.

I've been shot at, mortared at, RPGed at and rocketed at. As an REMF.

Please tell me how combat is “a different ballgame” because when the shit is flying it sure seems like combat to me.

2. I wish you would just let loose and tell us how you really feel.

Beck is so far off base here he's not even in the same time zone with that base. I guess he thinks everyone in his audience is some flavor of FNG. Considering his style, by the time someone has listened long enough they are probably no longer in his audience and no longer FNGs.

He's just wrong.

3. Hey Beck, you POS Chickenhawk

The 139 women soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan were not standing in line at the PX, asshole.
