As a woman, I'm saying this to you, do you REALLY want a commander in chief who has PMS every month and has hormonal issues and is short tempered? I think a man is better suited for the job! for many reasons, and I DO believe in woman's rights.

I don't think sex has anything to do with competency to make decisions in the national interest that involve the military. Political motivation has driven virtually all the ill-conceived military adventures in which this country has been engaged. For instance, we waged with Mexico in 1846 to complete the groundwork for our coast-to-coast empire. We manufactured war with Spain in 1898 so we could get in the game as the last global colonial power (we obtained Puerto Rico, the Phillipines, Guam...we annexed Hawaii the same year on our own, but with the same motivation). A series of military interventions in Central America in the first half of the 20th century under several presidents virtually guaranteed that all these nations would be ruled by dictators friendly to our corporate interests (e.g. the United Fruit Company)...and then there was tragedy of Vietnam (with the participation of four more presidents) and the current Iraq situation. Needless to say, history teaches us that being male is clearly no prerequisite for sound utilization of the military. Perhaps a woman can help our nation to be a true leader---one that leads by responsible example rather than the usual "do as I say, not as I do" style of global "leadership."

When I came here to answer this question I was going to say YES, i have no problem, except I definitely don't want Hillary Clinton, that would be a disaster.
After reading some of the answers from the women, they admit to having PMS and hormonal problems occasionally. It is something to think about. Also the fact that many of the Islam nations that we are in conflict with would lose any fear they have of us if we had a woman president. At this time, we need fear, It helps to defend us. Its helps because our enemies realize we are capable of defeating them. All we need is a truly conservative President. Conservative, not the liberal republican we have now. Bush tries, but is too politically correct, to worried about how many "innocent" bystanders get hurt. That is one of the deterrents to war, one of the reasons to surrender. If the enemy sees their families dieing for their stupidity they may stop their insanity. We need a president that our enemies will fear and respect, one that wont prosecute our own military if a civilian accidentally gets killed in the crossfire. We didn't start this war, but we need to win it or freedom will be lost to all. We cant hide from the fact that people want us dead for no logical reason. They cannot be reasoned with. Its simply kill or wait to be killed.
So the real question is...Can a woman be the leader we need at THIS time in our history? I would welcome any leader that is a REAL American, and not afraid of what the fools in this country think. If the leaders listen to the fools just to become elected then they are NO better than the fools. Do whats right for the country NO matter what. That's what i think we need in a leader, male or female.

the average age of a president has been late 40's to early 50's most women don't have pms by then, I think a woman would be a good president because of her motherly instincts, as long as the woman has a true love for this country, she won;t do anything to hurt it's people or reputation...

NO way! This would be a disaster. Not only do women have their hormones to deal with (today I feel like killing the whole world! tomorrow I love everybody --- trust me on this one)but can be very vicious and conniving. We all saw this played out in school. Not good not good no a global scale.

And most assuredly NOT the one running now! agree about Margaret Thatcher but she was a rare woman indeed. SPC Glyn has good points as well .... the Clinton administration was rather hostile towards the services. SO does medtrans -- weather you like it or not it is still a man's world we live in when it comes to politics.

I would like to see the election of a competent president, regardless of gender.

Regarding the answerer's arguments concerning female hormones, there are many factors to consider.

First, Hillary Clinton was born in 1947 and she is close to 60 years old. Her menstrual cycle has likely ceased.

Secondly, men have hormones, too. Testosterone can lead to aggression in men. Both men and women have hormonal ups and downs that can lead to emotional fluxuations.

Thirdly, if you choose to ignore the above facts, consider this: if women should be kept out of high-ranking positions because of dangerous hormone imbalances that would cause them to be vicious, coniving, and short-tempered, then why on earth would we allow women to be mothers? Why would we allow them to be around children, who cannot protect themselves from hormonal women? Should women not be quarantined from their children because they could fly off the handle at any moment? It is important to consider other scenarios in which women have been given charge of important matters (and have been highly successful) before we reach such questionable conclusions about the nature of women.

The gender of President is completely irrelevant to me. The important thing is that they have the proper skill set to be an effective President. I do not believe that Hillary has those skills and I do not believe she would be an effective commander in chief.

If Margaret Thatcher was reincarnated as a natural born American I would vote for her in a second.

ready willing and able
In the United States, the commander-in-chief, is also the President of the United States.

I have been ready for a woman, a mormon, a latino, a black, a muslim, an asian, a jew or any other person to be commander-in-chief - as long as that person has the interest of the American people, and the peoples of the world in mind.

I was never ready for a stupid, uneducated (although got a free pass from Yale and Harvard business school) ethno-centric, myopic individual whose only credential is being a member of the lucky sperm club (born of wealth and power) but never really worked for anything in earnest to deserve what he has to be a commander-in-chief.

SPC Glynn, Elliott USA SC
I personally have no issue with a woman being my commander in chief. but if you are refering to hilary being our first, i have to respectfully decline. having grown up in the military, being a dependant of two service members and also a grandson to one as well, i have a huge pride in the service. particularly in the uniform. it is a huge pride that everyday i get the honor and priviledge to wear the uniform. yet the only president in our nations history to not allow service members to wear their uniforms in the white house was William Clinton. This was not because he said no, but because his wife put in the white house dress code that no military uniforms were allowed in the white house.

how can you lead an armed service, let alone all five, if you can tolerate the uniform??

My only issue with a female in the White House as President is the fact that these nations that continuously try to invade us, (e.g., Twin Towers, Pentagon, Pennsylvania field) have absolutely NO respect or consideration for women. If you look the majority of those countries have their women covered, or they still cannot vote, have no say in anything. In my opinion having a female President would bring on even more attacks against us. These "men" I use that lightly, who run these foreign countries, I feel would find it extremely easy to attack a woman, thus leading to even more attacks and causing the female to have to take more aggressive actions, than say a man in office.
These are just my feelings

I could care less who is in office. I just wish more people who have actually served in the military would run. I would feel much better if I knew the next president had a realistic outlook on what needs to be done. You can't just pull a card out of a card house before reenforcing it.

Domangeo, that was Clinton. Our current President was in the armed service. Yes, I would consider Ms. Rice. NOT Hillary, she's had her chance at it, and walked us very nearly into socialism. Remember her first term, before everyone reminded Bill HE was the one that got elected. The current speaker of the house, is too liberal, as well. I would never consider such a person. I do not regret the decision to go over to the middle east and show these people they cannot come here with complete impunity and destroy our way of life! I don't know where you get your facts, but they must be checked.
