It seems like it’s something new every day now.
It seems like it’s something worse every day now.
Every day, another directive emanates from the Kremlin at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue concerning the absolute evisceration of the US military. Feminist, left-wing social engineers smell blood and they are intent on the complete destruction of our armed forces.
These social engineers don’t care if readiness is destroyed.
These social engineers don’t care if unit cohesion is destroyed.
These social engineers don’t care if combat power is destroyed. They have but one goal, to create some kind of gender neutral fantasy land that is propped up by mythical and twisted Orwellian double-speak.
We are in serious danger. The national defense is in tatters. We know it. Veterans know it. Military personnel know it. Conservatives know it. The brass in the Pentagon damn well know it.
Ash Carter knows it. Anyone with an ounce of sanity knows it.
The US Marines know it better than anyone after what happened to them this week.
“In a Jan. 1 memo Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus ordered the Corps to send him a detailed plan by Jan. 15 for making boot camp and officer training coed. He also requested that the Marines provide him with a “subject matter expert†on the issue.â€
A subject matter expert, being some leftist crackpot working for the White House.
Mabus is nothing more than a lackey, a minion doing the dirty work of the Obama administration. He refused to examine the Corps’ 36 million dollar study, which indicated that all male units performed better in simulated combat conditions than coed units.
The Secretary also ignored the fact that women went 0 for 26 at the Marine Infantry Officers Leadership Course.
So now the Marines have been ordered to conduct coed basic training, something they had vehemently fought against for nearly two decades.
“To date, the Marines have strongly defended their choice to keep enlisted boot camp segregated by gender, even though all the other services conduct coed recruit training.â€
“The Marines hold that that dividing boot camp by gender allowed recruits to learn from same-sex role models, limited distractions, and created a safe space to discuss topics such as sexual assaults that had occurred prior to enlistment.â€
“In general, [recruits] arrive with immature, undeveloped and unfocused thoughts on professionalism and professional conduct,†Marine Corps Training and Education Command spokesman Anton Semelroth said at the time. “The only thing they have in common is their desire to be a Marine. By capitalizing on that desire, recruit training transforms these individuals from many diverse backgrounds into Marines imbued with a common set of values and standards.â€
“Mabus also included a memo for Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller requesting that he review Marine Corps job titles and remove “man†from applicable job titles to make them “gender-integrated.†This means military occupational specialties ranging from 0311, infantryman, to 0321, reconnaissance man, could soon get new names. Mabus demanded this be done and a report submitted to him no later than April 1, 2016, the services’ final deadline for opening all jobs to women.â€
This is the same crazy, politically correct nonsense that has permeated the country’s colleges. To the feminist, leftist wing nuts there are no longer any genders. We are all the same and apparently as inter-changeable as automobile spare parts.
Of course our enemies know the truth. You know the guys that are going to kick our butts and win the next war.
So, the age old titles of infantryman or rifleman are apparently out, to be replaced by infantry person or infantry thing or rifle it.
“You two rifle things go clear that room!â€
“Roger, gunny.â€
The social engineers want us to believe that this is all normal and it is only because of society’s backwardness that we haven’t done this previously.
No, we haven’t done this before because previous presidential administrations were sensible enough to understand reality and weren’t being controlled by feminist whack jobs.
The Navy Secretary also sounded a warning about a list of critical information requirements the Corps included in the integration plan submitted to Carter this month.
That list of developments to be monitored closely include:
–Indications of decreased combat readiness or effectiveness
–Indications of increased risk to Marines in previously closed units, including incidents of sexual assault and harassment, and hazing
–Indications of a lack of career viability for female Marines in newly opened ground combat jobs
–Indications that Marine commands and culture is unreceptive to the inclusion of women in ground combat units
–Indications that moral or cohesion is degrading in newly opened units.
Any idiot knows that combat readiness is about to go down the proverbial head toilet in the Marine Corps. Of course unit cohesion will be degraded. There has never been a military unit in the history of the world that didn’t have cohesion degraded by coed integration.
But, what we really need to worry about is career viability for the half of one percent of female Marines who want to become Sergeant Stryker. That’s what our national security should be centered around.
Mabus doubled down on this insanity by stating that, “None of those potential problems should serve to hinder the rollout of the new integration policy.â€
Sure, don’t worry about a thing Mabus. It’ll all work out splendidly. After you retire, you can sit back and collect your pay and watch what was left of the US Marines get crucified in the next war.
But, you won’t care, will you?
At the end of the day, Mabus doesn’t give a hoot what kind of directive he sends down to the Marines. He could be ordering them to dress like Vatican guards for all he cares. He knows and cares about nothing. He is an enabler, someone doing the White House’s dirty work for them.
Mabus and Obama and Ash Carter are in the process of destroying the United States Marine Corps. Unless a miracle happens and this is all reversed, the United States Marine Corps is KIA (Killed in Action).
Of course one day, when the merde hits the ventilateur, the same kind of people that have done so much to destroy the Corps will wish that the old Marines were back to do the kind of things the Marines have done splendidly for over 200 years…
Things like winning wars.
I just complained about this “engineering” junk on another thread .. it’s only slightly comforting to know there are others who feel the same way.
The destruction of our military has been one of Obama’s primary goals; I’m really convinced of that.
These social engineers don't care if unit cohesion is destroyed.
These social engineers don't care if combat power is destroyed.
They DO care. They prefer it that way.
Save
Destruction of the military is a secondary goal to destroying America entirely. 0bama dreams of a North American islamo-communist caliphate.
I did six years in the Corps (HMH-461) during the Clinton regime and we thought we had it bad. I can’t imagine the frustration, and rage of today Marines. God bless the devildogs of today who have to deal with this insanity.
Marine Corps Times
Marine Corps boot camp, job titles to be gender neutral by April
“So it has been ordered, so it shall be done!”
The whole “ladies in infantry” thing is idiocy, as is the “homo gunnery sergeant in charge” thing but the problems are even bigger than those. We have Marine leaders focused on maintaining their careers rather than moving the Corps to where it has to be in the future. We have little or no amphibious lift, we have large, heavy stuff instead fast-moving expeditionary support, and we are clinging to the last war instead of the future.
Worse, we have the Corps buying into the “zero defects” mentality that eliminates the Corps’ characters that gave us innovation and unpredictability - the Pullers, the Butlers, the Boyingtons, the Edsons - and replaced them with tall, smiling, careerists that never make waves or offend.
That is the death of the Corps.
Prayers for them as they are being betrayed again and again. Is it any wonder that Bergdahl is a hero to the administration?
Indications that only gay women and transgenders are being sucessfully recruited ...
Be sure to check out the photo of Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. He looks to me like someone who should be holding personnel seminars at Health and Human Services. I would not want to have anything to do with the gooey product resulting from the fulfillment of his vision. I think it is time to retire the service dress blues for a mauve uniform with a pink stripe and fashionable French berets.
Considering the defense secretary claimed a long period of study and vigorous debate, I maintain discussion was among those mutually supportive creatures that have metastasized throughout the military to serve the LGBT and feminist social agendas. Most of the points I highlight below about women in combat first arose when the decision was imposed to do away with DADT. A lot of good men are going to have to die in years to come to cover up this needless disaster.
This tragedy of women in combat provides another reason I now always council men to never enter the armed forces. Social engineering that amalgamates feminist and LGBT agendas everywhere has now become the over arching imperative to which all operational capabilities must submit.
However, combat operations too often demand unpredictably and unimaginably exhausting brutality to achieve victory. Therefore, only the highest physical abilities and most severe restrictions on human emotions and behaviors can foster the required high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion required.
Human sexuality simply cannot intrude into this sub-culture where only those displaying the greatest savagery and endurance can hope to win. Resorting to war for national defense entails the ultimate Olympics of conflict occurring at the bleeding edge of existence where the unbelievable becomes the possible. Here there is much less excuse for merging men and women into these struggles than exists for the athletic competitions held every four years.
Combat forms personnel into small, rigid, task oriented units. These people continuously face extraordinary stress punctuated by killing other humans. At the point of collision, they undertake actions requiring sacrificial, primitive and intimate actions. Such environments are inherently chaotic, barbaric, and brittle. They can be overcome only by a totalitarian leadership and narrow focus unimaginable for those who see any opportunity for the social alchemy popular in civilian life.
The regimental combat teams for infantry, mechanized and armored units are now the playthings of bureaucrats committed to equal opportunity and affirmative action. They are dismissive of warriors enduring the brutal carnage imperative for victory. Institutional memories no longer exist for fighting ferocious, shrewd enemies such as the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, and North Vietnamese, who utilized a full array of modern weapons. If one notes the ribbons on any senior officer’s uniform, they show they fought only Arabs the Israelis beat three times at 20 to 1 odds. Such people now question the necessity for high standards which do not obfuscate or allow inferior female performance.
Women not only do not belong at the pointy end of the spear, but should not be holding it to the extent the combat arms must depend on their savagery. As this tragedy unfolds I will remember the quote that, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalfâ€.Â

“Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf”
Women, LGBTs, and assorted sleep peacefully in their beds at night because soft women in pink uniforms stand ready to do bake cookies on their behalf ...
Well stated. I got out after the first Gulf War when I saw the beginning of the end; now I question why I came back. This will be my last hitch, and I don’t know that I’ll stay til the end.
My son in now a corpsMAN, and I have ceased counseling him to stay in. As a white, heterosexual, Christian male, there is no opportunity for advancement or even serving for the country’s good.

There is a reason Navy has beaten Army for 15 straight damn years in football.
I recently saw a picture of a graduating class of Army soldiers out of South Carolina, Ft Jackson. They looked like Walmart door people rejects. Appalling.
