Will the Joint Chiefs ever make a stand against the Obama Administration?
Will the Joint Chiefs ever stand up against the insane social engineering policies which are eviscerating the military like a late night Ginsu chef?
Last September, General Martin Dempsey retired as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and escaped in a rowboat down the Potomac as the Pentagon began to sink into the cold depths of the wide, grey river.
Dempsey’s reign of cowardice and political correctness was a genuine disaster for the US military. Under Dempsey and his sidekick, Army Chief of Staff, General Ray Odierno, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed, transgenders were authorized to serve in the military and we departed Iraq leaving a power vacuum and the keys to a Pandora’s Box.
Under Dempsey, crippling rules of engagement in Afghanistan continued, which make our soldiers and Marines pop up targets of opportunity. Under Dempsey, military personnel were subjected to hours and hours of sensitivity training, doing physical training wearing pregnancy simulators, lactation and breastfeeding memos distributed to combat commands, a war in the ranks against Christianity, a purge of hundreds of general officers and admirals and my personal favorite…the ordering of US Army ROTC male cadets to parade around college campuses in red high heels, in order to feel sympathy for rape victims.
Under Dempsey, the US began Operation Inherent Resolve, the Five O’Clock Charlie air campaign against ISIS that is the laughing stock of the Middle East.
Under Dempsey, the graduation of three women at Ranger School took place, including a 37 year old woman, in what is still a giant cover up. So much obfuscation and Kool Aid drinking is taking place at Benning, it should be renamed Fort Cognitive Dissonance.
Did Dempsey really believe in all of these lunatic radical cultural Marxist policies? Probably not; I’m sure when Dempsey was a Major in the 3rd Armored Division in Desert Storm he probably never thought, “Well, one day I will command men who will wear red high heels in uniform.” “One day, my boys will run PT in pregnancy simulators in order to feel what it’s like to be pregnant.” One day, when I’m Chairman of the JCS, my soldiers will take classes that will instruct them how the Bible and the Declaration of Independence are sexist documents.”
Most military people are conservative and live to defend the tradition of their service branch, their division, their regiment, their MOS. What did Dempsey believe in? What did Dempsey defend? Dempsey believed in the greater good of Dempsey. Dempsey defended Dempsey’s retirement benefits.
While Dempsey was Chairman of the JCS there was not one iota of criticism from him or Odierno or the other Joint Chiefs against any of the looney directives being issued from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
With Dempsey gone, it was hoped that the new Chairman, General Fighting Joe Dunford, a Marine would take the helm and put a stop to the radical left wing policy initiatives that are killing the US military. If anyone could save the US military it was a Marine. Right?
Wrong…
Sadly, we haven’t seen much fighting from General Joe. He appears to be as lost in the Pentagon as Dempsey, wandering the halls in a surreal fugue state like a late night ghost on the Queen Mary.
I saw him on TV today. He looked like a Marine who had been just been taken off the line after two months of continual combat on Guadalcanal.
Yeah, Ole General Joe had the 1,000 Yard Stare. You know he isn’t a happy camper in Ash Carter’s Pentagon right now.
Under General Joe’s reign as Chairman of the JCS, he’s said nothing as Ash Carter authorized women to serve in the combat arms branches of the military and in special operations units.
In your wildest dreams, do you really believe Joe Dunford thinks women can make it through US Navy SEALs training?
General Joe said nothing as Ray Mabus ordered the military to rewrite its manuals and acronym dictionaries with gender neutral terms.
General Joe has done nothing as Marines have been ordered to undergo unconscious bias training, the Corps wide brainwashing that will attempt to convince Marines that a 5 foot two inch, 95 pound woman can go up against a 6 foot two inch, 200 pound Jihadi in hand to hand combat and live to fight another day.
Uh huh…
General Joe said nothing as the US Navy surrendered two of its heavily armed Riverine craft to Iranian thugs in bass boats.
General Joe said nothing as the commanding officer, Lieutenant David Nartker, violated Articles II and V of the US Military Code of Conduct, while a prisoner of the Iranians.
General Joe has done nothing as the US continues its feckless air campaign against ISIS. While Dunford and the other Joint Chiefs surely know that two bombs a day, doesn’t keep ISIS away, they’ve said nothing.
In lockstep with Ash Carter and Obama, the Joint Chiefs support women signing up and being subjected to a military draft. It’s hard to believe that General Mark Milley, a former Special Forces officer really believes this is a great idea. Milley believes becoming the Chairman of the JCS or the NATO Commander is a great idea though.
Silence is golden in the Pentagon.
Readers might well ask, well, what can these men do? They’re in the military. They take orders.
They can advise the President and Ash Carter and Ray Mabus and Eric Fanny that their policies are lunatic. They can resign en masse.
Imagine a press conference where the Chairman of the JCS and the Joint Chiefs all resign over their problems with current military policies.
That would probably end their careers. So what? What else is there for a four star general to do; Command of the Pentagon Library? These guys are so bogged down in fear of the outside that the thought of not following procedures and orders is anathema to them.
Newsflash boys; this isn’t Nazi Germany. The “I’m only following orders” excuse went out the window at Nuremberg in 1946.
The moral cowards of the JCS are endangering the country they have sworn to defend and the troops they claim to love.
Frankly, my best advice to a future President Trump or Cruz is to fire Dunford and the JCS and to keep firing feather merchants and perfumed princes until this country can once again have some senior leaders with backbone.
Until then, turn up the volume on your TV. The Benny Hill theme is playing at the Pentagon.
Demosey was the worst Joint Chief of Staff in my lifetime. He should be proud of destroying the fiercest fighting machine in the world.
The other Service Chiefs, unlike the Commandant, did not even request an exemption from that order. THE knuckled under without a word of dissent.
The Marines are going to continue opposing this by taking literally the claim that standards should not be lowered. Not a single woman has passed the Infantry Officer's course, and barely a handful the enlisted infantry course.
Dunford just took over, and perhaps a Republican President will reverse that order. Otherwise, the point at which you will see resignations from the Corps is when they are ordered to lower standards. That hasn't happened yet.
Another good one by Ray Starmann. Thanks for posting.
The Russians (who have good reason to know!) say a fish rots from the head first. These guys were picked by Obama precisely for their rotten qualities. Just another wound out of countless others inflicted upon this nation, few of which are known to us as of yet.
I going to take a different tack here, flame away as required.
I know we think of these guys as “perfumed princes” and I suppose that some (many) are, but all of them volunteered, took the oath, most probably graduated from the Academies, and many probably served in combat.
And the top of the chain of command is the Keyan Klown. They have to obey orders or end their careers. How many of you (myself included) could quit a 6 figure income, healthcare and retirement and put your family through that?
I don’t know if I could. I’m not in the line of fire that these guys are.
Active Duty ping.
No.
If they were going to, they would have already done it.
Seeing those pictures, our enemies must be laughing.
Our veterans are probably either crying or angry or both.
Happened a long time ago.
This goes on with a Democrat Administration.
The generals and admirals play along because they are worried that if they don’t the Democrats “will gut their service’s budget”.
Big news flash.....they do anyway.
They all should have resigned when Clinton was impeached for lying.
“We cannot support a Commander In Chief who is a convicted liar.”
They all just stood there with their thumbs up their donkeys.
The problem with that logic is that before the final order was even issued, each branch of the service was given the opportunity to state whether they were opposed to the change, and to submit evidence in support of why they should not be orders to integrate certain MOS's.
Had the Service Chiefs all done so, and presented a united front in opposition to it - as they were all permitted to do - it would have been much more difficult to overrule all of them, and might have rallied support in Congress.
Instead, the Commandant of the Marine Corps was the only one to object and put in writing why. He was the lone hold out, and easily overruled as such.
So the point is that the rest of them knuckled under even before the Order was actually issued. Completely disgraceful.
Please tell me this did not happen.
What a disgrace!
The generals and admirals are now nothing but old farts in big hats fawning over Dear Leader. We are becoming Norkland.
Isn’t there something about Dempsey secretly being homosexual? That would explain alot. Especially the red high heels.
The greatest threat to a real man is being betrayed. It breaks them down and that is the goal of this administration. The head of the executive branch and the co-conspirators in step behind him are following Wright’s (and the kohmeini’s) orders to destroy America.
Pray for our patriots, especially the youngest branch, the Marines. Join the ping list at “Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation”

This pathetic antiAmerican magic negro first removed any military person with a set of balls who may stand up for our constitution.
He then instilled bobble headed liberal dumb ass kissers in our military
then he pushed his social engineering bull shit on our military to degrade it.
