Don’t forget - obama authorized military folks IN UNIFORM to march in Gay Pride Parades.

+++

The fall of the US Army went into warp speed during the two Obama administrations. More leftists flooded into the military, intent on destroying the army’s conservative values and replacing them with Hollywood style, Silicon Valley start-up ethics. Aided and abetted by General Martin Dempsey, Secretaries of the Army John McHugh and Eric Fanning, and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed, transgenders were initially authorized to serve, women were allowed to serve in the combat arms and special operations, male ROTC cadets paraded around campuses in red high heels, male soldiers were forced to conduct physical training in pregnancy simulators, breastfeeding and lactation memos were sent out to worldwide commands, women were put through Ranger School under false pretenses, the Bible and Constitution were taught in DoD classes as sexist documents and white privilege training was conducted.

You are right on. And many excellent and promising junior officers and NCO’s have left the service for those reasons.

The fall began when the Army became heterogeneous.

well written. I could NOT enlist/nor re-enlist under today’s Army expectations—We trained to live and act as becomes a Christian Soldier. A reflection of George Washington’s General Orders. But after we were pulled from the Republic of Vietnam -Victory Denied— when the Democrats took over they purged the Military and will take our Army a very longtime to recover—ifit has that time.

“The army of 1991 could defeat this current army”

What about the Army of 1945?

We all know the military went to hell by design during Obama’s reign of terror, It manufests in things like this, mid ocean ship collisions, aircraft crashes, shoddy maintenance and a thousand other ways, But for Christ’s sake Trump should ave been well on the road with his own branch secretaries to fixing this mess. Perhaps it can’t be fixed?

Absolutely correct.

Retiring this spring with 32 years of service.

When I was asked if I had attended “transgender sensitivity training”, my first thought was “Stop the Army. I’d like to get off now”.

I welcome my pending retirement. It’s not my Army anymore.

The army of 1991 could defeat this current army.

A pack of cranky Cub Scouts and a pre-menstrual Den Mother could defeat this current army.

I'm grateful that I had the great fortune to have served when I did under president Reagan.

Spenser Rapone, Bowe Bergdahl, Chelsea Manning – multiple indicators that the army has a major problem and that the lean green machine is decaying by the hour.

In the late 70s, we had a unit, dont remember what size, from 1-1 CAV sharing a Kaserne with us in Schwabach, Germany. We were 1st AD also.

The same Army that assigned Nidal Hasan to his post at Fort Hood counseling soldiers returning from battle. Same Army.

The Left/Swamp has long desired an army that would fire on the American People when ordered.

Now it almost has one that will indeed shoot, but will also turn tail and run when the People shoot back.

I doubt your namesake would agree with your treatise, even today.

All one has to do is look, sure you’ll see the debris and detritus that shares fighting positions with stalwart sons, fools who hide behind supposed liberty to spoil the scene for those who would rather be wrapped in our flag, if need be, to preserve our constitution.

Take a snapshot of the military, I doubt you’d have a percentage any different than one taken in 1918, 1944, 1952, 1968 or 1991 or 2005 or....

Stop making mountains out of mole hills, these pests will be squashed, normally quietly and w/o the fanfare the media likes to think they are worth. This idiot, like the rest of us has an opinion and an a**h*le, and both of his stink, as we say in Army vernacular.

Good bye, Lieutenant.

I echo your sentiments. The Army I served in from 1976 - 2001 no longer exists. Sure, there are still plenty of soldiers who are warrior patriots and are genuine in their sworn duty to support and defend the Constitution. The “organization” they serve under being misled by social engineers and self serving generals is rotten to the core.

What the Hell does Trump know about the Army? He knows only what the Yes men around him tell him.
It’s probably why Matt is told the Senator the other day that we should stay in the Iran treaty,our Army is pathetic,Trump thinks it can take on North Korea.
This country is F...ed!
