And don’t forget “A Few Good Men” program of the Marines. Saying that now would probably get you court-martialed and thrown in the brig.

I've seen the bits and pieces as they come up, but never the whole disaster revealed in the raw.

It makes this Vet want to puke.

Sickening.

And all this is not lost on the likes of Putin, Xi, Un, or any other of our potential enemies.

I would have thought that this President and ‘Mad Dog’ would have put a stop to the self destruction el pronto.

So pouring money on top of this rot not only wastes money but continues to blind Americans to the real state of their military. I wonder why those who demand the military be coed in every job have not demanded the same of professional sports? Are women able to fight and win wars but not able to play professional football? Why not? Or is the motive to destroy a military from within because it can’t (or couldn”t) be destroyed from without?

I remember clearly, what I refer to as ‘The Purge’, where there Obama years was getting rid of scores of military personnel who disagreed with his agenda. I always thought many that didn’t want to go of their own free will were ‘nudged’ or framed. Wouldn’t take much for someone to plant items on their computers. Just ask Sharyl Attkisson.

I remember how Trump talked up Mattis at his campaign rallies, “Maddog Mattis” was going to fix our military, put us in a stronger position than ever before. So now Maddog turns out to be Lapdog Mattis who has not lifted a finger to clean up the social experiments in the military and even countermanded Trump’s cross dresser order. And where is that since it was delivered to the White House a month or more ago? Mattis is a disaster as sure as McNamara and Obama’s Sec Defs were. Next fire should be Mattis.

The mad dog rolled over at his confirmation hearing and has been a lap puppy since, tongue lolling.

Those 80s Army ads were really good.

Reediness rate for deployment for units with women - care to guess?

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/09/10/439190586/marine-corps-study-finds-all-male-combat-units-faster-than-mixed-units

www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/acsc/99-016.pdf

Money quote -
Some deploying units reported that non-deployable rates for pregnancy among women were as much as 30% of those assigned.

I think we already know the answer to that. I for one believe it was all by design to totally destroy moral and our fighting forces. Rendering our Country defenseless. Much like they want our citizens.

It is easy to understand and very clear to see when you realize those who were in charge of destroying our military were Globalists who hate the history and populace of the United States. They are the same ones calling for us to be destroyed now. They attack us just for daring to want America being Great!

Back in the 1980’s, the Army ran a series of successful commercials, with the slogan, “Be All You Can Be.”

I used to mock that song too...

"Beep all that you can beep.
You're a robot in the arrrrrr-meep."

On Two And A Half Men Berta’s granddaughter said she was thinking about joining the Army. Berta said “You can’t join the Army.”

Her granddaughter asked “Why not?”

Berta said “Because you’re already all you can be.”

As long as the flag rank officers use the term “superb”, it’s all ok.

All the ads were better back then, frankly.

“I would have thought that this President and ‘Mad Dog’ would have put a stop to the self destruction el pronto.”

Congress wouldn’t let them put a stop to it. But, should these politically correct/diversity troops ever find themselves in serious combat the problem will fix itself.

The Army motto was Be All You Can Be
The Air Force was Aim High

Combined it was Be As High As You Can Be.....
