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

Money quote -
Some deploying units reported that non-deployable rates for pregnancy among women were as much as 30% of those assigned.
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.”
My boys are fourth generation military that I know of. I have one Annapolis grad and one looking to get in. They will do is well.
As long as the flag rank officers use the term “superb”, it’s all ok.
One of these days we will encounter a real enemy.Like the Chinese or Russians. Then God help us.
CIC?
The US Military. Unfortunately, another swamp to be drained.
“All-male task force teams outperformed mixed gender units in 69 percent (92 of 134) of ground combat tasks...”
This is how you know they aren’t really serious. Why would you have all male units compete against mixed gender units? If a soldier is a soldier, shouldn’t they just form all female combat units and see how they do if they really wanted to know?
Freegards
Can you visualize Putin reading this? He would be laughing so hard, his tears would be rolling down his pants legs.
If you are dirt poor, have absolutly no chance of ever getting out of poverty, have no chance of a higher education or a decent paying job then by all means join the military, use the education benefits to get a degree and try and get a MOS that will train you for a highly demanded job when you get out after 4-6 years. Otherwise, if you have any opportunities for education and/or a decent job then DON’T. I spend 24 years in service and I am grateful for opportunities I did not otherwise have. However, the service is not what it once was and I would not recommend making it a career.
Like some of us can say - I suffered through it when the military decided it was OK to be homosexual (after first deciding they wouldn’t actively pursue homosexuals who “kept their mouth shut”) and was fortunate to be able to retire before they made homosexuality mandatory.
