Marines across the Corps will be challenged on their unconscious prejudices and presuppositions as women get the opportunity to become grunts for the first time. The Marine Corps is rolling out mandatory training for all Marines before the first future female rifleman hits boot camp, aiming to set conditions for a smooth transition and head off cultural resistance. Mobile training teams will be dispatched to installations across the Corps throughout May and June to offer a two-day seminar to majors and lieutenant colonels, Col. Anne Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, told reporters Thursday. Those officers will then train the Marines under them.

If Cultural Marxism is going to infest the Armed Forces then we should go all Soviet and have political officers. The political officers will make sure the combat officers are not affected by "unconscious bias"; that phrase reeks of Marxian "false consciousness".

1984 finally penetrates the Marine Corps. Another great institution goes down the drain under our Emperor and his court jester, Ashton Carter. And still the Generals put career over country.

Gee, one can see what happens when boats like the Red October lose their political officer! So, we will probably need at least two in each unit.

Is this different from the CONSCIOUS BIAS against reality that this White House suffers from?

Down the friggin' drain over a little Leftist propaganda? No way.
  Fifteen years ago all employees of the company I worked had to undergo some BS "sensitivity" training KRAP.
  If anything, it made most employees that much more angry about the whole situation.
For the Marines, it'll be like pouring water on a duck's back.

They’re pushing this crap where I work as lunch time ‘unpaid training’ - nobody is attending. It pisses corporate off, they might have to pay, to have people take this training.

Cripes...It used to be: “empty the magazine”.

Gen. Lewis “Chesty” Puller would be horrified, I believe. I’m not even a Marine, but I’ve read biographies of that great man.

Good! So in basic training when it comes time for “close quarters combat” forget they are women and let them have it just like you would a guy.

Yes, the message will be "Those females can't carry as much as you, run as long as you, or fight as well as you, but they are "equal" to you. "

"And you better show them respect."

We do have political officers, they are called Equal Opportunity Commissars.

It's not "training" it's indoctrination.

It’s 1984. Nonsense is asserted and called “truth.”
