I remember sitting through this training when it first came out. Told my Colonel this was the stupidest thing I had ever heard. He agreed.

they spend 1/3 of a billion to make troops more “optimistic” while giving back all the gains earned by US blood in Iraq and Afghanistan, releasing the worst terrorists back to the battlefield, making a traitorous buddy-killing deserter into a hero, making secret deals with the enemy who kills our soldiers, having an imam chant muslim prayers over the remains of dead SEAL Team 6 helicopter victims, cutting military benefits, capping pay and riffing people and telling them they are going to get new good jobs changing light bulbs to fight global warming.

What's wrong with this picture?

wth!

Disregarding for a moment the political and lifestyle reasons why morale is so low...

There are a little over half a million Active Duty personnel in the Army... If they had just given everyone a $500 bonus instead of throwing it away on an ‘optimism program’, I bet the troops would be a lot happier.

"I rarely count on good things happening to me."

Well when was that ever the case?
The only "good" thing to ever happen was going on leave!

This is why the Left will never understand the military or the military mind.
We went to places that sucked and did things that sucked - and we knew it was all going to suck - but we went anyway... because somebody had to.

F'ing liberals who think military life can be made to not suck - THEY SUCK!

How does that compare with the civilian work force?

Soldiers understand a lack of leadership at the top. It flows downhill.

Clearly, what is needed are most mandatory transgender sensitivity sessions.

My DI said that we were there for two purposes: to kill the enemy, and to destroy his stuff.

Now, the DI might tell the recruits, you were there for two purposes: to accept diversity, and to provide meals on wheels.

Our enemies are laughing at us, because they don't fear us.

Of course morale is low.

Sad.
