US Navy gets PC makeover — while its ships fall apart
NY Post ^ | October 15, 2016 | Post editorial board

Posted on 10/15/2016 10:51:29 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is facing furor in the ranks over his decision to break with centuries of tradition and stop all identification of sailors by their job titles. It’s a lunatic fight to be having when the Navy faces multiple disasters.

Those challenges include crippling flaws in its newest class of ships, as well as serious problems with the new supercarrier, the Gerald R. Ford.

Formal delivery of the ship is already 14 months late, and persistent electrical problems remain a mystery. It’s supposed to be the first of a new class, packed with new tech — but it can’t manage to actually power all its systems. Oh, and the price tag’s already up to $12.9 billion, 20 percent above initial estimates.

Meanwhile, the Navy’s littoral combat ships are still plagued with bugs eight years after the first one launched. The latest bad news: USS Montgomery (LCS-8) suffered a cracked hull after colliding with a tugboat while trying to escape Hurricane Matthew.

That came just weeks after the entire class was on “engineering stand down” after four engineering casualties within a year.

Worse, the LCS class is looking too fragile for combat: The ships have proven highly vulnerable to small-boat swarms in the very near-coast waters they were designed for — e.g., in the Gulf off Iran.

Yet none of this stopped the secretary for moving ahead with politically correct remaking of the Navy’s personnel system. He’s out to erase all vestiges of sexism from the service, including hurtful rank titles like “corpsman” and dozens of other “-man” words.

The problem is that the men (and, yes, women) who serve are proud of the job titles they’ve earned. And brusquely junking them shows that Mabus has no concept of how shipboard camaraderie is cultivated.

Well, I think it is sexist, misogynistic, islamophobic, homophobic, and downright deplorable to refer to a woman sailor as a "seaMAN."

Please read the tagline before flaming...

Radical egalitarianism (Marxism)-—is total dehumanization and removal of all unique identity in people, so Up is Down, Boys are Girls and Reason/Logic/Natural Hierarchy is ERASED from REALITY. People will have no exposure to “natural” anything (and Natural Law Theory created our Constitution (Reason/Logic/God’s Design of the Universe).

Most children can’t even process any “natural” emotions anymore being programmed 24/7 by screens/no human interactions which are unstructured so they learn skills of life (to think for self) Never unstructured play in a natural setting where they have to actually use their brain (learn agency). They are no better than “bots”-——Mind in a Vat. Unable to “think” critically for LIFE because they are programmed from birth with artificial screens and strangers-—perverts dumping in their emotions/desires/forming their “thoughts”-—warped-—all warped/unnatural—removed from Reality/Truth (Male/Female unity) (God)

Get your children OUT of the Matrix!!!!

It is for the irrational (insane) children being raised to reject Truth (God), reject Biology/Science, for what “feels” good/nice. They are the puppets/jackboots of the future. We are raising the future Prussian army-—people who just take orders and never “think” for themselves.

It is all for the NWO-—for removal of all Natural instincts and individualism—so to create One Mind (group (non) think) so the masses are just tribal minds-—herds to be totally controlled and culled and used by the elites like they did for millennia when the masses were all serfs/peasants/tribes/slaves/concubines/harems. Disposable, controlled people with no dignity and no worth (no agency) like in China.

(They are laughing and rubbing their hands together in glee as they indoctrinate and program your children with TV/Movies/screens-—to remove them from Reality and normalize irrationality-—artificial reality for their ultimate slavery/materialism/worldly lusts.

Answer? Read-—the Classics (Bible), History (primary sources). The only way to integrate the brain is with real life experiences interacting with other human beings where you have moral ROLE models of male/female so you learn to understand self/all others/interactions (Reality/Natural Law). Also, you need to read to exercise the brain using it without distraction-—for focus which is being destroyed in sesame street fashion by all the distractions-—lights and whistles—which actually create lazy brains that can’t ever focus for long periods of time (never mature).

People who can not Reason are dehumanized-—reduced to cattle. That is what Common Core does-—destroys the integration of the brain and fixates children into puerile ages so they will never mature. Education is ONLY done by parents and people who actually love them——and by great role models. Skools remove role models for puerile, immature modeling of group “think”——herd control-—embedding dependency and fear of “thinking” differently from the herd.

It is how the sodomites has forced sodomy on our little boys-—because we have been programmed into “herd” control-—they make us “feel” bad if we go against Lies and Evil-——Truth is demeaned and reviled in a system of group-think programming.

“And brusquely junking them shows that Mabus has no concept of how shipboard camaraderie is cultivated.” Nor does he care. Its about his legacy.

Another topic that won't be discussed at the next debate because Chris Wallace will be too busy asking Trump multiple groping questions. It would be great if Trump would answer each question by saying, "Since you won't ask real questions, I'll answer as if you did. Here is my position on blank. Hillary's is the opposite. I read it in WikiLeaks." And just keep doing that.

Oh yes, Wallace will howl that Trump is avoiding the questions, but Trump can simply dismiss him with, "Chris, I came here to debate the issues, not rehash the same stories you and the rest of the media have been pounding day after day while ignoring her emails, secret Wall Street speeches, and her disappearance due to health reasons from the campaign trail."

You think Mabus, Carter or Obama care a wit about the Navy as a fighting force? Not a chance in hell.

I agree. He needs to answer the question that should have been asked in a fair debate and not the gotcha questions that will be asked.

You can include McCain in that list.

Same attack as on the term “airman”, which NOBODY I ever met in 30 years in the USAF ever had a problem with. We - men and women - are proud to be called Airmen.

Colonel, USAFR
Airman
