“In the the Marine Corps, we don't have quotas, but we do have goals. And Marines accomplish goals," my officer-in-charge told me and a few other brand-new second lieutenants, each of us assigned to temporary recruiting duty while awaiting orders to Quantico. The captain then told us we had to sign up a certain number of college-enrolled racial minorities and females. No need to be too strict on physical fitness or academics, he said. Just bring them in.
That was in 2009. Discrimination of this sort has been an ingrained yet lamentable part of the military's recruitment, retention and promotion practices for many years. But my fellow officers and I couldn't have imagined that, 12 years later, our disagreement with these policies would get us labeled "racist," "sexist," "bigoted" or "extremists" worthy of "eradication" and "elimination" from the USMC. Yet the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps said as much in his February 22 "core values" memo....

Woke Military - bump for later.....
The b****-slapping Biden's impotent State Dept got in Alaska indicates China does not find
Biden’s P/C military of woke Generals, transsexuals, and pregnant female soldiers intimidating.
I swear I just woke up and am living in the USSR circa 1959.
I got into it with this quasi-libtartded/libertaiantard about the American military as I am a vet and the other guy would never “fight other’s wars”. I won’t be long winded and will just conclude by stating the cornerstone of the Republic of its founding principles and the incredible importance of the military and its legacy are in jeopardy. The ignorance of most is disgusting and those who are a direct threat to the republic know where to attack at our once strongest points as they are now eroding.
This country needs to repent. Ignoring God or having religion without the Author of life has given us leaders that damage the integrity and the defensability of the country.
This is decadence--the decay of civilisation.
Soon there will be no standards to protect or defend.
Spoiled, overindulged, stupid Americans are now descending the staircase. It won't take much for thugs in hobnail boots to wipe them out. They won't know what hit them.
If America succumbs to decadence, can Caligula be far behind? Nero? Hitler? Stalin? Pol Pot?
They are doing what the Bolsheviks did during WWI.
Yevgraf Zhivago - From Dr. Zhivago
“In bourgeois terms, it was a war between the Allies and Germany. In Bolshevik terms, it was a war between the Allied and German upper classes - and which of them won was of total indifference. My task was to organize defeat, so as to hasten the onset of revolution. I enlisted under the name of Petrov. The party looked to the peasant conscript soldiers - many of whom were wearing their first real pair of boots. When the boots had worn out, they’d be ready to listen. When the time came, I was able to take three whole battalions out of the front lines with me - the best day’s work I ever did. But for now, there was nothing to be done. There were too many volunteers. Most of it was mere hysteria.”
Sounds like McNamara’s 100,000 from the 1960s when they signed up these below the idiot line recruits for the Vietnam slaughter machine. Just sign em up cause they are going to get killed anyway. THAT was the LBJ thought line.
I agree wholeheartedly and have been praying thusly.
I bump this to find out about the inevitable reprisal against his Marine Major.
This article is shocking!
Not because the Marines are now a pathetic bunch of diverse woke pussies, but because this article has been published in a communist propaganda gazette like Newsweak...
As far as the “Corpse” is concerned, if anybody had told us, at midnight when the whole train unloaded at Yamasee in July 1951, how this would come about, they would have been committed to an insane asylum...
Unbelievable how much I miss Gunny Ermy.
I’m sorry, I thought that “Marines kill everything they see.”
Yep... McNamara’s Morons. It was an unmitigated disaster.
The Yemassee Train Depot was the final stop for Marine Corps Recruits to Parris Island for much of the 19th and 20th centuries.Even after this sad development, thanks for your service.
Signed, an AF Blue suiter who remembers marching on the tarmac with briefcases while a few of your Marine buddies stood by the aircraft hangers and laughed themselves silly. Believe me, we felt silly too.
The b****-slapping Biden’s impotent State Dept got in Alaska indicates China does not find Biden’s P/C military of woke Generals, transsexuals, and pregnant female soldiers intimidating.

but they do find them good for a belly laugh and side-splitting entertainment.
It truly feels that way.
