What has our military become?

Thanks, I think they are the same as the Seabees only the Army.
Daddy was in the Combat Engineers and they spent most of their time behind the lines repairing roads bridges etc. Most of their casualties were from clearing mines and artillery. At one time they were losing so many men and machines that they had to work at night.
Every now and then they were the tip of the spear tho and at least once were turned into infantry because the Germans had counterattacked, destroyed their bridge and were near to pushing us back into the river.

And what about that almost-a-Confederate flag?
Why, it’s a microaggression!

What has our military become? What the Liberals always wanted it to be. The biggest government Social Program there is.

Something to think about for all those women who believe they'd like to be in combatI'm a Luddite. Don't know how civilization doesn't have rules with roles predominantly filled by men and women. Some outliers?....for sure. But,mygosh, if women don't maintain the house, care for the kids, relate to their communities, give a guy some direction and obligation, society breaks down.

We had two go AWOL, on came back one day before being declared a deserter (he got a medical discharge with a promotion to E4), the other came back a few months later (he got a slap on the wrist, busted to E1, extra duty, barracks confinement). They were both E2’s when they skipped out.

It does appear that the uniform is of the maternity variety.

“Why would you punish traditionalist young women by subjecting them to selective service, in order to make a statement against feminists?”
If my sons have to register why shouldn’t your daughters? Females want the combat slots because it helps promotion and career progression.
Not because they think they’ll see combat.

Female pilots - why not? It helps to be small and no big strength requirement. Other combat roles - you gotta be kidding.
