Marines brace for mandatory sensitivity training

The Obama administration has turned the greatest fighting force on the planet into a social engineering petri dish.

Marines will soon be forced to attend “unconscious bias” training – in advance of women joining the infantry.

The seminar will focus on how people prejudge others based on factors like race and gender, and principals of institutional change.

“There’s no doubt we’re leading cultural change,” Brig. Gen. James Glynn said. “We like a challenge.”

A Center for Naval Analyses survey found a “significant majority” of male Marines opposed having women serve in ground combat jobs.

Mobile training teams will be dispatched across the Corps in May.

“The purpose of the mobile training team is to begin to facilitate the cultural change,” Glynn said.

Col. Anne Weinberg described one of the potential questions.

“In the field you’ve got three women and six guys. How are you going to billet?”

How are Marines supposed to get combat training when they are deluged with sensitivity training and equal opportunity training and sexual harassment training?

Yeah, it's a Cultural Revolution, all right. A Great Leap Forward. I'm surprised they don't have a Five Year Plan.

I had to go through a two day course in sensitivity training required by my company. I decided that I would not say anything, to stay out of trouble. They got around that by calling on people who did not say anything. I almost made it through. Late in the second day I was asked something that I answered truthfully. I failed the course.

I was allowed to take it a second one rather than being fired. I was VERY careful what I said the second time.

Bottom line: “Obama is doing all that he can to decrease the effectiveness of our fighting forces.”

“You have 6 men and 3 men dressed like women, how are you going to billet?”

Easy. The men put on makeup and womens underwear and pretend to be women. /s

“There are no points for political correctness in combat,” one reader wrote. “This insanity will get Marines killed.”

I'm sure that or basta*rd Mullah himself ordered all this 'training.'

Two guys per girl, take turns carrying part of her load.

there really needs to be an uprising , across the entire military , to just say no to all this politically directed crap .

Where are their balls ? The air crews for AF1 need to boycott their mission , to haul these idiots around .

The brass needs to informed that if they push on this stuff
that their own lives will get really difficult .

Just say no . Hell no !

“Come on, Sarge, it’s not enough that you kill terrorists and break down their headquarters, you have to care about their feelings, too - not to mention the feelings of obama’s homosexual and transsexual pals; and let’s not forget the girls, too; don’t forget to offer to hump their rucks for them.”
