Thanks for your post, but that was not the kind of political correctness and social engineering I was referring to.

Surely you’re aware of the corrosive effects we’ve seen on our commanding officers, our servicemen, our morale, and our readiness, haven’t you?

I understand. I work at a HQ USAF staff office and things have changed a lot since I retired 20 years ago. It has really complicated things. It's going to get a lot worse, too. When units deployed to the field we use to pack one latrine tent. Now we need male, female, gender neutral, gender undecided, gender fluctuating, etc.

We didn't need a whole decision tree to figure out who we could bunk together.

They had to rewrite a lot of regulations, forms, and policies to take out gender specific terms.

At a time when funding and manning are at all time lows we're spending hundreds of millions on political correctness that doesn't contribute anything to readiness.

Generals are fired for being too aggressive. It's worse than the peacetime military of the 80s.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

And thank you for your service to this country. Your kind is badly needed!
