I just complained about this “engineering” junk on another thread .. it’s only slightly comforting to know there are others who feel the same way.

The destruction of our military has been one of Obama’s primary goals; I’m really convinced of that.

These social engineers don't care if readiness is destroyed.

These social engineers don't care if unit cohesion is destroyed.

These social engineers don't care if combat power is destroyed.

They DO care. They prefer it that way.

I did six years in the Corps (HMH-461) during the Clinton regime and we thought we had it bad. I can’t imagine the frustration, and rage of today Marines. God bless the devildogs of today who have to deal with this insanity.

The whole “ladies in infantry” thing is idiocy, as is the “homo gunnery sergeant in charge” thing but the problems are even bigger than those. We have Marine leaders focused on maintaining their careers rather than moving the Corps to where it has to be in the future. We have little or no amphibious lift, we have large, heavy stuff instead fast-moving expeditionary support, and we are clinging to the last war instead of the future.

Worse, we have the Corps buying into the “zero defects” mentality that eliminates the Corps’ characters that gave us innovation and unpredictability - the Pullers, the Butlers, the Boyingtons, the Edsons - and replaced them with tall, smiling, careerists that never make waves or offend.

That is the death of the Corps.

Be sure to check out the photo of Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. He looks to me like someone who should be holding personnel seminars at Health and Human Services. I would not want to have anything to do with the gooey product resulting from the fulfillment of his vision. I think it is time to retire the service dress blues for a mauve uniform with a pink stripe and fashionable French berets.

Considering the defense secretary claimed a long period of study and vigorous debate, I maintain discussion was among those mutually supportive creatures that have metastasized throughout the military to serve the LGBT and feminist social agendas. Most of the points I highlight below about women in combat first arose when the decision was imposed to do away with DADT. A lot of good men are going to have to die in years to come to cover up this needless disaster.

This tragedy of women in combat provides another reason I now always council men to never enter the armed forces. Social engineering that amalgamates feminist and LGBT agendas everywhere has now become the over arching imperative to which all operational capabilities must submit.

However, combat operations too often demand unpredictably and unimaginably exhausting brutality to achieve victory. Therefore, only the highest physical abilities and most severe restrictions on human emotions and behaviors can foster the required high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion required.

Human sexuality simply cannot intrude into this sub-culture where only those displaying the greatest savagery and endurance can hope to win. Resorting to war for national defense entails the ultimate Olympics of conflict occurring at the bleeding edge of existence where the unbelievable becomes the possible. Here there is much less excuse for merging men and women into these struggles than exists for the athletic competitions held every four years.

Combat forms personnel into small, rigid, task oriented units. These people continuously face extraordinary stress punctuated by killing other humans. At the point of collision, they undertake actions requiring sacrificial, primitive and intimate actions. Such environments are inherently chaotic, barbaric, and brittle. They can be overcome only by a totalitarian leadership and narrow focus unimaginable for those who see any opportunity for the social alchemy popular in civilian life.

The regimental combat teams for infantry, mechanized and armored units are now the playthings of bureaucrats committed to equal opportunity and affirmative action. They are dismissive of warriors enduring the brutal carnage imperative for victory. Institutional memories no longer exist for fighting ferocious, shrewd enemies such as the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, and North Vietnamese, who utilized a full array of modern weapons. If one notes the ribbons on any senior officer’s uniform, they show they fought only Arabs the Israelis beat three times at 20 to 1 odds. Such people now question the necessity for high standards which do not obfuscate or allow inferior female performance.

Women not only do not belong at the pointy end of the spear, but should not be holding it to the extent the combat arms must depend on their savagery. As this tragedy unfolds I will remember the quote that, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf”.

œIn a Jan. 1 memo Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus ordered the Corps to send him a detailed plan by Jan. 15 for making boot camp and officer training coed. He also requested that the Marines provide him with a “subject matter expert” on the issue.”
