The US Marines are the latest casualty in the Maoist Cultural Revolution being shoved down the throat of the military and incinerating the fighting spirit and readiness of the armed forces like a five alarm fire.
As reported this week by Military.Com, Marines across the Corps will be challenged on their unconscious prejudices and presuppositions as women get the opportunity to become grunts for the first time.
Unconscious prejudices and presuppositions defined as simple facts such as women lack the upper body strength, the aerobic lung capacity, testosterone for aggressiveness, are more prone to injuries, while possessing a myriad of hygiene issues in the field that men do not encounter.
The Marine Corps is rolling out mandatory training for all Marines before the first future female rifleman hits boot camp, aiming to set conditions for a smooth transition and head off cultural resistance.
Mobile training teams will be dispatched to installations across the Corps throughout May and June to offer a two-day seminar to majors and lieutenant colonels, Col. Anne Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, told reporters Thursday. Those officers will then train the Marines under them.
Mobile training teams defined as modern day Soviet Zampolits, or political officers, who will travel the world in order to brainwash Marines that this catastrophe is doable and un-negotiable.
Topics include unconscious bias, which focuses on how people prejudge others based on factors such as race and gender, and principles of institutional change. The seminar will also walk officers through the elements of the Corps’ plan for opening ground combat jobs to women and include vignettes featuring challenges units might encounter.
Challenges may vary and include losing wars, getting a lot of young Marines killed and being the laughing stock of our enemies worldwide.
“You’re in the field, you only have this certain amount of space for billeting and you’ve got three women and six guys. How are you going to billet?” Weinberg said, describing a potential vignette. “Just some of these common sense things that these units probably haven’t had to deal with so that ground combat units haven’t had to deal with, but we’ve been dealing with in the rest of the Marine Corps for generations.”
Newsflash to Colonel Weinberg from the USMC Innovation Office, aka Berkeley Pentagon Detachment: there are no billets in the field REMF! Your billet is a piece of ground.
The Marine Corps rolled out a “commander’s tool kit” of optional online classes on similar topics in late 2014 as the service prepared for the possibility of an integration mandate.
USMC Commander’s Tool Kit in 2016 includes: pregnancy simulators, breast pumps, tactical lactation station overlays, red high heels and the proper procedure to set up a unisex latrine.
A Center for Naval Analyses survey of 54,000 Marines recently obtained by The Washington Post gives context to the need for training on cultural and institutional resistance as female Marines go infantry. The report found that a significant majority of male Marines at every rank opposed the decision to have women serve in ground combat jobs. The resistance was strongest among male junior officers in the ranks of captain and below, who opposed women in ground combat jobs at a rate of more than 72 percent. At least a third of female Marines at every rank were also opposed to the idea.
The troops have spoken. They know an impending cluster when they see one.
“There’s no doubt we’re leading cultural change. It’s not the first time for the Marine Corps, but we like a challenge,” said Brig. Gen. James Glynn, director of the Marine Corps’ office of communication. “The purpose of the mobile training team is to begin to facilitate the cultural change … you’ve got to have the conversation.”
This isn’t going to be a challenge, General Glynn, it’s going to be a genuine, Grade A debacle that will lead to disaster, destruction and defeat on the field of battle.
What’s in it for you General Glynn? What’s it worth now to sell out the greatest fighting force on the earth to a bunch of Marxist social engineers?
It’s more than obvious that the Marine Corps brass and the Pentagon could care less what ordinary Marines think. The average Marine, like the average soldier, airman and sailor is being abandoned by their senior officers who have the backbone of jellyfish.
Women are being shoved into the combat branches of the Marines, even though most of them want nothing to do with the infantry, armor, artillery, the Marine Raiders and Marine Recon.
Women are being shoved into the combat branches of the Marines, even though women went 0 for 26 last year at the Marine Infantry Officers’ Basic Course.
Women are being shoved into the combat branches of the Marines, even though all female units and coed units performed far worse during various combat simulations conducted by the Corps during a several month long, 36 million dollar study that was completely ignored and tossed out the window by Secretary of the Navy and all-around lackey, Ray Mabus.
Nothing matters to the social engineers: readiness doesn’t matter, combat power doesn’t matter, unit fighting spirit doesn’t matter; plummeting morale doesn’t matter.
Nothing matters except the implementation of this insanity, the Marine Corps be damned.
The Pentagon perfumed princes and princesses are very clever. They have put the burden of brainwashing a whole generation of Marines on the shoulders of Majors and Lieutenant-Colonels, the middle managers of the Marines, who usually have families and responsibilities and the fear of being tossed out of the Corps and out into the big, bad world of unemployed ObamaLand.
The middle management of the Marine Corps is malleable, unlike junior officers, many of whom have no desire to make the Marines a career and who would gladly tell Ray Mabus where he can stick his gender neutral nightmare Marine Corps.
A majority of the civilian social engineers and the military minions have never served a day near any shot and shell. They have no clue what it takes to storm the ash laden hills of Iwo Jima, to hit the beach at Tarawa, to cringe under machine gun fire at Hue, to race to the gates of Kuwait City, to fight shoulder to shoulder in Fallujah. They have no clue what it’s like to be dirty and tired and terrified and to know that the only thing keeping you going is the knowledge that the Marines around you are the toughest, roughest sons of bitches on the planet.
Well, no more…
Requiescat in Pace United States Marine Corps…
As for Weinberg, Glynn, Mabus and the rest of the moral cowards and Quislings, you are going down in history as modern day Benedict Arnolds who will be responsible not only for the death of the US Marine Corps, but for the deaths of future Marines in battle.
As for the Chairman of the JCS, General Joe Dunford, we’re about to send out a search party for you sir.
General Joe, this is US Defense Watch. Radio Check, over…
Not "even though."
BECAUSE.
Womyn are just as good as men, and it is sexist to pretend otherwise, right?
Ah, Grasshopper. You have achieved enlightenment. Women in combat is the means, Negating the mission (war) is the end. s/
Don't for an instant think the 0bama Regime doesn't know that.
Hah! I think the 0bama Regime would NOT get that ...
A friend told me the other day that the military now would fire on US citizens.
A “friend” said that? A “friend” is a credible source?
US troops are young men, not mindless idiots (democrats).
It is rare to find a democrat in the military, as they are dedicated patriots and other than an occasion mouth-breather, will/would never fire on American citizens.
Yes. He is credible.
Details?
“Sad huh?”
Not, expected.
There is no classified reason that prohibits you from openly stating which service he is in, or better, what study he conducted or read, as well as any experience with the military that would indicate he is a credible and informed source.
Of course, if you are saying you can’t tell because he IS so deeply buried in classified stuff, then he broke rules by telling you and you broke rules by telling us.
BTW, I have a “friend” that thinks you are making this up.
Just as credible as your “friend.”
Sad huh?
Time to let it go and move on, good day to you.
Period being the operative word.
That guy was the doctor, not the Zampolit who got his head smashed-in.
You’re entitled to your opinion.
This is not the military of 10 years ago. No, I am not making this up.
Good day to you, too.
military quandary....
HEY GENERAL
DO WE AIRLIFT THE TAMPONS OR THE AMMO...??????
Among the sheer number of females on the face of the earth, there is probably more than a few who could pass *any* of the training under the current male standards fair and square.
However, it’s clear that those females who are capable of cutting the mustard are a rarity; they clearly aren’t interested in doing it and, if they possess that level of physical capability, they are (so far) into something other than military service (professional athletes, olympic competitors, extreme sports, whatever).
It will be sickening to watch the civilian and military leadership perform all manner of rationalizing gymnastics to avoid stating the obvious: They must relax the standards until a politically correct percentage of female applicants can pass. And not just relaxed training standards — they will also likely have to threaten NJP (or worse) to prevent units who have unsat females forced upon them from placing the females in positions where they can cause the least negative impact to combat effectiveness. The PC crowd will force them to place them in positions of maximum risk to the unit’s CE.
No offense to females — there are plenty of males who can’t cut it in combat arms in each and every training cycle. There are a variety of honorable support positions where everyone can make a valuable contribution to overall mission success.
That paragraph applies to the Army as well. Had I been a "ring knocker" or had a family, I probably would have been motivated to keep my mouth shut more than I did.
I never considered myself more than an average officer, but I went to the mat for my soldiers.
I knew my career was over as a 1st LT with less than a year TIG. I was the Systems Maintenance Officer for my air defense battery, and the Group Cdr decided to "drop in" (it was over an hour from his HQ) on the Friday afternoon before our ARTEP. I was the only officer on site, so I took the opportunity to request a two week extension, because we needed that time to get our weapons systems to 75%. Otherwise, we'd flunk in the first hour.
As it turned out, we needed every minute of that extension. Of course, I received a horrible OER for my efforts. Funny though, the Group Cdr added his comments seeking to ameliorate the narrative. I saw him a few years later at Fort Bliss, when he was a BG and I was a Captain. I never had the chance to thank him for his leadership. He laughed and said, "my job was easy, you had the far more difficult path."
No regrets at all. I was ideally suited for that assignment. Due to our isolation (40 miles from Battalion HQ), being able to independently make a decision was necessary. Was I a "Sam Damon"? Doubtful, but I sure as heck wasn't an REMF like Courtney Massengale.
The Manchurian Candidate in action. The American public was warned.
U r right, thank you..!
Whoops...
