A couple of us have been writing about this eunuchification of the US military (i.e. castration by machete) for years here at FR. I’m glad that Starmann was able to rant and name names for our readers to see who the PC Cowards, Career Cowards and Obama asskissers are/were.
If there was no other reason to elect Trumph, it would be to clean up the pansies in DOD and put in real fighters. That is why the Clintonistas fear Gen. Michael Flynn so much. He won’t put up with this crap. Might even start recruiting firing squads for traitors and cowards.
John Bolton as Sec. of State? He’s clean out the SD and the UN with a flamethrower. Like it!
Remember to Vote (if in Chicago, often) in November.

There are more to blame:
1) Congress confirmed the appointments of the cabinet secretaries and the general officers.
2) The Commander in Chief who made the appointments and sent them to Congress for confirmation was elected twice by the American people.
The American people had the opportunity to choose twice. The consequences are the result of the choice.
Consider:
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” (Edmund Burke)
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
“A Republic must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty.” (John Witherspoon)
“Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.” (Frederick Douglass)
“If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” (Samuel Adams)
“What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” (Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Colonel Smith, November 13, 1787.)

Forget the leaders. Why didn’t the men in the heels and pregNancy simulators tell them to GO TO HELL?. There’s your problem.
Because they have been raised to not standup for themselves.

Please give credit where credit is due. The social experimentation began in the 90’s under the reign of the co-Presidents Klintoon especially Herself. As I recall, the first move was an effort to make combat forces co-ed so as to accelerate promotional opportunities for the meaner sex.

Twenty years back I ran across a Special Forces newsletter online called The Resister, but haven't seen any new ones since. They wouldn't have liked this crap, either.

I am a very proud 11C1P who served under the great Ronald Reagan. Back then I hoped as I got older I would have a son who would also follow his previous generations and serve this great country that has served us so well.
Today I have that son, although only 13 years old. Would I let him enlist today hell #### no.
That saddens me to my core.

To: LibWhacker
What happened to those men? Men who would fight back? Just a guess but I'd say it has something to do with all the field grade officers (0-4 thru 0-6) getting canned for things like "loss of command confidence" and some of the more nebulous infractions of the political-Left's orthodoxies. We all know what the carrot is... promotion. But Obama's Pentagon has been making liberal use of the stick... early separation from the service.

The Obama administration kicked out General Carter Ham and a black admiral, I think, who wanted to go rescue those trapped in Benghazi.
Many military officers have resigned commissions in protest, and Obama uses it as an opportunity to promote more compliant people or doesn’t fill the positions and calls it cutting the military.
With regard to defense contractors, they’ve been pushed since 2008 to meet far left political metrics to get federal contracts. It is better to implement social engineering of the workforce than engineer a better jet or build a cheaper missile. So Lockheed Martin, Northrup Gruman, Raytheon and Boeing were racing to get a perfect score on the Out and Equal Index to get preference for contract awards before same sex marriage was legal. And they go even further left and enforce it through various HR policies in order to gain political favor and favorable PR with a fawning, equally left press.

I found myself trying to dissuade a young man from joining the military, suggested the Texas State Guard instead, because he was devout Christian.

It’s taken a long time to accept what has happened to my beloved US
Navy. My ship, USS Comstock, was one of the first to accept women on
a combat ship. Im proud to say I served on that ship with an all male crew.
We were a well oiled machine and we were all proud of it. I use to worry
about what was happening but my wife convinced me to let go. It was
slowly killing me. Little lowly ol me can’t do a damn thing about the slow
methodical march of political correctness.

You're spot on;
Our entire government is infiltrated with Muslims from the top to the bottom and you have the balls to ask someone to attempt to sneak by the authority and powers of these people!
The infiltration is because civilian voters control the military. These civilians are not worth dying for!
I wish I had an answer. Not bragging, but I'm considered pretty smart and I haven't a clue other than working to elect Trump and the rest of the GOP.
I devote part of every working day working on the election. I spend the sabbath with my family and do a little flying to keep my skills sharp.

Exactly. It sucks, but the refusals have to start somewhere. If someone orders a man to put on that ridiculous pregnancy simulator, he should said “no way....sir”. Sometimes, mutiny is legitimate.
Imagine giving that order to a Marine circa 1945. Imagine the Soldiers in Hurtgen forest being given that order. Imagine a sailor on the USS Franklin or Forrestal being given that order. A shavetail would have lost some teeth.

That saddens me to my core.Me too FRiend.
My son was to carry on the proud tradition set by my Dad in WWI, carried on by me in Vietnam.
He did Jr. High and High School JROTC and wanted to go on to the ROTC program at Oregon State University.
We had a long talk. He cried and so did I.
Never 0bama's Military!
Only in time of war when America needs more patriots!

this has been predictable..very predictable...
the wages in the military used to be very low, but that has all changed...study after study shows that for any similar job in the private sector, the military version pays more, has better sick leave, vacation, housing assistance and then that great big pension...
yes, some military are in danger zones...but lets be honest...MOST are not...
so what happens is that people that have absolutely no qualifications to be in the military stay in the military for the benefits and pensions...
so what we have is basically mercenaries...
and mercenaries simply follow orders so they can collect...
