The word 'man' is being taken out of 19 job titles with the United States Marine Corps, it was reported this week. The news comes months after Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military in December to open all military jobs to women 
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus called in January for a review of Navy and Marine titles. 
Mabus has said that he wants titles that more accurately convey who is doing the job and what the job is. 
He has said: 'In the overall scheme, it's a small thing, but I think it's important because it's what sailors and Marines call each other, and words do matter'

    What is the WORD for a man or woman or indeterminate
who arms al Qaeda to murder Americans?
or for a Marine who permits another unvetted crimnal
to arm al Qaeda and murder Americans,
and import incurable tuberculosis to all schools?
Want to buy a vowel?

    man, manhood, is an archetype. So either the one changing the term is an incompetent illiterate buffoon, or he is a feminizer of our military.

    At this point it’s a race between the end of Obama’s term and the transition of the military into The Village People combined with The Indigo Girls.

    There used to be lots of discussion about when the “Old Corps” ended - usually it was when we stopped using particular weapons like the ‘03 Springfield or the last war.
But now we have a new marker: the Old Corps was when we still had men in our names and actual men leading.

    The Pussyfacation of America goes on! Sad.
 
To: HomerBohn; All
    Question please.
 Can all of this military LGBT nonsense be reversed with the right people in office? Or is it a situation where once something is in the manual or military code of justice it is almost impossible to remove?

    Mabus has said that he wants titles that more accurately convey who is doing the job and what the job is. 
I was a "field artilleryman" and now that MOS is going to be called "field artillery Marine."
    How does that new description convey who is doing the job?
It doesn't. It's just more liberal PC bull$hit.
