...take a pledge to inclusivity and self-reflection.

Chinese thugs would be so proud Maoism has spread to the US Navy...

My intersectionality is “rum, sodomy and the lash”. Is the Navy OK with that?

I’m especially worried about the “rum” part. I figure the other two are gimmes.

“Now I guess those US navy guys that cried when they were captured by the Iranian navy are the new role models for navy personnel now.”

Geez, I remember seeing that: I was mortified that our troops behaved so wimpishly.

Well, that explains this article:

But of course, we cannot work with those navies unless they accept our I&D code.

“I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy.”

No one wants to say it, but I think we all know what this means and why Biden insists it be included.


Does this mean that HumpHer Biden is reinstated with back pay and promoted to a two star Admiral rank?

Does it mean if one is an alcoholic or drug addict, that is their mainstream life, and they can stay in the Navy with full pay.

Rum, sodomy and the lash. No longer hidden, but mandatory.

I pledge to get as near to right as I can by my God.

Anyone demanding that un-American illegal purely political PC pledge of me would be told specifically and categorically to go to hell. I can’t even imagine anyone short of a leftist fellow traveler repeating anything this grotesque.

Did DoD do this with the Army?

This woke crap is going to nothing more than get people killed. Life at sea is harsh enough already...taking invaluable time away from training for war will make sailors, and the military in general, less ready for war when it comes.

Oh...and a lot of good people won’t tolerate this nonsense and leave the service, further concentrating the stupid.

As I was scrolling down, the word that came to my mind was indeed yours, “sickening”. However, there’s no telling how assiduously all of what’s delineated here will actually be implemented. Or HOW it will be implemented. On one level all this moral scolding and official virtue-signalling could be something the average sailor could tell himself he already does, on another level ALL members of the rank and file Armed Services are in the worst position possible. ALREADY in a hierarchy which USED to be an opportunity to prove excellence and commitment now is being twisted into something else. And what more captive an audience could there be than the rank and file/ All this “vetting” to weed out any possible difference of opinion politically is possibly the scariest development and tendency of ALL I have seen proposed.These men are being told that their having a job at all (in an economy which may not get on its feet ever, with Dems in power) depends entirely on toeing the New Army’s line. And it’s entirely political, it has nothing to do with violating any traditional Military rules.

The logical outcome/result of two decades of the Navy’s purposely engineered decline in morals, missions, and skills...

With our carrier making a Harris-Biden ordered “intersectional identity” retreat back to friendlier waters, Iran’s navy rules the Persian Gulf & the Gulf of Oman...

China will paint all its warships “life’s-experiences” pink and declare an “intersectional identity” victory in the South China Sea...

Thanks to our new communist rulers, the life’s experiences of naval heroes like those of the 5,000 American sailors still residing in Iron Bottom Sound or the 80-days in the waters around Okinawa where about 20,000 sailors lost their lives are no longer are significant...

Yep, the new navy is on the march some in high heels and others in long hired wigs, simpering along to beat of a very different drummer.

“I will invest the time, attention and empathy required to analyze and evaluate Navywide issues related to racism, sexism, ableism...”


‘ableism’? Is the Navy now accepting recruits who are blind, deaf, or in wheelchairs?

I spent 20 years in the Navy from 78-98. Affirmative Action for black African Americans, and a few years later females, was going full speed ahead the whole time I was in. It’s never enough. After 40 years they are still not satisfied.
