The Army got a stern warning from a Defense Department representative recently. Avoid the word

[353FMG]

These same political officers, when caught by the Germans, were summarily executed.

In WWI they even had a Christmas truce for a day or two. How far we have fallen in a century.

Soldiers on every side, even the Russians, were predominately Christians then, except for the Turks and Japanese (yes, Japan was on our side in WWI) but now?

[darkangel82]

Now, I don’t know. I don’t trust the Russians but I have heard of the comeback of the Orthodox churches there.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Before the Bolshevik revolution probably 96% of Russia was orthodox.

I remember a history discussion I had with some classmates in college where I wondered what it would have been like if that truce had been permanent.

[Venturer]

Sounds like a good idea.

So far Christmas is still a US government paid holiday.

But in the military we have to worry about offending the gay troops.

An equal opportunity officer...

AKA, "The guy Patton would have slapped." :)

I have wondered if some of this is regional, here and there, maybe blue states, and depending on the pc pedigree of those in charge. In other words, it’s not across the board, is it?

It stops when Christians stop complying, cooperating, found willing to take consequences. Otherwise, WE are part of the problem, not the solution.

Merry Christmas to you. Rita

Ground temperature the only cure...

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

I wonder whether the real intent is to get all decent people to quit or not join so that the army ends up with the worst of the worst....an army that would shoot grandma as soon as it would shoot a terrorist.

This could very well be true, but, as with all things leftist, the outcome will not be what they expect. A military full of the kind of sh**bags that will remain, won't be much of a formidable force, even with the tech.
