I agree: “Marine Corps infantry is no place for social experimentation, and pretending otherwise is a recipe for disaster.”

The purpose of the military is to break things and kill people.

ANY experimentation that does not increase the military’s ability to break things and kill people “is a recipe for disaster!”

Many examples come to mind, but I’ll leave it to my fellow FReeper Veterans to provide examples of the dumbass “social experimentation initiatives” certain misguided civilian politicians, bureaucrats and federal appointees to high office have imposed upon the military since WW II.

Now if we could just get other institutions to stick to their standards.

If you send a fireman to my house to rescue me, I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman, but I do care if he or she is strong enough to do the job. Similarly, I don’t care what race my surgeon is, but I don’t want to be operated on by an affirmative action doctor who got into medical school on lower standards. I don’t want to drive over bridges designed by engineers who got into engineering school on lower standards. And most of all, I don’t want to have someone in the WH who got there with a track record of Zero achievements, whose test scores and grades were so embarrassingly low they had to be put under lock and key.
