Demosey was the worst Joint Chief of Staff in my lifetime. He should be proud of destroying the fiercest fighting machine in the world.

Dunford publicly opposed putting women in Marine ground combat units. He was overruled by SecNav and SecDef.

The other Service Chiefs, unlike the Commandant, did not even request an exemption from that order. THE knuckled under without a word of dissent.

The Marines are going to continue opposing this by taking literally the claim that standards should not be lowered. Not a single woman has passed the Infantry Officer's course, and barely a handful the enlisted infantry course.

Dunford just took over, and perhaps a Republican President will reverse that order. Otherwise, the point at which you will see resignations from the Corps is when they are ordered to lower standards. That hasn't happened yet.

The Russians (who have good reason to know!) say a fish rots from the head first. These guys were picked by Obama precisely for their rotten qualities. Just another wound out of countless others inflicted upon this nation, few of which are known to us as of yet.

I going to take a different tack here, flame away as required.

I know we think of these guys as “perfumed princes” and I suppose that some (many) are, but all of them volunteered, took the oath, most probably graduated from the Academies, and many probably served in combat.

And the top of the chain of command is the Keyan Klown. They have to obey orders or end their careers. How many of you (myself included) could quit a 6 figure income, healthcare and retirement and put your family through that?

I don’t know if I could. I’m not in the line of fire that these guys are.

No.

If they were going to, they would have already done it.

Seeing those pictures, our enemies must be laughing.

Our veterans are probably either crying or angry or both.

Happened a long time ago.

This goes on with a Democrat Administration.

The generals and admirals play along because they are worried that if they don’t the Democrats “will gut their service’s budget”.

Big news flash.....they do anyway.

They all should have resigned when Clinton was impeached for lying.

“We cannot support a Commander In Chief who is a convicted liar.”

They all just stood there with their thumbs up their donkeys.

And the top of the chain of command is the Keyan Klown. They have to obey orders or end their careers.

The problem with that logic is that before the final order was even issued, each branch of the service was given the opportunity to state whether they were opposed to the change, and to submit evidence in support of why they should not be orders to integrate certain MOS's.

Had the Service Chiefs all done so, and presented a united front in opposition to it - as they were all permitted to do - it would have been much more difficult to overrule all of them, and might have rallied support in Congress.

Instead, the Commandant of the Marine Corps was the only one to object and put in writing why. He was the lone hold out, and easily overruled as such.

So the point is that the rest of them knuckled under even before the Order was actually issued. Completely disgraceful.

General Joe said nothing as Ray Mabus ordered the military to rewrite its manuals and acronym dictionaries with gender neutral terms.

Please tell me this did not happen.

The generals and admirals are now nothing but old farts in big hats fawning over Dear Leader. We are becoming Norkland.

Isn’t there something about Dempsey secretly being homosexual? That would explain alot. Especially the red high heels.

The greatest threat to a real man is being betrayed. It breaks them down and that is the goal of this administration. The head of the executive branch and the co-conspirators in step behind him are following Wright’s (and the kohmeini’s) orders to destroy America.

Pray for our patriots, especially the youngest branch, the Marines. Join the ping list at “Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation”

This pathetic antiAmerican magic negro first removed any military person with a set of balls who may stand up for our constitution.
He then instilled bobble headed liberal dumb ass kissers in our military
then he pushed his social engineering bull shit on our military to degrade it.
F-ing mooselimb
