As an ROTC comissionee we used to have a joke:
Q: How does a West Pointer fake an orgasm?
A: He spits on his roommate’s back.
Guess it’s no longer a joke :-/
Pick a date pre 1965. Preferably 1945. Take THAT handbook/ rules and regulations list and reissue it word for word for 2019. Start the culture over from that point.
In the world of spell check and auto correct, "abated" would not be picked up but, any editor should know the senior leaders are abetting the decline.
Too true, but it ain’t just the Army. It’s all the services and everyone in leadership. Trump surprised everyone with him tranny tweet, but apparently some federal judge usurped the position of C-I-C when no-one was looking. If “mad dog” was half the warrior he is reputed, he’d have had the judge in irons and half the Pentagon in Leavenworth. How many warriors must be sacrificed on the altar of Political Correctness before the madness ceases?
It's your weird Uncle Ernie's army.

Retiring this spring after 32 years enlisted and officer.
After my tolerance for PC bovine excrement reached critical mass, (highlighted by the requirement to attend transgender assimilation briefings......AT SOCOM), my response was “Stop the Army. I’d like to get off”.
Even in the hardest corners, it’s not my Army anymore.

And Trump does not lift a finger to even slap down Lap Dog Mattis when he countermands Trump’s cross dresser order. This is my biggest complaint with Trump, he talked a strong military but has not done a damned thing to return war fighting ability to the ranks. The Army is a disgusting, decayed, shell of its former self even at the time of Desert Storm and NO ONE is trying to fix it. (Retired Army Officer)
It’s coming out of the universities with officers and has been for a long time. It’s an elite thing.

Old hat. Happened already during Desert Storm or therabouts. A bunch of girls were tasked with setting up the tents...and they couldn’t do it. The men had to knock off what they were doing to set up the tents.
I just want to puke everytime that I hear about crap like like this. Thank the Lord that I was able to retire before these abhorrent practices became the norm.

Not saying we should go back to all that, but, oh boy, things have sure changed.
I'm proud and happy that I served in the Army, (1969-72+), long before this PC crap hit.
Thanks for not posting the articles picture......BARF!
These “thousand cuts” are better identified by another phrase: “Aid and comfort to the enemy.”
It is time to name the names of military officers who have willingly given that aid and comfort to the enemy.
Of course, the Navy’s recent circus shows they are even further down the tubes. The Air Force, well “what difference does it make?” My Marine Corps is certainly being pressured.
No, they weren't. They engaged in at perverted mockery of a marriage, and nobody in the Army or its civilian leadership had the guts to condemn it ... or them.
