Semper Fi - and two-toned nail polish

Launched by Russia, a war rages in the Ukraine. North Korea is firing off missiles again. China looms ominously over Taiwan. What is the US military doing? Fighting to be totally woke.

Back in December the Air Force announced it was going all in for pronouns

The Department of the Air Force this week said it was now allowing individual members of the military to list the pronouns they wanted to be known by — including he/him, she/her and they/them — in the “signature block” that also includes the poster’s name, rank, service affiliation, social media contacts and other personal information on emails and social media posts.
This month the Army dove into wokeness headfirst.
While Russia wages a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. Army is putting its soldiers through training on gender pronouns and coaching officers on when to offer soldiers gender transition surgery, according to an official military presentation on the subject obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The mandatory presentation, "Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria," was given to officers earlier this month along with instructions for them to train their subordinates on the material. Portions of the presentation were provided to the Free Beacon by a whistleblower who was ordered to undergo the training as a high-ranking officer in the Army Special Forces.

An Army spokesman confirmed to the Free Beacon that the slides in question are part of "mandatory training" and come from an official program "used to train Army personnel on the recent changes to the DoD and Army transgender service policy." All Army personnel, from soldiers to commanders and supervisors, are required to participate in the training by Sept. 30, 2022, according to the spokesman.

The Army officially recognizes that biologic men are stronger than biologic women and is lowering standards to accommodate that fact:

As the world braces for a potential WWIII, the U.S. Army is lowering its fitness standards to be 'more inclusive'.

The Army is changing several of its fitness test exercises - including the dreaded leg tucks - in favor of planks because about half of all female soldiers were unable to complete the exercise.

The new Army Combat Fitness Test, ACFT, which is comprised of six exercises, also slashes the number of push-ups from 30 to 10, reduces the power throw distance by two-thirds and gives more time to finish the two-mile run.

A gender-neutral test was proposed but it did not fare well:

Under Donald Trump, a tough gender-neutral ACFT test was suggested but a trial found 70 per cent of women failed, compared to 16 percent of men.

The most difficult part of the exam was the leg tuck event, which saw a staggering 72 percent of women fail. In some cases, women have been required to perform the move just six months after giving birth.

The tougher test was due to be introduced in 2020 but was eventually abandoned to be more inclusive to women.

There was a time that standards existed for a reason. No more, it seems. Now it's come to this:

The US Marine Corps will allow service members to wear longer hair, two-tone nail polish and black socks with their combat utility uniform as part of a push for more 'diversity' and 'inclusion.'

The military branch unveiled the changes on Wednesday, after they were approved by a Marine Corps uniform board last month.

As part of the update, Marines will be permitted to grow the 'bulk of their hair' up to three inches - an increase from the current two inches - meaning that they could have thicker hair.

This was received poorly

Why would any sane person enlist today with the way things have become? Surely, not for the GI Bill benefits. One can just take out a school loan for several thousands of dollars and uncle pedoJoe will just pay it off for you anyway.
I wonder how they’re doing on their enlistment quotas? They’re probably in the sewer with the rest of the woke BS.

Probably won't be long before the Marines replace the current "combat utility uniform" with skirts and/or kilts, as part of a new "combat diversity inclusi-form"...

Why would anyone do anything today with all the wokeness around.

Now is the time to inoculate individuals with our heritage and put them in such positions.

Even the WH requests your pronouns on their online form. I had a pollster from CDC call and ask me to choose from the following pronouns and began to read a mile long list.

Another question: Why would anyone want to fight and die for Joe Biden’s America—an America the people in power, the Citizens of the World Oligarchs hate and revile the way Aristocrats hates the peasants? The old America is dead and gone— I have found that within every culture there is the seeds of its own destruction. The pleasure driven Romans became too weak to keep out the barbarians that destroyed them, The Egyptian love of their culture prevented change and they grew unable to keep up with the new innovations of other lands—etc... Our love of freedom and desire to help all victims is now weaponized to strip us of our human rights and the very freedom we hold dear. We have the trappings of freedom—but not the reality.

They/them as pronouns means more than one person. Unless the person is schizophrenic, there would be no reason to address an individual as they/them.

That’s good. I hope they make sure our enemies will make similar concessions because women can’t match men in physical strength.

The revolution needs to happen here. I will not support this Soviet Government under any circumstances. Our leadership is awful at all levels of Government. We will all pay for this in ways we could never imagine.

We should honor what the military used to be, not this woke joke it has become.
