After reading the title of this article you may be thinking this is a Babylon Bee article but the answer is no.
A recent report commissioned by the Corps raises “concerns” over Marines using the terms “Sir” or “Ma’am” while addressing drill instructors due to Gender Neutrality worries.

Per the Marine Corps Times:
A new academic report on efforts to integrate Marine Corps boot camp recommends dropping gender-specific salutations for drill instructors, but service leaders are not convinced they want to take that step.
The lengthy report, commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020 and completed in 2022, points out that half of the military services already have done away with gendered identifiers for training staff.
“The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment,” the report states. “Instead of saying ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir,’ recruits in these Services refer to their drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by their last names. Gendered identifiers prime recruits to think about or visually search for a drill instructor’s gender first, before their rank or role.”
They’re going with “Yo, Dog!” now.
Wow. Just wow.
Wait, what? This isn't the Bee?
They need to go further and do like Stanford University is doing — forbid the use of “America” as too divisive. Maybe they could get rid of “United States” while they are at it.
What have they done to MY MARINE CORPS??????...........
The full assault is ongoing. No one is going to stop it
“Marine Corps Plans To Get Rid Of “Yes Sir” Over Gender Neutrality Concerns”
Why not? They already gottne rid of their testicles.
Boot camp is going to seem very weird from now on.
“Gendered identifiers prime recruits to think about or visually search for a drill instructor’s gender first, before their rank or role.”
No, immutable human biology primes recruits to do that.
So, when do Americans stand up and put a stop to this BS?
Well, there’s the problem.
“..What have they done to MY MARINE CORPS??????...........”
Well, I can tell ya that it ain’t the Marine Corps of your pappy and grandpappy.....
The high-heel, gay, lipstick transgenders of the fricken’ nuthouse are now in charge.
Oh good God.
See what I mean? DO NOT TRUST THE MILITARY!
Do not believe the Leftist garbage that they “loathe” the MIL. They only hate it when they don’t control it. By DEFINITION lefties are militaristic tyrants who will use the MIL to their full advantage, when they have it.
This is the least issue. Yet FRers keep thinking the MIL will save the country, or conservatism, never mind that even if that was true, it is very dangerous to go along with MIL taking over anything.
They’re also going to get rid of bullets as they may pose a threat to others.
They’d better get rid of “Semper Fi” too. They might be offending giants who say “Fee Fi Fo Fum.” They’ll also need to get rid of the terms “Hi-Fi” and “Wi-Fi” too.
Or "Aye, Senior Drill Instructor!"
“The full assault is ongoing. No one is going to stop it”
Agree.
