Navy losing sailors and SEALs over emphasis on social issues
www.allenbwest.com ^ | 4/28/14 | Allen West

Hate to say “I told you so” but President Obama’s disinterest in enhancing our combat capability in favor of social egalitarianism and a warped sense of social justice is indeed having an impact on war readiness.

According to the Washington Times, “A Navy F-18 fighter pilot and former Top Gun instructor is publicly warning admirals that retention is beginning to suffer from the military’s relentless social conditioning programs. Cmdr. Guy Snodgrass said sailors are becoming fed-up with the constant emphasis on social issues — an apparent reference to gays in the military, women in combat and ending sexual harassment.”

It takes a strong stomach not to puke after looking at the top picture.

The military took a sharp turn for the worse when the liberals replaced “No Man Left Behind” with
“No Man’s Behind Left Alone.”

What the left is doing to our military is an outrage.

Liberalism: Being perfectly fine with Destroying and losing everything, as long as you . . . .

. . . . can force normal people to accept your filthy sodomite practice with silence.

Get outta my face, homo's!

Keep it in the closet.

No, I don't hate YOU, but I am highly offended by your demand that I accept your lifestyle as NORMAL!

The military exists to protect us... it's not a social experiment in being 'liberal elite'.

What's going to happen if the United States is attacked and the politically correct are required to fight? Are they up to it if experience soldiers have left?

So says our elected representatives and appointed officials from both parties. The United States hasn't had a decent Sec of Defense since the Reagan years. Sec of Defense became a political rewards position for either contractor/donor shills or liberal idealist.

A friend of mine said just the other day that he feels pretty lucky that he served primarily under Reagan. He says they were put on alert a couple of times but there were no big deployments while Reagan was in the White House. He did end up in Riyadh for a few months when Bush Sr took over but no nation building games.

W's biggest mistake was Rummy. He was pathetic under Ford and tried to bring his same nonsense back into policy including the if you don't wanna be in just leave policy. Of course back then in Rummy 1 all you had to do was walk off 31 days and turn yourself in somewhere else. That was a major discipline and morale breaker that carried over into about the mid Carter term. IIRC it got stopped and if you walked it was bad time tacked on to the end of your EAOS.

Totally agree...
It’s like the stupid “Army of One” campaign.
I honestly think, over the last decade or two, the senior brass have completely lost their collective minds, gone over to the dark side and sold our military down the river.....

I, for one, am THRILLED our military is being turned into a liberal paradise as I fully expect it to be turned don We the People and I do not want it to be an effective fighting force when it does.

in actions that are ongoing, the Obamanation has determinedly purged the real patriots among the generals and admirals, the ones who view their primary role as leading in the defense of America

Homosexual Agenda and Moral Absolutes Ping!

Freepmail Responsibility2nd or little jeremiah to subscribe or unsubscribe from the homosexual agenda or moral absolutes ping list.

So 0bastard and his handlers knew exactly what they were doing when they forced perverts into the military. Stuff the military with "out and proud" perverts, put unqualified females in positions of authority (or on the front lines of combat), and then beat the normal men and women over the head constantly with vile propaganda designed to insult their morals, religious beliefs and intelligence - it's a recipe for distaster. Destroy the military, drive good men out. No dictator worth his salt can stay in power without the backing of the military. Hopefully this (the coup) will be resolved before the military is destroyed.

Since we’re likely to be fighting Muslims, at least we know our troops won’t be surrendering.

Why wouldn’t they surrender to Moslems? The “Commmander in Chief” is a Moslem. And Moslem countries, at least the Arab ones, are larded with homosexuals, they just pretend they aren’t.

Bring back sexual harassment?

I noticed that, too. He probably means the small stuff, like not telling women they look good, or whistling at them, appearing to favor straights over lezzies or the reverse, etc. I don't think West is in favor of rape.
