All Marines to Get 'Unconscious Bias' Training as Women Join Infantry

Marines across the Corps will be challenged on their unconscious prejudices and presuppositions as women get the opportunity to become grunts for the first time. The Marine Corps is rolling out mandatory training for all Marines before the first future female rifleman hits boot camp, aiming to set conditions for a smooth transition and head off cultural resistance. Mobile training teams will be dispatched to installations across the Corps throughout May and June to offer a two-day seminar to majors and lieutenant colonels, Col. Anne Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, told reporters Thursday. Those officers will then train the Marines under them.

Thought control commissars, I suspect at this rate it will not be to long before they put commissars into units. This will no doubt enhance military readiness and effectiveness. The military is being slowly eviserated before our eyes.

Those images make me want to vomit.
(Except for G.I. Joe).

The problem is our enemies know we’ve entered a phase of national insanity and will take advantage of us. And when one theater erupts, 2 or 3 others will ignite, their rulers correctly figuring that the vastly weakened US military can barely handle one theater, if that. That is when the others will detonate, to pig pile us.

[Travis McGee]

Me too. Pathetic. And the cultural-Marxists are just getting warmed up.

If they pay me to attend this type of crap I will come loaded with lots of questions! Drag it out and make the presenter as uncomfortable as possible.

Gee, one can see what happens when boats like the Red October lose their political officer! So, we will probably need at least two in each unit.

In an apparently unrelated development, sales of tea at the exchange skyrocket for no known reason.

That should get rid of the sexist beliefs that:
- most women are shorter and lighter than most men at the same level of fitness,
- the vast majority of women have far less muscle mass and upper-body strength than equally fit men of the same age, and
- women are less capable of running while carrying an injured Marine and his gear than men are.

If I’m ever in a trench with Marines I want the most diverse group possible, not some all-male group chosen just for their combat readiness. Isn’t that what we all want when our lives depend on winning?

how's this then, consciously make them pull their own weight with no help

[Chode]

100% no slack

[Twinkie]

When do they have any time left over for the wine & cheese
tastings?

[Jack Hammer]

We already have Political Officers, and now they’re doing everything they can manage to destroy the Corps.

It’s absolutely damnable.

The training will be conducted by unconscious trainers following the will of unconscious morons.

[Joe Brower]

With every passing day, I thank the Lord above that I served before the military devolved into a lost-cause social-engineering program.

All we had to contend with then was shoddy, worn-out equipment. Now, it's the personnel themselves who are defective, and it's BY DESIGN. I'll take the former over the latter any day.

In other words, ignore the reality of what you see and just believe what we tell you, that women physically can do the same things that you can.

"unconscious bias"

Something that only white males have. It is well known that there really are no differences between men and women in their physical abilities, but somehow even though there are no differences, that women have no prejudices against men.

Article 1 Section 8 Clause 14 of the Constitution: Did Congress ever vote on this?

Oooo Rah!

[Travis McGee]

Amen brother. I’d rather take worn out VN era gear than today’s pers. policies.
