The US NAVY SEALs and the Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) recently changed their ethos and creed statements to reflect a gender neutral presentation of the elite NAVY outfits, doing away with gendered terms like "brotherhood".

Chicks ruin every cool thing guys have.
Once a month they’d be very effective.
The Seals no longer have my respect.
Woke is broke.
I saw that once on TV.
They were all smokin' hot.
And they had great kung fu and weaponry skills.
Too bad all the myopic dopes only care about keeping me out of womens’ sports.
How about keeping women out of combat roles for the safety and unit cohesion of the men?

Changing to what exactly? hisherhood, shehehood?
What difference would it make? The way men have allowed the feminists to walk all over them over the past forty years, they could be called Eunuchs now.
A penny for your thoughts.
I was hoping this was the Bablylon Bee.
Retired SEAL Eddie Gallagher drew attention to changed ethos statements in a Friday Instagram post. Gallagher shared a screenshot of an image showing an apparent August 3rd memo in which Rear Adm. Collin P. Green, the commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command, shown in the document as “C.P. Green,” signed off on the changes. Green said the changes were made “to better reflect our ranks now and into the future.”Gallagher, who was cleared last year of charges alleging he murdered an ISIS fighter in Syria, criticized the changes in his Friday Instagram post. Gallagher, who has since retired from the Navy, also criticized Green’s apparent role in the decision.
“What a joke,” Gallagher wrote. “Note the names that signed off at the bottom. Adm. Colin Green (part of the hierarchy that tried to use the system to put me away)~ let’s remove all male pronouns & BROTHERHOOD from the SEAL ethos.”
“To be honest I thought the ethos was always BS,” Gallagher added. “Now I know it is. A creed or ethos is supposed to be written in stone, obviously ours is not and will sway to whatever political agenda is being put out.”
The Navy maintenance ship USS Puget Sound (AD-38) was also known as USS Pubic Mound or Love Boat for the large number of female evacuees because pregnant.
Love Boat was also the Acadia.
On 5 September 1990 the ship departed San Diego for the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. She was responsible for the first reload of shipboard Tomahawk missiles outside the continental U.S. while pierside in Mina Jebel Ali. The reload recipient was John Paul Jones (DDG-53).
This was the first wartime deployment of a mixed male-female crew on a U.S. Navy combat vessel. Just over one third of her crew were women, which caused some controversy when during the course of the mission 1 in 10 of the female crew either became pregnant or discovered they already were.
