The Military’s Mission is National Security, Not 'Equality'
American Thinker ^ | 15 Mar, 2021 | Steve Feinstein

The security of our country is no place for woke social experimentation.

President Biden—or whoever is making the actual policy decisions for the country these days—is damaging the national security of the United States by allowing women and transgenders to assume an ever-increasing role in front-line combat operations. “Biden’s” policy weakens our military preparedness by putting misplaced considerations of gender neutrality and political correctness ahead of the best military strategy for protecting American interests.

At a rambling and largely incoherent speech on Monday, March 8, where he forgot the name of his Secretary of Defense and referred to the Pentagon as “that outfit,” Biden made the following bizarre statement:

You know, some of — some of it is relatively straightforward work where we’re making good progress designing body armor that fits women properly; tailoring combat uniforms for women; creating maternity flight suits; updating — updating requirements for their hairstyles.

No one had ever asked the current administration when “maternity flight suits” or “updated hairstyles”—whatever that means—would be ready for women in the military, but our ersatz president volunteered the information anyway, much to the total confusion of the audience at hand.

When are they going to start making transgender aircraft and ships? And where are the flight suits for pregnant male pilots?

There. Fixed it. (But too late for some military leaders.)

To be sure, the military has some uniform equality aspects of it, but, yes, the military is about hierarchy, not a fraternity of people.

They are turning the military into a schizo random dog pack with race and gender cliques.

The top brass are trying to insulate themselves from the inevitable massive cuts to the military that Congress and the Biden Administration are proposing. The ones who are woke will be allowed to stay, those who are silent will be swept away with the waves during the cuts. These cuts will significantly decrease our ability to fight worldwide and will be dangerous, possibly to 1930’s levels of readiness.

The author of the article should expect some snarky commenting from US military leadership on official military social media accounts because “equity” or something.

There is no equality. There are only various stages of inequality.

The military has turned it’s back on the country. The people who support it are now the enemy.

The military are the only thing keeping this country alive at the moment. They are doing it quietly but soon it will become very evident. You are still watching the MSM I see. Turn it off.

This will not stop until we address the mythology of Feminism that there are no differences between men and women, and that it is unjust to treat them differently. Our differences are real and come from God. We need to be unapologetic and loudly proclaim: Women have no place in the military. This includes the “rear area support.” The entire force is a fighting force and women are unsuited to it.

My experience with women in the military:

A senior E-6 paints the lines in the parking lot because the paint fumes made the 3 females, E-3 to E-5, nauseous.

Two E-6 personnel are about to get discharged, both refusing to sign extensions they had agreed to for a PCS move. The male gets an RE-4 reenlistment code, the female gets an RE-3P. She got pregnant just before the deadline for signing the extension. She told me she planned it.

I was a recruiter for 16 years, 4 active duty and 12 reserve. In recruiting there was production and support. Production was under a great deal of pressure to make goals and worked as long as it took to do it. Support people worked 8-5 five days a week. I had to work for a female who had made chief working in support. She had never been a production recruiter, and was an obvious equal opportunity advancement.

The command master chief walks into a meeting of Recruiters in Charge, the senior enlisted of each recruiting office, and announces that there aren’t enough women in the meeting, despite the fact that we had almost no female recruiters from which to promote to RINC. Women did not want to be production recruiters. It was hard.

We were a female heavy command, and I, uh, um, “dated” 6 or 7 of them so there was that.

Someone said it better, that the purpose of the U.S. military is “To break things and kill people.” Very succinct.

For years I have advocated the creating of a US Foreign Legion, for the express purpose of carrying out other missions, from disaster relief to extended peacekeeping dutiess. Mostly because of expense, as the U.S. military is a *premium* force with a very high price tag to do most anything, so should not be used for low intensity purposes.

The French long ago figured out the rules for a foreign legion, that they must have regular military officers, that they be garrisoned outside the nation, and that their transport must be provided by the regular military.

Under such circumstances, the U.S. could recruit the best and brightest of foreign nationals, so as not to expend American blood whenever some president decides to have a “vanity” deployment, far too frequent in this day and age.

I have supported the idea that female nurses, alone should be in forward combat areas as part of the medical corps. That idea is somewhat traditional.

I have never supported women in combat. It is a fundamental American ideal, that we do not put women on the front lines in battle. There are those who seek to erase tradition, and fundamental values as a means to destroy our Republic.

They are enjoying far too much success in my opinion. If we are unable to stem the tide the Republic will not stand. I cannot visualize where those minds and hearts full of treason and hate, want to take us, but it isn’t where I want to be.

I will grant the exception to nurses (and doctors). These are auxiliaries to the military and not part of the fighting force. This has been long understood.

Some how I don’t see it. Maybe we need another force to protect our military. Sure looks that way.

Can’t even holler at recruits anymore. It hurts their feelings.
