Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors No more “Yes, sir!”
The US Marines may ban recruits from respectfully addressing senior members as “sir” or “ma’am” to avoid “misgendering” and offending them.
The woke recommendation was made in a new $2 million report commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh.
The exhaustive, 738-page study that the Marines first commissioned in 2020 said traditional ways of addressing superiors were holding back gender integration.
“Employing gender-neutral identifiers eliminates the possibility of misgendering drill instructors, which can unintentionally offend or cause discord,” the study said.
“By teaching recruits to use gender-neutral identifiers for their drill instructors, Services underscore the importance of respecting authoritative figures regardless of gender.”
The two-year study by the University of Pittsburgh’s Warrior Human Performance Research Center also said that “the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment.”
“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,” it said.

I’ll salute any Marine. However, since a mentally challenged person who insists on silly made up pronouns is NOT a Marine, no reason to salute them...execpt with a certain finger.
It’s disappointing where the military is going.
How long before we have drag queens acting as drill instructors?
“Maggot” is sort of neutral.
I’ve always loved the U.S. Military. Now, I feel sorry for any America-loving, normal person who is drawn into it. The damn military is worse than the corrupt FBI. America is shutting down for good. Now, it’s just another below the border sh*thole.
Who are the commie pinko fags now? I’m am ashamed to even ask.
I feel like I am stuck in the middle of an episode of the Twilight Zone in the middle of a SNL script. God Help Us!
Ha! Reminds me of a funny incident in the 90s. Walking to the PX on Benjamin Franklin Village, Germany. Saluted and said Good Moring Sir to a six foot, very butch LTC female in uniform. Didn’t realize it until I had passed her and she never called me on it. I guess she probably got that a lot. lol
You shouldn't. Most of them work for a living.
I used to like the term “BAM”.
We lost the military in 2009 under Obama. After that, the faggots owned the military.
Sh*tbird too

You’re not alone. Geez. Imagine what our WW2 and Korean War vets are thinking after reading that.
This is the future of the military. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxs3gmewuhI
From an ex-Army guy point of view this makes sense.
When looking at a Marine it is often difficult to determine its gender. ;-)
I remember that one well....
“Numb nuts” Drill Instructor.
