Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors

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.

It’s China. While we were asleep they spent the past 50 years taking us over in every nook and cranny through bribery and infiltration. Talk to any Chinese citizen who escaped and became a US citizen, they will tell you what the left is doing today is exactly what the Chinese government does. The gallows need to swing for every traitor involved in this, but the problem is they now also control law enforcement and our justice system.

From an ex-Army guy point of view this makes sense. When looking at a Marine it is often difficult to determine its gender. ;-)

As a former Marine myself, I'll admit that's true. The men and the women can both look like men.

But the same confusion applies to the Army, except that both the men and the women look like women.

;)

“How tall are you, private?”

“Five foot nine, sir!”

“Five foot nine? I didn’t know they stacked sh!t that high.”

Orders will soon become kind suggestions.

Drill Sgt: Recruit, please clean the latrine, pretty please with sugar on top.

Recruit: Yes, Sgt. Bruce. Right after I paint my nails.

Folks this is fake news, it has not happened. IT is a strategy that has worked time and time again.

IT stops when we stop it.

This country is in big trouble. The adults at some point have to take over. This is insane.

drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by their last names,
= = =

So “Sir - Yes - Sir” becomes:

Master Gunnery Sergeant Ronal Lee Ermey - Yes - Master Gunnery Sergeant Ronal Lee Ermey

That’s going to go over really, really good.

Have the perverts and trannies destroyed the Merchant Marines yet? If not don’t tell the trannies they exist.

We lost the military in 2009 under Obama. After that, the faggots owned the military.

That's when the Obama administration purged the Officer ranks of Americans and replaced them with Woke Libtards.

Now that a Marine will be ordered to embrace, and worse, believe this tranny nonsense, they will embrace orders to fire on we civilians. Pains me to say it but our military is not a friend of the free citizen anymore.

The military can no longer offend recruits? Used to be that was part of the program.

Not only dismantling the military but degrading respectful terms for superiors.

But what if a sergeant identifies as a general?
