“This country is too stupid to last much longer as a superpower.”

It’s a sad thing to say, but you are right, if they keep up this PC nonsense. It’s one thing to have a PC workforce, it’s quite another to have a PC military.

“Have we all forgotten Iwo Jima, the Battle of the Bulge, Chosin Resevoir, Hue City, Mogadishu, Fallujah?”

Many of us haven’t...at least those of us who are old enough to have been taught these lessons in school, or who have family members/friends who have fought in the last 5/6 conflicts. But, I bet you won’t find many of those in today’s DC area, except for the Pentagon. Those in the Pentagon who are for this nonsense are the ones who trouble me.

BTW, I’ve wondered about why there have been so many female sailors who were pregnant when they hit home port. “There’s an app for that”...i.e. birth control. I understand close quarters and “tensions”, but you’d think they would use birth control if they really wanted to make the Navy a career.

Pregnancy is a way to get out of sea duty. And out of the barracks ashore, and into “family” housing.
