tell you what.
You keep your business to yourself and I will conduct my family to how I want.
As for stories then so do I and meeting great and assholes too.
It has changed, even the soldier who just got back home saw his officer in a woman s dress in the PX and like he said that was his final straw.
Getting in is easy today and BTW I still have pals serving , some getting out and they too say it’s changed even in special forces.
Too many join for the freebies and not for love of country, the while system is screwed up, training is now run in sneakers for the test.
If you don’t think PC has infested the military then so be it but I assert it has and so do many I know who are leaving, soon or have left.
Go to war, but not some because some don’t want to fight other muslims, or are against war or don’t agree with the war, ten there is the Chaplain crap now, the anti Christian crap, the likes of Manning, homosexuals, cross dressing
LOL! Undoubtedly you were in the last tough Basic Training class.
Your laundry list of faults with the military shows you don't know what you're talking about.
What "anti-Christian crap"? What "Chaplain crap"? You could just as easily blame Reagan for the current policy that is being clarified here.
What about Manning? You mean the fact that he's on trial for treason and will never see the light of day again?
The people who don't want to fight? Yeah, they got kicked out. 1LT Watada was in my sister Battalion at Fort Lewis. Everyone hated that punk, and he got drummed out for being a little bitch (he was also a terrible officer even before that whole anti-war thing).
Cross-dressing? Violates AR 670-1 in its current state. Go for it, but you'd better not be caught doing it by your CO.
Homosexuals? You know what the net effect has been so far? Nothing. Why? Because they're still expected to be professional Soldiers. If they ever start getting preferential treatment (i.e. no judicial actions b/c they're being "discriminated against") then you'll be on to something.
Take my word for it. You read too much FR. You think you know what's going on, but you're getting first-order effects from dubious sources. However, FR can be a great source b/c people who are directly involved can come onto a thread and clarify what exactly is going on.
That used to mean something around here. Not so much anymore apparently.
Kind of like Klinger (sic?) in Mash?
