Marines brace for mandatory sensitivity training

The Obama administration has turned the greatest fighting force on the planet into a social engineering petri dish.

Marines will soon be forced to attend “unconscious bias” training – in advance of women joining the infantry.

The seminar will focus on how people prejudge others based on factors like race and gender, and principals of institutional change.

“There’s no doubt we’re leading cultural change,” Brig. Gen. James Glynn said. “We like a challenge.”

A Center for Naval Analyses survey found a “significant majority” of male Marines opposed having women serve in ground combat jobs.

Mobile training teams will be dispatched across the Corps in May.

“The purpose of the mobile training team is to begin to facilitate the cultural change,” Glynn said.

Col. Anne Weinberg described one of the potential questions.

“In the field you’ve got three women and six guys. How are you going to billet?”

How are Marines supposed to get combat training when they are deluged with sensitivity training and equal opportunity training and sexual harassment training?

Challenges may include losing wars, getting a lot of young Marines killed and being the laughing stock of our enemies worldwide.

"..Sensitivity Training will replace Bayonet Training, not allowed anymore under the Rules of Engagement and is the ultimate expression of insensitivity.."

I am sooo stealing that.. For a tag line or some such.
Way sad-but-true. d:^)

‘Sensitivity training’=attempted brainwashing and mind control under any other name. The Soviets loved it, the Chinese love it and Obama loves it.

All dictators love it.

“North Korea begins brainwashing children in cult of the Kims as early as kindergarten”

When the media reports about Obama at the ball game, do they mention that he is the only one free to leave that country if he wishes?

How much pleasure does he get from hanging around slaves?

Somehow I don’t recall the Marines being trained to be particularly “sensitive”.

Real ‘fan’ there.

ANY IDIOT knows better than to lace ones fingers through the netting like that.
(Same kind of idiot that picks up a piece and first thing he/she does is rest finger ON trigger)

Kind of like ‘M-1’ thumb— more than once make one a complete idiot. If the guy next to you gets ‘caught’, then you, you can still be classified as ‘stupid - to a degree’.
(M-1 thumb - if you know, you know)

That ‘runty castro’ fellow sure must have surrender on his mind - lot of picture with both hands in the air.

That pic of limp wrist BO was priceless.

Still think BO should have thrown out the first pitch.

In the Navy, on a 186 foot long ocean going tugboat, we put up curtains, and turned one of the heads into a ladies lavatory.

But in the field? I’d just suggest getting nekked and piling up for warmth.

/sarc?

Here's a suggestion for a sensitivity training exercise for the Marines:
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]

"Did that hurt? No? No answer?"

[Bang!]

"How about now?"

Hopefully, whoever is the next Republican President will overturn all the Executive Orders going back to “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

If the LGBTQRXYZ crowd has a problem then create a ‘separate, but equal’ Brigade for them, complete with pink camo uniforms. Put General ‘Butch’ in charge.

I was sure to do that the second time. Made sure that I thought it out before answering. The only reason I did not do that the first time is that I was caught unexpectedly and blurted out the truth.
