The Systematic Destruction of the American Military
email | May 7, 2016 | Col. Fred Dibella, U.S. Army (Ret.)

Posted on 10/13/2016 9:07:28 AM PDT by Robert DeLong

In a 2015 memo by the Secretary of the Army to worldwide Army Commands, the Secretary dictated that ‘Commanders and soldiers will balance lactation support and readiness.’

In response, Colonel (Ret.) Fred Dibella, USMA Class of ’69 and former TAC of Company F2 at West Point wrote:

“Ok, I’ve had all I can stomach. I’m done.

Scroll down and read this crap right now, if you think I’m kidding, then come back to my remarks, if you haven’t puked your guts out. (USMA ‘69 forum, feel free to permanently ban me from your rolls, but I’ve had enough.)

Obama and his lackeys have now systematically laid the groundwork to accomplish what no battlefield enemy has ever done; that is, to emasculate the United States Military. I honestly don’t know how he could have done it more effectively. He’s dangerously downsized the force; he’s rooted out warriors like Stan McChrystal and Carter Ham from the General and Flag Officer ranks and installed puppets like George Casey and Martin Dempsey; he not only obliterated ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell’; he searched long and hard to find an openly gay (and utterly unqualified) man to be Secretary of the Army; he opened not just combat arms to women, but the absolute tips of the spear in Infantry, Armor and Artillery, and the predictable result is directives like “balance lactation support and readiness”?

Seriously? SERIOUSLY??? Balance lactation support and readiness!?

Sorry, I’m old school, but I THOUGHT READINESS WAS NEVER, EVER COMPROMISED… let alone for “lactation support”.

Have we gone completely mad?!? Do you think for a moment that the greatest fighting force the planet has ever known is immune to emasculation? That there’s nothing that Obama can do to significantly degrade its lethality? That somehow we will magically prevail, despite all this crap?

Here’s the blunt truth, and if you think this flies in the face of political correctness and/or liberal theology… congratulations.

The most important reason the U.S. Military has been so dominant, so lethal, and so unbeatable over that last 200 years is that we subscribe to a Warrior Ethos. We’re not quite Sparta, but we ain’t been far behind. That is, until now. Up to now, we have recognized the blatantly obvious: That battles and wars are won by Alpha Males. And why is that? Uh… because men and women may well be equal in the eyes of God, but they damned sure ain’t identical in the laws of physics and psychology. Men are, by and large, bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive, more violent, more ferocious, more intense, more powerful, more brutal, more belligerent, more destructive, AND THEREFORE MORE LETHAL than women.

You don’t buy that? Tell you what – pick 50 men at random from anywhere and 50 women. Put ‘em in a big ring and tell ‘em to fight to the death. Have a problem immediately predicting the outcome? If you do, I can’t help you. You’re an idiot or a flaming liberal who believes that “Laura Croft, Tomb Raider” is real.

Why do you think Martin Dempsey, Obama’s personal lackey in uniform, issued his famous proclamation? You know the one: “If women can’t pass the standards at Ranger school, SEAL school, and other similar training programs, then the standards will have to be justified to me”.

God help me, but am I the only one who sees through that bull? I guess the Rangers at Point du Hoc weren’t good enough, huh Martin? Neither were the SEALS at Benghazi? I guess Delta’s incredible successes are not sufficient. ‘We must reassess the standards’. Total crock of ----. Scrape away the BS, and here’s the residue: We’re gonna lower the bar ‘till the women can get over it, period. Think that’ll have any effect on lethality? BTW, how’d you like to be the Ranger School Commandant who goes to Massa Dempsey’s office to ‘splain why women aint’ makin’ it? Think he might avoid that by “adjusting” things a bit?

But it’s more than physicality. It’s about the laws of nature. That is, when young men and women are put together they respond to hormones rather than ‘good order and discipline’. 1976: Women are introduced to West Point. Regulations strictly prohibited fraternization among cadets. Hahahahahahaha. Written by some idiot, no doubt. They were bangin’ each other like rabbits. Trust me, I had a ringside seat. But that wouldn’t happen in a Ranger squad, or a SEAL team, right? If you said, “Right”, then you’re an idiot. The squad/team leader is messin’ around with a female and there’s no degradation to good order and discipline, right? The previous “Brotherhood” that formerly bonded warriors together won’t be affected, right?

So we now have a female Commandant of Cadets at West Point. See how freaking enlightened we are? We can appoint females to the leadership roles at the nations’ premier School for Warriors. That is, the nations’ FORMER premier School for Warriors. West Point is now the tip of the Political Correctness spear. We have gay marriages at the cadet chapel, we have kindness and compassion seminars, we even have Sensitivity Officers on cadet staffs - right next to the Operations and Logistics Officers - to ensure that Alpha Males do not behave like Alpha Males. We dumb ‘em down now. We used to understand that good warriors were a little rough around the edges. We tolerated that, because we knew ‘em for what they were… Patton comes immediately to mind. Instead, now we intentionally extract the fangs from the sheepdogs, just about the time when the wolves from Islam are stalking the flock…

Obama gave us Obamacare, which is now sinking under its own sick formula. Good thing, because the gutless Republicans couldn’t bring themselves to defund it. Obama has given us Sotomayor and Kagan, two flaming Liberals who will sit on that bench for a generation of Looney Tunes. Obama has demonstrated his racism, his socialism, his disdain for law enforcement and even his proclivity for Islam (the “peaceful” religion… what a laugh). He’s been the single most divisive and destructive POTUS in my lifetime. America, thanks to him, is at war with itself. GOP vs ‘Crats, Blacks vs Whites, Haves vs Have-nots, Women vs Men, Armed vs Unarmed, you name the category… we have two sides at war with each other.

The debt is approaching $20 Trillion. That’s such a ridiculous number that even economists can’t fathom it. More than half of it generated on Obama’s personal watch. We have no national border. None. Agents have been defanged, and the illegal aliens come across at will. The problems in Arizona and Texas are ignored by Obama. Israel has gone from being our most trusted and respected ally in the Mideast to being openly discredited, condemned and insulted by him. The nuclear deal with Iran was and is a joke. Un-vetted Syrian male “refugees”… well hell, come to America! It’s all so transparent. You elect an utterly totally unqualified candidate with dangerous background affiliations in his past, and this is what you get: a self-inflicted wound.

But it all pales, in my humble world, to his destruction of the American Military. These are the guardians of our way of life. These are the warriors. These are the “rough MEN who allow us to sleep soundly, because they stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm”. But go ahead, America: let this ideologue continue the systematic defanging of our fighting force. Let him feminize it. Let him drag it into the political correctness cesspool. Let him continue the social engineering and tinkering. Keep putting high heel shoes on male cadets, so they can “empathize”. Forget all our hard-fought lessons at Khe Sanh, the Chosin Reservoir, Bastogne, Belleau Wood, Gettysburg, and Bunker Hill. Let the idiots tell you that war is “push button” now, so anyone can be a warrior.

Go ahead…

Historians won’t have a difficult time analyzing this disintegration. We were just too timid to put a stop to the madness… ”

Col. Fred Dibella, U.S. Army (Ret.)

Col. Fred Dibella, U.S. Army (Retired) hits the nail totally on the head. The B.S. of Political Correctness and so-called diversity and social engineering of the Military has destroyed ALL the Services. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. The forced gender equality instead of teaching actual fighting and defensive techniques to survive the Combat Environment and the Military has suffer because of this.

And when you add that the current Muslim-In Chief, POS POTUS has denigrated the military insize, strength and equipment shows beyond any doubt that they wish to not only destroy our Military Forces, but also our Country.

Our Country will only be free and strong as long as our military can defend us. Obama has done more to destroy both than anyone in history.

People, we have to get our heads out of our rear-ends and DEMAND that Congress strengthen our Military AT ONCE. If they don’t do it, have them remove from Congress and put people in there that will.

Thank you for posting that email Robert DeLong. Please note that the following critique is directed at low-information patriot voters, not at you or the retired military officer who wrote the email.

As a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, low-information patriots have failed to establish the 2/3 conservative Senate supermajority required to remove a House-Impeached president from office.

More specifically, although patriots hypothetically could have replaced the entire Senate by now in the three election cycles that have passed since Obama took office, patriots have only been able to achieve a relatively meaningless simple conservative majority in the Senate — a lame duck senate when it comes to dealing with lawless presidents. (Note that the corrupt Senate probably wants the Senate to remain a simple majority lame duck with respect to not being able to remove likewise corrupt presidents.)

Perhaps patriots will get the real change that they want in corrupt DC once they wise up and state pointing the finger at their own, inexcusable ignorance of the Constitution.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

I am a retired Army officer and can attest to everything in the email. I have long said the next president should fire every three and four star officer because they have done all they can to destroy our military. Their professional motto now is Career before Country. Obama’s hatred of all things in uniform shows every day in our military with our homosexual Sec of the Army, the most destructive Navy Secretary ever and more. What did America do to deserve this type of destruction?

Too many citizens allowed for the destruction of their schools, an orderly and limited immigration process, and our very sovereignty for more than a 50-60 year period. Thinking that we were in the hands of people who loved this country, but were really only interested in furthering themselves at all costs.

Supporting & voting Trump/Pence is no problem, however, electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress is the hard part to accomplish. We are left with those who are not up for reelection, along with those who won their primaries that I have the ability to vote for along with those I have no say in their reelection chances.

I agree. But let’s see what Trump can do in the meanwhile.

broken_arrow, please know that Texas isn’t the only place where the fire still burns brightly.

I live in Massachusetts and I’m probably going to die here. I’m dug in.

But I am willing to march on Lexington Green, right this minute, for the exact same reason they marched there in 1775. Don’t assume the Northeast is solid blue. There are still some pockets of red.

Yes it is, but beyond that it is outright disturbing. As the world catches on fire, we are caught up in stupid political correctness and weakening our defenses. While at the same time they are saber rattling with Russia and now North Korea as well.

I hope we can overpower the corruption that will take place come November 8th so President Donald J. Trump can initiate charges of treason that are so rightly deserved, on a host of people.

If Trump doesn’t win the gutting of the military continues under Hillary.

And while most Americans won’t notice it our rivals certainly will. The more that America is perceived to be weak the greater the risk that someone will test us.

You can already see what Russia and China think of American power under Obama

Absolutely, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, while others have lost all faith in us that they had left. Those world leaders that openly speak ill of Trump do so, because they know that they will no longer be able to take advantage of America like they have been able to for many years now.
