Sigh. This is insanity. And it is going to cost us.

As bad as it is going to cost "us", imagine how much it is going to cost those in combat, in lives, morale, effectiveness, cohesiveness, etc....

What will be done for combat effectiveness (have four men carry all the ammo but NONE of the women), will have a very strong smell and look of favoritism! This will cause breakdowns and riffs at the most basic levels, and at the worst times!

Now, I know MOST Marines will battle through this crap and continue to do their jobs, because they want to make it home. BUT, it will be one more reason these good quality men do not want to re-enlist and then we lose good Marines over ridiculous, PC, unnecessary bullsh!t!

I agree 100%. I was using “us” as all of us, citizens and the military.

As I have said repeatedly over the years, it is going to cost blood in battle, and we are going to lose engagements, battles, and wars.

And when people are called to account, the people responsible for this insanity are going to be long gone, living fat and happy.

And I also guarantee the people supporting this stupidity will be the same people screaming the loudest about policies that cost lives.

Boy, it does make me steaming mad, and I HATE being right on this, because I know I will be.
