The U.S. Navy SEALs and the Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) recently changed their ethos and creed statements to reflect a gender-neutral presentation of the elite Navy outfits, doing away with gendered terms like “brotherhood.”
One change to the SEAL ethos was to alter a sentence in the first paragraph of the ethos to say, “Common citizens with uncommon desire to succeed” instead of the original, “A common man with uncommon desire to succeed.”
Naval Special Warfare spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Stroup confirmed the changes to the ethos and creed statements in an emailed statement to American Military News.
“Naval Special Warfare continues to deliberately develop a culture of tactical and ethical excellence that reflects the nation we represent, and that draws upon the talents of the all-volunteer force who meet the standards of qualification as a SEAL or SWCC,” Stroup said.
Stroup said the changes to the ethos and creed statements were made to comply with changes in law opening the potential for women to join the elite military units.
“The previous versions of the SEAL Ethos and SWCC Creed were written prior to the law allowing women to serve as operators in Naval Special Warfare. The changes do not in any way reflect lowering standards of entry, rather they ensure that all those who meet the requirements to train to become a SEAL or SWCC are represented in the ethos or creed they live out. This improves the posture of the NSW force by ensuring we draw from the greatest pool of talent available.
Stroup confirmed, “To date, no women completed the SEAL or SWCC qualification training pipelines.”

WHAT THE HELL? How could anyone in the Navy Seals support this insanity???
That really is true with the US military, and with the US government in general today. Read the news, and assume the opposite is true. This rule will never fail you.
Apparently not.
“ Trump really should have fixed this in his first two years.”
Wow! What exactly do you expect him do-fire everyone over O4? You seriously underestimate the depths of the problem.
Do what Obama did and replace the previous administration generals. Being defeatist about it just perpetuates the swamp things in the military.
It’s not being defeatist to admit that Trump could not have done so. First off, Trump trusted the military, second he was being impeached, third he has been fending off attacks from every quarter since he was elected.
They’ve libeled him about being a dictator since before his inauguration; that libel would have literally turned to indictment had he tried to clean house like Obama.
When he wins his next term, I pray he fires all the traitors top to bottom.
The U.S. Military Uses Racist ‘White Privilege’
Materials, And The Next Funding Bill Would Make It Worse
[Our military has gone full-woke Commie SJW]
SEPTEMBER 29, 2020
To reinforce the principles that strengthen our military, the Trump administration should vigorously enforce prohibitions on critical race theory programs.
Imagine this: Army base streets or Navy ship decks are painted with tributes to Black Lives Matter, a movement whose lead organization self-identifies as Marxist. At the Army-Navy game, players take a knee instead of saluting the flag. Military officers are denied promotions if they do not fit percentage-based sex and race quotas. And, to meet “New Woke World” expectations, some promotable officers organize book clubs for subordinates to study best-sellers like “White Fragility.”

I fear that by not cleaning out the military top brass that if CWII starts, the military may not be on our side after all, which means a quick war with us buried in mass graves.
Sadly I agree.
The military is not all brass, and all that gleams is not gold. There are no clean, clear lines in this battle; but we are not alone. God only knows what is in store, and this fight is not simply against men. Our military has been compromised, but all is not lost. It is disheartening, but keep the faith, friend.
Not many of us left. The ones left go along and don’t say anything for fear of being branded. Many Christian Chaplains, for example, have departed. It’s the very top leadership who’s forcing this mess on the rest. Trump needs to retire them once re-elected. While in Kuwait, I had a female 1 star and female Colonel who were gay and flaunted their “marriages.” A two star in MD brought his boyfriend to the Christmas outing. Base housing have LGBTQ flags being flown everywhere. I am disgusted. I will be retiring myself.
Babylon Bee?
Aw, Jeeze. there goes the last bastion of warrior mentality in the military.
I’d love to hear what Dick Marcinko has to say about this.
I’m saddened that 0bama’s Perfumed Princes still run the Pentagon.
He did get rid of that “transgender” training that was being forced down our throats with Obama.
And fire his ass.
Sisterhood? Don’t you mean “zer zim zit”?
Self inflicted wound. Navy blew this one.
Soon our military will be nothing but women & fags. Good luck winning the next war.
Wow!
This is not good news.
Can’t blame you for retiring at all and I honestly don’t see how God cannot judge this nation the way we have given Him the middle finger.
In the meantime, as the brass goes all Wokey McWokerson, essential maintenance on nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines goes undone, so that eventually radiation poisoning, or even “critical mass” incidents occur.
Well, thank you for hanging in there as long as you did. And thank you for your service to Free Republic too.
