The great majority of Marines today live our core values on a daily basis and exhibit the true warfighting culture of our Corps. A few do not. This memorandum concerns them... because of the values our individual Marines embody: Honor, Courage, and Commitment....We must speak plainly and forcefully with our recruits and candidates from day one, and tell them that racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes, and bullies are not welcome...I expect leaders who see any sexism, racism, or other destructive attitudes in the ranks to step in immediately and intervene, just like you would to stop an impending safety mishap.
Whatever happened to “a few good men”? Marines are not social workers. In Army BCT, blanket parties were used to incentivize individuals who wouldn’t or couldn’t get with the program. Cruel? Brutal? Yes, of course. But we weren’t being prepared for to distribute flowers and rainbows. We were being trained to kill, and secondarily, to survive. Where else is that part of a job description?
It became a movie written by an American-Hating Lefty.
The Urban dictionary admits, “As you can see, the word bigot is popularly defined in multiple ways even among mainstream dictionaries.....” MW primarily defines it as “a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc.” and note that “ideas” is included which can easily be used to relegate any one with opinions to being a bigot, thus it is often used as a catch-all terms in rules relegating speech in order to justify censoring those with dissenting opinions.
***So this dude in the Marine Corp is engaging in Anti-Christian bigotry.
Indeed, according to the liberal use of the ambiguous word.
It would be informative to get a real report on the current US military readiness status, my bet is it’s pretty low, heading down.
"Good" presumes a definition of it,and which in turn presupposes a transcendent definitive source of morality, which used to be the Bible, but now is that of the ever-morphing immoral politically correct elites.
LOL, never thought I’d live to see that day when the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps was a sodomite homo advocate.
The Corps has sure sunk to a new low. Homos and trannies are worshipped and he likes women in the grunts. The corps is losing it’s tanks and artillery and the amtracks are banned from the water unless it’s actual combat.
Time to change the name soon.
Not those who fought and won in the past, whatever their person failings were.
Waiting for this assclown to decide the eagle standing on top of the globe is a little too dominant and needs to stand quietly to the side of the globe.
Clown...
Meaning US as here overall as conservatives, esp. Christian ones.
“Was the Sergeant Major required to write this memo, or was he so angered that he felt the need to spill his guts on these issues?
So is he a spineless coward, or does he truly believe in the virtue of men doing each other in the poop hole?
Either way, he’s a poor leader and an immoral man.
"How about bullies who insist we think and feel in a certain way while preventing us from standing up for what's right?"ded, but as with "bigots," the one making the definition is the bully.
Just imagine if there were a draft.
Inductees would have to be sent to re-education camp before being sent to boot camp!
Does this mean “Nothing but steers and queers come from (your state)” is out?
This is not your daddy’s marine Corps.
A "capable fighting unit" means rooting out conservatives, who are now considered extremists by those who used to be extremists - on the devil's side.
And in all that time in the Corps, you never learned how to spell it? One of the ways we discover fakers, is how they fail to know how to spell "Corps".
Likely in union with the CIC. Yet even claiming to be "reinforcing the teacher-scholar/senior-subordinate relationship advocated by our 13th Commandant, Major General Lejeune." How would Major General Lejeune respond to this?
This guy (I won’t call him a Marine) was appointed while Trump was POTUS. Our institutions are rotten to the core. All of them.
i am so bloody glad that i have no grandchildren to man this pee-poor amalgamation of what was the Cold War military.
It is not the grunt, swabbie, airman, or girene I hold in contempt. It is those yassuh officers so determined to keep their retiremeent safe at the expense of mucking up the wbole organization.
