Air Force cadets are being told to address people in ways that “include all genders” — dropping the use of “boyfriend or girlfriend” and even “mom and dad.”
Diversity and inclusion (D&I) training at the Air Force Academy in Colorado includes instruction on how to “use inclusive language,” according to documents shared by Fox News Digital.
“Use words that include all genders,” the training material tells cadets, warning them to “ask” people what they “call themselves” rather than assuming.
Instead of saying “you guys,” cadets are told to use gender-neutral terms like “team,” “squaddies,” “folks” and even “y’all.”
“Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'” the presentation states, telling cadets to “recognize diverse family formation.”
Equally, they are told to use “partner” rather than “boyfriend or girlfriend.’”
The training says to also use “person-centered” language, such as “people with disabilities” instead of “the disabled” and “transgender people” rather than “transgenders.”
“Not ‘Colorblind’ or ‘I don’t see color,’ but Color Conscious,” it adds. “We see Color/Patterns AND VALUE people for their uniqueness.”
The slides insist that inclusive language is critical in both helping “lift others (motivate our teams)” as well as in “developing warfighters.”
“Today we are preparing to face challenges that may not exist today,” the training says.
“For example, Information Warfare only became a career field 7 years ago, and we stood up the Space Force in 2019. This makes our need to innovate critical.
“Thus, our leaders have deemed D&I a warfighting imperative.”

Political correctness will undermine us, and our military, as surely as any enemy attack would.
This is an Obama-generated regulation as sure as God made little green apples.
We spend $1 trillion each year on the military and they don’t protect our border. It’s time for radical defense spending cuts so there is only enough money to do what is required to truly defend America.
So many necks ... so few nooses.
Communist vermin love to change the meanings of words and alter language in order to achieve the destruction of human society and the family unit so they can turn everyone into slaves.
I learned from the Vietnamese orphans in my 2nd grade class on Guam: kill Communists, before they kill your parents, your entire family, and everything and everyone you love.
"Diversity" and "Inclusion" for those in Rio Linda. Nothing gets an enemy deader than using xer incorrect pronoun.
Hmm...I noticed a handful of "recruiting is down" stories over the past week. Strange coincidence...
We can’t say mom or dad?
So when discussing family, you can’t say anything about your mom or dad? You have to say you have some generic, undefined parental units in your life, but not specify if they are your mother or father? What the heck???
Then, the dumb bassturds wonder why their recruit numbers are in the toilet. Adults need to be put back in charge.
And yet, they can’t figure out why they’re failing to meet recruiting goals. What a mystery.
To be ignored completely. But that should tell all those cadets to find a way out ASAP. “They chose poorly”, to quote the phrase.
TAKE THAT, PUTIN!!!!
its nonsense to force woke compliance
comply and you are a good soldier
dont and you are a heretic

Worrying about this crap shows evidence of a military suffering from dry-rot from the inside.
It’s bad. It’s really bad.
I would tell them....”They are my mom and dad, get used to it...Sir”
it is part of the plan
they only want woke recruits
