You haven’t seen anything yet, a female military, female officer corps, female generals, female congress, female voters on foreign policy, a largely democrat voter military, will lead to turning the military into just another unionized federal job with pay, benefits, health care, and comfort and safety becoming the primary concerns of what used to be hard-living, organizations of hard men living hard adventurous lives with little pay and little interest in the ‘quality of life’ issues when budgets were spent on bullets and bayonets, and meager paychecks on booze and hookers and living on base or onboard, living the soldier or sailor’s life.

The VA and military budgets are going to be overwhelmed with female vets and their self-absorption and disability
claims.

The military life used to be the warrior’s life, and it attracted warriors, and was filled with warriors.

Used to be a warriors life but have you seen the latest army recruiting ads? Almost as sad as the ultra woke CIA recruiting ads.

I heard where a lot of females are complaining that shoving a bullet into the chamber of a firearm is a sexual act that offends them. Don’t know if it’s true or not.

Not just the feminization of the military leadership, but also the perversion of the leadership with perverts able to serve openly.

One of the reasons I got out in 1976 after 5 1/2 years of service is that I concluded that there’s always an idiot or an asshole who outranks you. Now add that there’s very likely someone who is openly perverted and without morals who supports Marxist ideology who outranks you. Many, many, many are saying “No thanks”.

Back in 91 at Bragg (will always be Bragg to me for as much as I hated the place) we had a female CO (captain) and female 1st sergeant (think it was an e7 acting). Not a great time as the CO had a last name that worked into parody for some country song about thunder thighs / wandering eyes that some troops sang it openly and the 1sgt who was married to another e7 in the company was having an affair with the warrant officer 2 who was in the same platoon as I was (I was a lowly e3 at the time). It was not exactly an uplifting experience as the 1sgt and wo2 seemed to have several spats over various things to include one time coming back from a field exercise and while at vehicle recovery stuff in front of the motor pool as I was slowly driving the wo2 in a humvee, the 1sgt was in the field trying to coordinate things and she and the wo2 had some words and she must have mouthed off to him as he jumped out of the vehicle while we were still driving and just started tearing her a new one right in the middle of everyone. He got back in the vehicle and told me to drive while she just sat down in the field and cried. It was a sad sight for all of us.

If you read the U.S. Constitution you'll see that there is no place in this nation for a permanent standing army of a substantial size.

The army was supposed to be comprised almost entirely of state militias that were called up when Congress issued a formal declaration of war.

Those days ended when state militias were disbanded after the Civil War.

Now we're just like any other fading empire.

Won’t be long before the Army issues cats to female soldiers.
