Air Force Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Richard Clark could not define the term “demigender” when asked this week in Congress to defend the Academy supporting a fellowship opportunity for “demigender” people.

Under questioning by Matt Gaetz:

“So you just said…it’s all about the fighting force that we draw from, but you’re literally pushing a program in the academies that says, if you’re a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, a non-binary, a-gender, bi-gender, two-spirit, demigender — what’s demigender?” Gaetz asked Clark.

Clark tried to skirt the question. “Sir, that’s a — that’s a term of the people that are eligible for that particular scholarship that it’s available in person to — it’s a person who looks at their gender in a, in a different, a different way than I do, sir,” he said.

When asked again what “demigender” meant, Clark finally responded, “I’m not really sure, sir.”

When asked if he knew what “a-gender” meant, Clark said, “Sir, I don’t.”

Richard-Clark

"Republicans argue that the military is already diverse, and the programs are divisive in the military and a waste of resources that are better spent on combat readiness and warfighting skills, while Democrats insist that diversity is a warfighting imperative, and that the military should boost the number of women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ people in order to better reflect America’s population."

So there you have it.

And they can't understand why recruiting is down so much..

If Diversity is our strength, then Austria-Hungary would have won WWI.

do we really want someone so clueless like that heading up our military training? It’s downright embarrassing!

I’ll just say we are at the begining of recruitment issues...for the academy, officers in general, and enlisted. The Army and Navy are both at a more dismal point, and I would imagine within three years....some missions that the Army and Navy would normally hold, will be turned over to the Air Force because of manpower shortages. This in turn...will freak out more Air Force folks because of non-traditional missions being ‘dumped’ because of billet shortages.

It means whatever they want it to mean. It may mean one thing today, another tomorrow. It may mean one thing to one person, another thing to another. It cannot be specifically defined.

Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away, USAFA had competent leadership.

Today?

Bwahahahahahaha.

Don’t ask the cadets what they REALLY think until you’re in private with them. They are smart enough to know that their military is ruled by idiots, perverts, fools.

I can imagine that during WW2 some Germans, Japanese and/or Italian citizens praying for the defeat of their own country. I am speaking hypothetically. LOL
It seems like similar prayers are BEING ANSWERED today in the USA.
Not funny in the LOL way, but … interesting?

From Paul Craig Roberts:

Join the military and be discriminated against. You will be required to take classes to learn that you have white privilege, are racist, misogynist, homophobic, and transphobic. You will not be promoted. The U.S. military has too many white officers. Your officers will be blacks, feminists, homosexuals, and transgendered people who have been taught to hate heterosexual white males as violent exploiters, and they will take their learned hatreds out on you. You will be psychologically tortured. In fact, you and your despicable kind in the civilian population are the main enemy as seen by the U.S. military.

He’s a US General, and doesn’t know what the term agender might mean? Where did he go to college? Was it on an athletic scholarship? One might expect someone to do a little studying or refreshing on the top five concerns of the day.
He does no favors for other black officers, leaving one to assume affirmative hiring is the main reason for his promotions.

He didn’t know a lot of things, because he’s just a yes man for the Democrats.

demigender? WTH does that even mean?

According to the University of Massachusetts, demigender individuals feel a partial connection to a particular gender identity. Examples of demigender identities include demigirl, and demiboy, and demiandrogyne.

According to the University of Illinois, A-gender individuals identify as genderless or gender-neutral. Demigender individuals identify somewhere between being A-gender and having a gender.

Two things should be crystal clear. (1) Universities are effing with the minds of our young adults, and (2) this whole multi-gender thing is a game. As in: Let's see how many new genders we can come up with to get more grant money and attract more weak-minded people to pay money to come here.

When I was carny trash, we had an androgynous performer that was half-man/half-woman. In the bally, the barker described him as “demisexed”. Figure it’s the same thing: part of one, part of the other, less than each.

Nothing to worry about, there’s always the draft we can fall back on to fill recruitment deficiencies.

A demi-gender is someone who desires an emotional component with sex.

In other words they don't do hook-ups but seek out and maintain relationships.

We used to call those people, emotionally well balanced as opposed to people who just had sex with anyone they could get to hold still.

It is another stupid prefix they use to denote normal.

The services have been directed not to publicly speak about their recruiting problems. The Army, Navy, and Air Force chiefs all announced in April that they will not make enlistment goals this year. This will save the embarrassment of a service having to state it only achieved 70% of its annual enlistment goal.

The new policy is to pretend everything is fine. Army units will train at 60-70% strength, the Navy will have fewer ships at sea, and the Air Force will have less flying hours.
