Past Chronicles ^ | 10/19/2023

The Pentagon recently retracted a directive that demanded the exclusive use of gender-neutral pronouns in specific award citations. This policy reversal followed significant public and political reaction.

The billionaires have made their billions off the confusion they caused, so they don’t care if it swings back to normal.

The noise around going woke is 100X louder than the muffled sound of repudiating woke.

“...leading to its prompt review” — “PROMPT” my ass.

No, the left just doesn’t want to seem too crazy in an election year. Just watch, the policy will be right back in place in a year and a half if the Democrats win the Presidency.

It’s kind of important that military people speak precisely and not play childish word games when communicating. Playing word games gets people killed.

The Pentagon needs to revisit a LOT of their recent policies if they ever want to field another viable army

"The Pentagon needs to revisit a LOT of their recent policies if they ever want to field another viable army"

That's what its about. Recruitment is down. Noises about bringing back a draft--but I bet some analysts are questioning the viability justifying it since we aren't (officially) at war, potentially sparking outright revolt if they implement it "just because" or for some BS rationale.

The fact that this became an issue at all shows how far from normalcy we are.

General Patton never said: ““Rommel, you magnificent they/them, I read your book!”

It's hard to tell, with SO much ‘BS rationale’ in our politics.

With all the wall-to-wall lies, fraud, corruption, duplicity, incompetence and outright apathy in Congress, I get depressed just thinking about it.

Its the beginning of adjusting the propaganda so “rubes” in flyover country won’t oppose a draft when it is re-started.

Enough with this “gender identity” nonsense. You are what your sex is. End of discussion.
