I know the Express News is not a reliable source of the truth, but they are parroting military.com.

Am I mistaken, isn't that also a liberal site? Even prohibited here at FR?

I was mistaken in the sense that military.com was prohibited. I just partially posted from that site, and it would have gone through.

Hopefully that is short lived which it will be if Trump has anything to say about it. Most likely phony "fake" news. Either way, Trump will have none of it.

Didn't Earn It.

DEI needs to DIE before more people DIE because of DEI!!!!!

Great way to find those who went round. Their egos will force them back into the light...

If this is actually going on in the Air Force, Hegseth or one of those working for him, needs to come down quick and hard with penalities for defying an order. I believe that would be classed as some form of purposeful insubordination.
All this DEI, divisive nonsense needs to be wiped out, with zero wiggle room.

Personal pronouns can be useful when the name is ambiguous about sex. Captain Ashley Wilkes can legitimately note that he is male. And wholly foreign names can be clarified for the same reason.

I think Hegseth will come down hard.

Some AF general is pulling a bait and switch to try to impede Hegseth. Some tried this at the Pentagon, by, in a ridiculous example, removing references to the Enola Gay because it included the word "gay."

I can tell you, whether they’re permissible or not, the fallback will be not to tell anyone your special pronouns. They’ve fallen out of favor. They’re not popular anymore. And, they’re out of fashion. All of those things. Only an idiot would tell people their preferred pronoun. The people who do, will likely be at the bottom of the promotion ladder and eventually eased out.

Bree is happy though

Video
Pentagon official Lt. Col. Bree Fram:

“Share your pronouns in your email, particularly if you are a person that doesn’t think they need to.”

“Great way to find those who went round. Their egos will force them back into the light...”

“he/him, she/her and they/them are back, at least for those who want to use them.”

My thought, too. Great way to ferret out the DEI crowd “who want to use them” and find other ways to get rid of them.

Let’s hope!

Personally, I support letting them put their personal pronouns out for everyone to see. Makes it a lot easier to identify the freaks that need to be thrown out of the military.

Actually this is smart. Now we know who to fire...those that use them.

Yep, for a defined period of time, just make a list, keep it updated, and wham. Walk the plank!

Not that I ever had to deal with it much, but I liked people advertising their pronouns. It immediately let me know I was dealing with an idiot.

Anyone addressing them needs to figure it out. The practice of putting pronouns in any type of Air Force correspondence needs to stop immediately. It should have never been allowed to begin. If they’re pronouns, are that much a part of their existence, then they need to go, because they are not putting national security in the role that they play in that service first. The military is here to serve one purpose.

Military pronouns are your rank followed by your last name. They can enjoy their “personal pronouns” on their discharge documents listed after Reason For:
