Egypt’s in flames, China has advanced carriers and jets and this is what our military is focused on. The same thing happened after Tailhook where everyone started the sex harassment prevention training and TQL crap. Meanwhile, Islam was blowing up our ships and embassies.

You are so right...........

Instead of “An Army of One”, the new motto will be “An Army of Sixty-Nine”...

Dreadful...absolutely pathetic.

As a lawyer, you'd deserve it! I was thinking some schlub Capt or Major who had just finished something and was between 'projects'.

A new entitlement program for veterans will also be put into place. The "BA" Bill will allow for soldiers and semen to practice life skills that will allow them access to hundreds of thousands of similarly minded people, in a nude or semi-nude environment. These "men", cloistered closely together during "boot" camp will begin relationships that will last for a lifetime, and get paid for it to "boot". Personally I would like to see a WW II era Sgt "boot break" some of these boyz, but alas they would probably just start a "S & M" brigade.

Anyone ever see the warnings in the Old Testament about allowing the "dog" into your camp? They are referring to the homosexual male, and how it will turn Gods head from the side of Israel. Whether you know it or not, God chooses who to favor in the heat of a battle. The circumstances, the weather or the quality of the leaders. This is a HUGE mistake, which will be paid for in American blood.

Defending oneself is a skill best left to the courts. Those at the top want people to be defenseless, like the female trainees that are “battle ready”, but cannot keep a lovestruck GI from making advances. Yep, tough enough to kill for their country, but weak enough to cry harassment when someone touches their boobies. THAT will be the face of the army, “queens” taking revenge on those who spurn them, or favoring those who “please”.

What happened to the 90 day wait that I thought was required?

this is abject totalitarianism.

I still remember the "assembly" our High School had for blacks only. Afterwards as I was walking down the halls it let out, the 15 or so blacks that I had grown up with, lived next to and played with were now bitter, grouped together and as "in your face" as Olberman ever was on his messed up MSNBC gig. From what I could gather, they spent the better part of two hours being told all of the injustices of life in America, how the honkie was the enemy, and to STAND UP.

One guy in particular, a guy I walked to school with from grade school through Junior high, became president of the NAACP in the future. I rarely ran into him after HS, he was a very nice guy, but I swear to you that after that assembly he changed for the worse.

This was a kid that charged up the hill towards me and my little brother to confront us, because my brother had yelled down at them calling N....r n....r n....r, while he and his brother played football in their front yard. My brother ran home instantly, I stayed and apologized for my brother, told them I would pop him in the head, and tell my dad about it. We hung out and played ball afterwards. We knew that we had different color skin, but we treated each other like any other boy in the neighborhood. You didn't use the N word at all, mom would kick your behind, and they never called us whitey, honkey or cracker....until the day after the "assembly", then it was a common word.

“adjust to a military that will allow gays and lesbians”
Are they teaching soldiers to not point and laugh when a fag is spotted? Because that is what I do every time I spot one.

“Yeah, I’m a reserve JAG and we get the pleasure of going through the reeducation first. This may be a WHOLE lotta fun!”

I looked at DoD’s website on this and the report they issued. Part of the plan of implementation was changing the UCMJ to remove the “sodomy” prohibitions.

My question. What if the New House that is sitting were to refuse to amend the UCMJ and left sodomy as illegal? Could that derail this push? Afterall, it was only done because a lame duck congress approved it. Something the current House would NEVER let fly.

Had the training already, they are avoiding any moral issues. Simply told to remain professional. Gate knows Christian (real bible following) object on moral grounds. He and his lap dog Mullens know they need the Christians more than gays. The training is for show standby for the real problems. This was not well thought out. As a retired Marine said, this is not like integration of blacks, race is a benign factor, homosexuality is all about sex and a lifestyle. It is not benign. By the way they want Congress to change the laws they admitted in the laws still make gay sex illegal. CALL Your Congressman. Make UCMJ stricter not morally weaker!

Have you got your 30 in yet? If you do, retire.
I hated it that when I retired it was Bill Clinton who signed the certificate of appreciation for my 30 years of service. Clinton was not respected among my peers.

I don't know and have not heard how the Marines are going to contend with this new version of HumRel..I suspect they will hold the nose and do the training..But we already know who the new CMC feels about this...
I despise it when the yucks in office use the military for their social engineering..they should leave well enough alone.

39 years? How much will that affect your retired points? I suspect you have to use that formula to determine your % of base pay that you will receive. If it is not a significant amount, bail out.

Into the valley of death rode the 69 ers of the Felation Army Group Regiment, checking their appearance in mirrors as they go.

Their battle cry? “ Why doesn’t the enemy love me!” but sometimes its “ Bend me over or Die!!”

Others have said they are trying to change their motto to:
“Can I put Your Gun in my Mouth?”

Well, I won't get much from the military side since it is all national guard, but rather the civil service retirement. I also have a Roth IRA.
