REVEALED: US Navy forces sailors to commit to 'all lived experiences and intersectional identities'
The Post Millennial ^ | February 13, 2021 | Libby Emmons

Posted on 02/15/2021 11:12:11 AM PST by Mount Athos

The pledge reads: "As a key member of Task Force One Navy I will invest the time, attention and empathy required to analyze and evaluate Navywide issues related to racism, sexism, ableism and other structural and interpersonal biases.

"I pledge to be actively inclusive in the public and private spheres where I live and work, and proactively encourage others to do the same.

"I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy.

They also state that "In our Navy, like society, I&D [inclusion and diversity] must never become an afterthought."

Anyone have any idea what that means?.

It means if you are a Christian you can’t join the Navy.

A Christian can not advocate for sin.

Homosexual acts should be illegal everywhere. Return to ask and tell. Medical mutilations, even for adults, should be illegal and it not be recognized if they have one out of country.

Not to be an alarmist, but this looks like a form of propaganda to prepare troops to fire on fellow citizens.

Normal propaganda would dehumanize the “enemy” directly. This paints the soldier as morally superior, and thus justified in eradicating moral inferiors.

Whoa! That sounds familiar.

“In the Navy” is replacing “Anchors Aweigh” as the fight song of the United States Naval Academy and march song of the United States Navy

What about other unacceptable behavior like farting into a refrigerator or peeing into a sink? Shouldn’t soldiers take an oath to proactively not do these things?

I had to look that one up.

ableism
[ˈābəˌlizəm]
NOUN

discrimination in favor of able-bodied people.

That’s what the military is all about. If somebody isn’t able to do the job the only excuse is medical and it has to be temporary. Those who can’t only have two choices. Retrain
into a job they can do or get out. Are they saying that nobody can be medically separated anymore?

Fully neutering the best military on earth..

Obama is why the founders excluded the children of foreigners with the natural born citizen clause.

Good Lord. I think they may want to concentrate on basic competence first.

Anyway, because this is a "pledge" - if a woke power that be concludes someone (whose politics they don't like) doesn't pursue this aggressively, can they be cout-maritaled?

Those are lived experiences.

*************

They are whatever its convenient for the Left to call them. Definitions used to be precise whereas now they are flexible, situational and subject to interpretation.

This society has gone stark raving mad.

Sounds to me like for every 100 men walking onto the ship, 50 couples will be walking off.

Just a bunch of politically-correct word salad that is worthy of the international laughing stock that has been installed into the Offal Office.

It is hip to be political correct and woke.

It means when faced with an enemy foreign or domestic, do not use the word enemy. There is no enemy, sin is a fundamental, irrelevant concept. Patriotism is global. Inclusive.
