08 Oct 2012Goodbye To The Army And Marines: Political Correctness Has Taken Over

Political correctness has been the rule in the Air Force for quite some time.

[Travis McGee]

"My son routinely hauled 120 pound(+) kit off the line as a fleet Marine, including his time in Fallujah, Iraq, between body armor (including SAPI plates), backpack, weapon, SAW drums plus ammunition, hydration system, and so on and so forth. Recall this picture from the assault into Helmand in the summer of 2009? This Marine is carrying his kit plus a mortar plate. He is probably crossing the line at greater than 150 pounds."

The bitter fruit of liberalism, fantasism, and self-esteemism.

An easy rebuttal to “Dr. Steve Metz, Professor at the U.S. Army War College”.

“Doctor, based on who you are and what you do, have the Boy Scouts of America threatened to behead you, murder your entire adult family, and rape your underage daughters and force them to convert to ‘Boy Scout-ism’, where they have to live in enclosed pens like animals for the rest of their short and unhappy lives; while ordering your underage boys to blow themselves up with bombs in crowds full of innocent people for a merit badge or something?”

[Chainmail]

I am in complete agreement with the author. Besides these important parts, we should also thank our idiot leaders with the repeal of DADT: now we have to deal with the homosexual networks and preferences. Immensely corrosive and destructive to morale and discipline and further reduces the combat effectiveness we need to stay free. Gen. Amos is the worst Commandant in our Corp’s history.

[DuncanWaring]

When I was much younger, I spent some time running around the woods carrying about 70 pounds on my back, which was about half my body weight at the time.

Darned near killed me.

[CodeToad]

Ther PC has gone so bad that we see soldiers get killed by the enemy while they stand there unarmed...and military officers claim those being killed are too stupid and clumsy to have wepaons, and that while some may die from being unarmed, even more would be killed by their clumsy handling of weapons if they were armed. In WWII if a military soldier was on the ground he had a weapon. Today, they go unarmed.

[dagogo redux]

This came to me via the CW2 ping list (Thank you!), so let me just say: When the SHTF, we will be pitted against a military that even fears the Boy Scouts.

[OldGoatCPO]

It was not Amos, it was the POS Admiral Mullins that forced DADT down our throats, pun intended. Amos nearly lost his job speaking out against the repeal. The Blue Navy and the Powder Blue Air Force forced this on the green side warfighters and continue to push political correctness to the point of it being damaging to our military. That said, the vast majority of Marines and Sailors are shining examples of the very best their generation(s) have to offer!

Correct

[DesertRhino]

The author is kind right, kinda wrong. He thinks he knows about Marine grunts. He doesn’t. But he’s correct about women not belonging there.

[bayouranger]

I’d go for a knock out 1st but you conveyed my thoughts perfectly, thanks!

[NFHale]

Expletives deleted ahead of time, since I know the Mods will deleted what I want to say...

The c-suckers responsible for this crap need to be...never mind....

[TADSLOS]

I’m so sick of the PC, social engineering petri dish that our military has become, I just want to puke.

Mark my words, once women start showing up with the Black & Gold Ranger tab, the "G.I. Jane" SEAL will be next. You watch they'll show up at DEVGRU and S.F.O.D.-D. It's one thing to get the training -- for what is Ranger School but leadership training? But that's not what the progressives want, is it? They want operational parity. Death by a thousand cuts.
