Marines no longer allowed to have balls.

Bingo! That, or something as close to it is what is on the agenda. It started with the little boys in kindergarten making gestures.

In the South bless his heart and your Marine instincts are pretty much the same thing.

All the drag queens were booked for library story hours, so they were forced to cancel.

So, in the modern woke era, marines lack balls?

Is this for real? I’m finding only a couple of references to it and some are from twitter.

Zero Blog Thirty is a military-themed podcast by Barstool Sports. The podcast was started by Uncle Chaps, a retired Marine Corps Staff Sergeant and Purple Heart recipient, and co-hosted by Captain Cons, and Kate. Cons is a former Army Captain and West Point graduate, and Kate was a Lance Corporal in the Marines.....................

Spells war for me. I wasn’t a marine, but being from a former Canadian regiment and knowing and understanding tradition that we even did overseas. This is big. Can mean only one thing.

I keep hearing about warnings of terrorist attacks. The government can’t want that to happen - no matter how much they think we are collateral damage. If it does people will definitely not want to give up their guns.

Living just south of Camp Pendleton,.I witness the young Marines when they come into town.

God help us all...our military, including the Marines, is mighty woke and unprepared for a serious war.

The Marine Corp ball has been cancelled for the past two years. This year makes it the third.

Trump says he’s a war time President. My take is that the marines have been deployed throughout the US (and elsewhere) since Trump put the country into COG and left DC on AF1 with the football. Hence the cancellation of the ball. For two years they cried covid. This year its because of having to “protect the country”.

The US Central Command is located at McDill AFB in Tampa, FL. So hardly in the theater of operations beaten zone.

Since it is a solemn commemoration of the Marine Corps heritage (past, present, and future), the “cake cutting” ceremony on 10 November is mandatory (even if the cake is C-rat fruit cake (remember that?) with a candle stuck in it).

The MC Ball is not. Outright cancellation is a surprise. A delay until the operational situation calms down would be more appropriate.

Bless his heart is what I think you are supposed to say.
