I honestly believe that many young people in our society get most of their “grounding in reality” about war from watching movies and TV shows like Star Trek, G.I. Jane, The Matrix, Crouching Tiger, etc. After watching 110# girls karate kick 300# bikers into unconsciousness a few hundred times, fantasy replaces reality. It’s a Hollywood brainwash.

I dread what is coming to our military and our nation the next time we are forced to fight a major war not on our terms, that is, with Predator drones, laser- and GPS-guided missiles, total air superiority at all times, etc.

Sooner or later, we’re going to find ourselves in a situation like Korea, 1950. Shocked, unprepared, and unready. With an enemy nearly as well equipped as we are. An enemy that will not be using bugles and flares for commo, as they did in 1950.

But like in 1950, it might be an enemy that does not care about losing thousands of troops per day for as long as it takes to prevail, since they have 50 million “excess” males anyway, and their masters would like to cull that number down.

Our PC military of sold-out perfumed prince generals, simpering queers and 110# girls is going to be in for one hell of a surprise, when it turns out that real war does not resemble Star Trek or G.I. Jane. Just imagine how many delustional skydancers there are out there.

Okay, so when you guys need help ....

It is my understanding that your hypothetical enemy is long fighting men and our side is short qualified Troopers, correct?

You are also indicate that our perfumed Princes are mucking up the Military for political reasons, by lowering the standards so social engineering can take place.

I agree with you. The high elite standards should remain the same for all candidates. They cannot and should not be "dumbed" down. If the target PC Troopers fail the qualifications, they fail. I don't understand why failing is such a bad thing. We need the best qualified Trooper for the mission. We do not need the best PC Trooper for the mission. Why is it so difficult for our Perfumed Princes to argue this and stand their ground? They shouldn't back down.

But you also support my position that we should maximize the talent pool as long as the elite standards remain the same or get tougher and politics do not muck up the eligibility process.
