Hagel declares war on troops’ pin-up girls

Chuck Hagel has his priorities.

The country’s in the middle of a war against terrorists. The administration he serves all but admits the military he’s in charge of can’t or won’t back up tough talk to Syria. But the Defense secretary keeps his eyes on the prize.

According to the Military Times, Hagel has ordered inspections to make sure American soldiers, sailors and marines the world over have only G-rated material in their workplace.

The mission is to ensure there are no “materials that create a degrading or offensive work environment,” Military Times reports.

According to the paper, the effort will be similar to one performed by the Air Force last year that “prompted officers to scour troops’ desks and cubicles in search of photos, calendars, magazines, screen-savers, computer files and other items that might be considered degrading toward women.”(continued)

I'm reading Tapper's book about the battle for Outpost Keating in Afghanistan in 2006/2007.

What those guys went through is horrific. I can't imagine what they think when they read about what preoccupies their commanders.

Apparently Hagel does not have a problem with pictures of gay butt boys in the barracks. Only pictures of hot looking women are banned.

Fags and dykes are okay, though.

How the heck will the troops know what they are fighting for? :)

Chucky Schmagel is beyond redemption. He might actually top Shillery in pure incompetence by the time his tenure is over.

Does Hagel permit pin-up girls in Burkas? Just asking.

Just another in a long line of reasons all the good people are leaving the military...which is the desired leftist outcome.

A pussified American military is no threat to Islam.

Apparently, all we won was a delaying action.

We didn’t win against the Commies in the Cold War. I thought we did, too, but we didn’t. That becomes clearer all the time.

pornography is stupid and counterproductive but I get the feeling this is not what they are discussing

I remember when the first female mechanic came to our helicopter maintenance shop in the mid-nineties. We had to pull down the Killian Girls and other posters of bikini-clad women. For shame!

At least we weren’t strip-searched and our desks and computers subject to a ransacking, as Hagel is apparently suggesting.

The next declaration will be to actually neuter the male members of the military...

It will be renamed the Eunuchitary

Well we did win against the communists in the Cold War. They didn't beat us. We beat us.

Is Hagel trying to enforce the Islamic Sharia laws?
