This is the most depressing thing I have read in a long time.
Just remember, any of the NATO “allies” are much worse than this.
Putin thinks about this stuff and says to himself: forget the supposed inbalance in military capability, we can take these guys.
I’m sure Trump will want to change this PC crap, but it is likely that either Congress will block him, or the courts will.
If the US military is so far down the PC rabbit hole that servicemen get killed and nothing changes... I wish Trump every success but this may not be a salvageable situation.
I agree and think that unfortunately what is required for this to change is for a critical mass of the REMFs and/or those dear to them to be injured/killed. The number of casualties for this to happen is likely to be much higher than many of us estimate because these REMFs do a very good job of shifting blame, to anything but their policies.
I think the CIC will have a profound effect, and so will Mattis even though he leans left he still loves the Corps. Promotions should be earned instead of politicized, too. THAT would be a 5-star general change.
