Political Correctness Has Destroyed The Army's Readiness And Morale
2015-05-12
h/t Instapundit
The U.S. Army is facing its greatest danger as an institution since the 1970's. Stricken with morale and readiness problems, it is also under attack from leftist social engineers who are determined to remake the Army, even if they have to destroy it.

In the 1980's, men who carried the burden of terrible lessons learned in Vietnam rebuilt the U.S. Army. They created a spectacularly professional force that annihilated Saddam's legions in a defeat not seen since Agincourt.

That Army is nearly extinct.

#6  Hey Kids you have less than a year and a half to go - resist the ashholes in the Wet Dream House at 1600, grow a pair and start fighting back. PC is so the 90's check the calendar, we are almost through the second decade of the 21st Century. The Brits wised-up, why can't you ?

#5  Sorry #1, but "losing wars", or perhaps more accurately = PCorrectly "not winning" a war(s), is part of the Bammer's + Globies' agenda.

#4  The Army I knew is going the way of the NSA I knew. I am terrified it may grow the same direction as the NSA did.

#3  That was the intent all along. There are precious few institutions left in the US which teach real values. The military has been one of them. Ergo, it is under attack.

This isn't about women. It's about gay weddings in the West Point Chapel. It's about commanders who can't use the word "Muslim." It's about purging the ranks of Christians, forbidding soldiers to listen to Rush Limbaugh or read Glenn Beck. It is Stalinist and part of a real campaign to remake the military into just another failed liberal fever swamp.

#2  The Army has been ordered to allow women into the combat arms and special operations. Previously, women were denied these jobs because women do not possess the upper body strength that the combat arms requires. Women are also more prone to injuries and there are hygienic concerns as well.

This is the big lie! Women have served quite capably and with aplomb and distinction in Special Operations units at the 'Tier One' level for decades.

#1  Losing wars is bad for a president's popularity and job approval ratings, possibly bad for his party's prospects in the next election. Just sayin'.
