Defense Bill Gives Pentagon $1 Million for ‘Gender Advisors'
2018-09-29
[Free Beacon] The defense spending bill passed by the House of Representatives Wednesday includes $1 million for the Pentagon to hire "gender advisors."

An amendment sponsored by Democrats passed by voice vote to give women "a seat at the table" during diplomatic negotiations.

"When women's voices are heard, they can be catalysts for change‐especially when it comes to peace," said Rep. Lois Frankel (D., Fla.), after her amendment was included in the defense spending bill.

The amendment authorizes $1 million in taxpayer-funding for the Department of Defense to hire "gender advisors" and for training on "gender perspectives at the war colleges."

"I'm thrilled my amendment securing funding for women in security efforts passed today, which will: (1) provide $3 million for our military branches to implement the Women, Peace and Security Act, helping countries to integrate women into security efforts and (2) Provide the Department of Defense $1 million to hire gender advisors who will assist in military missions and training to make sure more women are involved in foreign operations," Frankel said. "Women can create long-lasting peace‐let's give them a seat at the table!"

The text of the amendment specifically calls for $900,000 for training on the "meaningful participation of women" and $100,000 for training on "gender perspectives."

#5  Gender advisors. Those poor individuals who get those jobs. Just imagine their first day even on the job.
Where will they work? What building will they occupy? The Office ?
Does the Office have windows ?
Who will they report to? The Pentagon is a big place. You can't even go about INSIDE the parking Lot without a special Pass. The passes are coded only for certain areas for Security reasons. Marine Guards are everyplace....and they will shoot you, its sorta their job. Stay in your specified area and you will have a bathroom facility . But even 1$$ Million dollars extended over a years time isn't a lot. You poor bastard. By day two or three you will begin to understand and you will have time to think about the rest of the 365 days ahead. Imagine advising General Matthis on strange and various "Genders". Will he offer you a chair? Imagine a title printed on your Office Door. Just imagine. "When women's voices are heard..." Imagine.

Hey Lois, war vs. peace decided by the elected civilian leadership - the purpose of the military is to break things and kill people.
