#2 Are we losing our military to woke politics?

It was "lost" many years ago. What was once obvious to only those in uniform, is now obvious to everyone.

#5 It was woke before there was 'woke' as higher ups made clear they did not want to hear the truth about women in the ranks. There were and probably are still a lot of women who can perform the jobs, but there were far more that could not. That meant others had to pull more than their share which creates morale and integrity problems. Do you recall the theater commander who threaten to courts martial the next one who got pregnant and the uproar from Congresscritters. Cause you get pregnant, you get moved out of theater and someone else has to be sent to cover the job.

They should go back to an auxiliary corps not just for women but also males that could no longer do line duty. In one support unit I had the best troops were physically reclassified line soldiers who OJT'd. They enjoyed working mostly in doors and going home to see momma every night.

#7 The Army had a perfectly functional Women's Army Corps. It was dismantled in 1978 and the women were integrated into the male ranks. It's been a struggle since 1978.

#12 Do you recall the theater commander who threaten to courts martial the next one who got pregnant

I believe it was our Marine captain —Broadhead6 (?) — who complained about a few of his female troops deliberately getting pregnant so they wouldn’t have to join the unit being shipped to whichever Sandbox it was, and having to pull people from elsewhere to fill their positions.

Marine Corps Account Says It ‘Messed Up’ in Response to Fox’s Carlson

[EpochTimes] A U.S. Marine Corps unit’s Twitter account says it “messed up” in its comments while responding to Fox News host Tucker Carlson as part of a debate over his commentary about U.S. servicewomen.

The official account for the II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group used a pejorative on social media in responding to Carlson’s recent statements on how the military should be focused more on adversaries and less on culture issues.

The Marines shared a picture of a female soldier carrying a male one and tagged Carlson, writing that the photo showed “what it looks like in today’s armed forces.”

“Get right before you get left, boomer,” the account said, using a word widely considered a pejorative term.

After intense pushback for using an official military account to slam a private citizen, the Marines unit said: “We are human and we messed up. What was intended as a tweet in support of our female Marines and sisters serving in uniform was clearly not aligned with our standard practices or an appropriate representation of the Marine Corps. We will do better and serve the people.”

“We can do better and we will collectively take a knee, review our procedures and get back in the fight. Our focus is to train, fight and win and we have a hard time doing that without your support,” the Marines’ account added in another tweet.

The Department of Defense inspector general didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The situation was the latest development in an ongoing clash between Carlson and the military, with some of the force’s highest officials lambasting the Fox News host for his views.
