The Lampooning Of The U.S. Military
BY Herschel Smith

It’s nothing but a joke at this point.
Women in the U.S. Army can soon wear nail polish, lipstick and earrings as well as their hair in more natural hairstyles thanks to what the Army calls “major revisions” to its regulations.
In addition to relaxed grooming standards, women in the Army who are breastfeeding or pumping will also have the option to wear an undershirt.
Not to mention what the concept of women in the military, or even worse, combat MOSs, is doing to capabilities, the idea of hair, necklaces or rings on people is absurd in this context.
Every man who has spent time in an industrial setting around rotating and moving equipment knows better. Hair or anything hanging on your body can get caught and pull you in, decapitating you. Lanyards to hold IDs and other equipment around your neck has to have a “break-away” strap.
My son told me about one guy in the Marines who ignored that standard, jumped off the back of a truck, and got his ring caught on something, pulling his finger off.
Except that this isn’t really a joke. It’s real. The destruction of the U.S. military is nearly complete.
What a gaggle of clowns.

Well, we don’t want to lose more of our Chinese master’s future slaves than necessary when our new overlords come a’conquering, do we?

You do realize the push is on to disarm us before their Chinese masters arrive don’t you ?

Happened to one of our astronauts.

gospace: Exactly! During my first week of pilot training the Flight Surgeon came in with a very interesting picture. It was of a tray holding quite a few fingers that were severed by rings getting caught on something and pulling the finger out of the hand. I haven’t worn a ring since seeing that. I’m sure the military still has some very capable and dedicated officers/NCOs/enlisted folks but articles like this simply reinforce my previous impressions of the rest of it. A sad state of affairs, indeed!

I’ve worked construction most of my life thankfully with no injuries.
This is just nuts on so many levels. I’m sure the CCP and Russia militaries are impressed.

Men provide muscle mass and DNA; women create civilization. What army anywhere doesn’t understand that?

It’s important to look nice when captured.

“Natural” is the key word here. The hairstyles, at least, are a bone thrown to the more colorful females in the Army. If you read any Steve Sailer, black women are obsessed with their hair and being able to wear it “natural”.
In basic back in the early 90’s, guys who had wedding rings they could not remove, a couple of Mormons, had to wrap surgical tape around the ring and finger before doing the obstacle course.

Putin already fired the shot across the bow and warned the “elites” that WAR is coming.
We have the most clueless feckless bunch of Bad News Bears booger eating morons in the history of humanity at the helm.
All branches of MIL were cleared of any who were not betray us Petraeus wannabes under the first two terms of Fundamental Transformation.
Be of good cheer, their reign won’t even last 1000 days.

Many years ago, I visited a paper plant that had just suffered an industrial accident. A female worker got her hair caught up in the rollers of a printing press. It was referred to internally as a “scalping incident”, because that’s what happened. I understand they could hear her screams in Abilene.
Modern hair styles means modern injuries. But that’s not what’s important here. What’s important is imaging for us peasants. Imaging is EVERYTHING with this “administration”. Everything is virtue signalling with this bunch of clowns.

Well, yeah….gotta thin the peasant herd; they’re getting uppity. Same thinking prior to WWI – a good slaughter will reduce the number of unhappy, kinda-revolutionary-thinking proles. Didn’t turn out too well for most of the governments that opted in.

First wife: “Why don’t you wear your wedding ring?”
Me: “Because I like to keep all my fingers.”
First Wife: “But how will people know you are married?”
Me: “Because I know I am married. I don’t need a ring on my finger to remind me.”
First Wife – wore her wedding ring while cheating on me.
I see some guys wearing silicone wedding rings. I wonder, what’s the point? I’m not convinced they will tear off before major damage is done if they get hung up.
