The Diminishing Of The Western Militaries

Beginning with the UK:
… last year it launched its ‘Belonging’ recruitment campaign, which assured would-be soldiers that the army is an emotionally correct outfit that provides psychological validation to its recruits. One ad showed a tearful soldier in a jungle opening a letter from a loved one, while his comrades offered him a cup of tea.

And yet instead of learning from the failures of the ‘Belonging’ campaign, the army has decided to go even further down the road of presenting itself as a cuddly, non-challenging, soppy institution. Its new PR campaign features posters and TV ads calling on ‘snowflakes’, ‘selfie addicts’, ‘class clowns’, ‘phone zombies’ and ‘me me me millennials’ to sign up. One poster says: ‘Snowflakes – your army needs YOU and your compassion.’
Moving on to the U.S. Marine Corps:
The Corps is the only branch of service that has not fully integrated male and females together at recruit training. Could that be about to change?
ABC News first reported Friday that a female platoon will integrate with male platoons aboard the recruit depot at Parris Island, South Carolina.
“On January 5, 2019, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island will start their training cycle with one female platoon and five male platoons,” the Marine Corps said in a statement.
Then let’s cover two members of Army Green Berets:
A former 7th Special Forces Group soldier and a West Virginia National Guard Special Forces soldier pleaded guilty Dec. 21 and Dec. 17, respectively, to two federal charges each of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, according to court documents and a release from the Justice Department.
Former Master Sgt. Daniel Gould, 36, and Sgt. 1st Class Henry Royer, 35, had planned to smuggle 90 pounds of cocaine ― about $1 million worth ― on a military transport plane from Colombia to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, according to federal court documents.
“Suspicion was aroused at the United States Embassy when packages were x-rayed, revealing cocaine within gutted out punching bags,” the DoJ release said.
The communist agenda is nearly complete.

I went through Parris Island, Marine Combat Training (1 month of Infantry training), and Radio School in 1989. All-male training until radio school.
We were absolutely shocked at how little the female Marines could do physically. They dropped out of every PT session. They could barely carry their gear in to the barracks – the same gear we had been humping 20 to 40 miles regularly at MCT. (I hear MCT is now co-ed and a complete joke)
I was mostly in the infantry but did an unpleasant stint in a Civil Affairs Reserve unit. Usually when we went out to the field, the WMs stayed behind and pretended to be busy with other things. One day they came with us to the urban warfare course – and one of them immediately broke her leg doing a spider-drop.
I could talk about the absolute cluster-f*^ks I saw in Desert Shield / Desert Storm from women in units they had no business being in… not enough time or space.

War is the Great Arbiter for all who become engaged in armed conflict.
There will be no second chances for second class troops.

I went through West Point with the first class with women (1980). What a joke they were. Fall out of every PT session. Take truck rides to Camp Buckner, while us guys marched there through the mountains. Even in academics they couldn’t cut it. Disgusting. And full of man-hating dykes. Thus Jimmy Carter destroyed a once-fine institution. And the faculty was riddled with careerist officers who were zealots for integrating women, and would bust your ass if you had a different opinion.
