LGBTQXYZ-ing our military
God forbid one of our service members hurts the feelings of our nation’s enemies.
The authoritarian effort to scrub everything and anything masculine out of education has moved on to our nation’s military. We told you earlier about the drag queen who performs show tunes on the USS Ronald Reagan. Now that the Navy has become sufficiently woke and PC, attention is being focused on another branch of the armed forces:
An infantry battalion commander sacked in the middle of a deployment with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, was at least partially fired for allegedly using a term that could be disparaging to members of the LGBTQ community, Marine Corps Times has learned.
Following a vandalism incident during a port call visit by the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock New York in Gaeta, Italy, Lt. Col. Marcus J. Mainz, the commander of 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, allegedly used the term “faggot” or “faggoty” during a meeting with the 2/6 Battalion Landing Team leaders, multiple sources have told Marine Corps Times.
Corps officials have said Lt. Col. Marcus J. Mainz was fired May 19 over a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. […]
This is not about equal rights or civil rights or anything like that. This is about force-feeding a radical agenda down Americans’ throats and demanding they LIKE IT. It’s not about letting an ‘excluded’ group in, it’s about changing yourself to meet the agenda of the activists supporting said ‘excluded group.’
Firing somebody for something that MAY offend less than 0.5% of the total US population?
Leftists will talk a good game about just wanting equal, fair treatment. Just try to obtain said equal, fair treatment for your devout Christian views.
It’s not just the military. The left’s iron fist creeps into men’s athletics as well. The jack-booted left spent years trying to run Bobby Knight out of college basketball for his ‘potty-mouth.’ At my alma mater, George Washington University, our basketball coach got fired right after winning the NIT. The reason? He screamed at players and directed crude language at them.
Seriously. WHO among us — over the age of 30 — who has either played organized sports or served in the military, has not experienced crude talk from a coach or a drill sergeant?
Old school vets I talk with tell me the experience made them better soldiers and sailors and airmen. For the longest time, the tough talk — the “meanness” — was an exercise in getting the team to bond with each other. Drill sergeant is not going to be with you in battle. Your squad-mates will be. Your coach will not be on the court or the field with you. Your fellow teammates will be.
If you’re sitting in The Marines worrying about your feelings getting hurt — trust me, there are a lot of folks out there looking to hurt a lot more than your feelings. Get over yourself.
As a Navy vet I am sick of all this feel good PC crap. If you were a little fag in my Navy, you were gone. We don’t need drag queens, gays, lezbos or confused transsexuals in our military. Screw this Clinton/Obama liberal garbage. Oh, and If anything I just said hurt your feelings, GOOD, because I could give a crap about your feelings!
MANY LGBTQ sailors, soldiers, and marines have served our country bravely over the history of our Country. You were shoulder to shoulder with them. They may have saved your life and were certainly fighting for our freedoms.
The philosophy of today’s politically motivated military escapes me. Having just reviewed the Bill of Rights, I have not found listed the right to join the military. Why is mission effectiveness, unit cohesion, and outright cost suffer for PC? Enter the USS Ford offering “gender-neutral” heads, in order to maintain flexibility, there are no urinals at the expense of floor space and sanitation. Remember guys to lift the seat…..
Officers, Coaches, and leaders of any type who show disrespect to their charges don’t get the maximum out of those they are supposed to be motivating. The military, athletic coaches, and other team leaders have learned that you can motivate and achieve “team” objectives AND build better “team” members by showing respect to the whole group. Yes, I was belittled by leadership in my past AND I did not respect those leaders as a result. When in a respected and disciplined role the whole group will achieve its best.
No doubt you were lower ranked enlisted and did not understand the “chain of command.” And, no doubt there was good reason you were belittled. If you had been under my command I simply would have had you relieved of duty. Now, go sit in the corner, sip on a box of juice, hug your blanky, and cry.
