Have they started issuing 12 inch heel battle pumps yet?
I've been in the Army for over 20 years now, and I've watched it get soft. My statement isn't some kind of "this generation is weak" old man statement. It's the current generals that are weak... and they're older than me. Instead of pushing back in the vein of "sorry, Mr. President, but your political agenda doesn't help us win a war" they go along with whatever bullshit (currently it's "diversity, equity, and inclusion") and pretend that it somehow makes us stronger. I watched them walk back a superior physical assessment test because it was too hard for women to get a maximum score, and then try to sell the walk back as something that's in everyone's best interest. Sadly, these lessons will be learned in blood. When we actually have to fight a real army that can shoot, move, and communicate, the 7.62 rounds won't care about the need for equity because of some sort of perceived historic discrimination. It will kill the people who aren't as prepared, as well as some of those who are, because the whole force isn't what it could be. But hey, at least we put out a positive message to make 2% of the force feel better about who they want to have sex with. /endrant
