In a real departure from normal procedures, the skipper left the weatherdecks open during the full power run, crash astern, and crash ahead testing. ... everyone else secures the decks to avoid possible mishaps. (when I told him that) He gave me a disgusted look and formed an upside down triangle with his hands. He said that one of his missions was the "depussification of the Navy."Click here to read the whole thing.
Wow.
The powers that BE have made a severe miscalculation.
They shoved through the repeal of don't ask, don't tell. They ignored survey's that they themselves commissioned on the subject.
They're shoving through women in ground combat units and the Army is allowing women to go to Ranger School. That in and of itself indicates that Special Operations will be open to women and if you complete Ranger School then going to the Ranger Indoctrination Program (is that what its called?) will certainly be allowed....
They've done all this in a compressed time frame and they believe that the troops are happy?
Not even close.
The hollow armed forces of the 70's are going to look like a power house compared to what we will have if President Obama is re-elected. Thank God we're seeing some push back.
its been several months and dont ask dont tell seems to be gone without major issue, i think its presumptuous to say women wont make good rangers, if they dont then you have reason to complain but wait until you see what happens.
ReplyDeletewhen you say stuff like that you're putting a neon sign on your forehead that says i've never served in the military .... i'lll be as presumptiuous as i like. women will suck at being rangers.
ReplyDeleteyou don't know what teh fuck you're talking about.
Solomon, generally I like your blog. But when post stuff like this you lose me. I would just like to remind that not everyone that serves shares your bigoted views.... How about showing a little bit more professionalism.
