Wow. With just a few words, women and men are becoming "equal" in the military.
This, from the Marine Corps Times:
There's more, of course.This, from the Marine Corps Times:
The Marine Corps has been ordered to come up with a plan to make its enlisted entry-level training co-ed, and to make its job titles more gender-neutral following the recent move to open all military combat roles to women.
In a Jan. 1 memo to Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus requested a "detailed plan" on how the service will fully integrate its boot camp and Officer Candidate School. The plan is due Jan. 15 and will be implemented by April 1, the memo states.
But it's not even approaching "equality."
If it were, then, for example, there would be absolutely no difference in physical training standards... or body fat/weight standards.
After all, there's no such thing as "situational equality."
And let's not forget hair and appearance standards.
Does that mean that women have to wear THEIR hair as short as the men?
No?
WHY NOT?
"Equality," of course, is a double-edged sword.
The military now expects and demands equality and gender neutrality.
Except, of course, where they don't.
True equality is something else again. True equality demands that pregnancy be banned. After all, men can't become pregnant. So why allow women that ability?
The uniform for women is becoming more masculine... are they going to continue to be allowed to wear ANY make up on duty? Fingernail polish? Rings, save for a wedding band? Any type of ear adornment while in uniform?
Of course they are.
And NONE of the women who have complained about a lack of equality in the military up until now will EVER complain about these ongoing lacks of that same tenet when it comes to things they LIKE... oh, no... they wouldn't THINK of it.
This is the thin veneer of "equality" for public consumption... another lie the leftists can point to and say, "See? Look! The Republicans never would have done this!"
A far back as when I was in the military, the Army ran with the label "equakity."
Between the genders... and the races.
And then, of course, to prove how "equal" they are, they have race based history months and gender based history months... except, of course, for caucasion males.
Then along came affirmative action.
Officer ascension programs, for example, were frequently race-based.
And if their is EVER any place where merit should be the ONLY determinant for promotion, schools and command... it should be the US military.
But nope.
And is that going to continue? Or will we ever see the day when fake race equality joins with the now increasingly fake gender equality of the military and we stop hearing about the things that make us different instead of focusing and strengthening the things that make everyone in the military the same?
Not in my life time we won't.
