A New Fighting Force... But What Are They Training to Fight?

I read an article today about a new diversity training course forced on cadets at the Air Force Academy. Part of the training is the "proper use of pronouns" so no one gets offended. This might be the single, most stupid "woke" agenda I've ever seen.

Besides the usual "they/them," non-gender specific pronouns, cadets are being instructed not to use pronouns like "mom and dad." The reason? There are fellow cadets who may not have had both parents and they could be offended or hurt by these words that could make them feel excluded.

I'm sorry... (not really)... that's just stupid. A grown adult who gets their feelings hurt because someone else had both parents and they didn't has no business in military service. Imagine one of these pampered snowflakes being captured by the enemy. All their captors will have to do is tell them "You didn't have a mommy (or daddy)" and they will be spilling information freely. Why? Because that's how they were allowed to react at the Academy. They're being taught that their feelings matter, even in the military. What a crock.

I was stationed at the Air Force Academy for four years when I was in the Air Force. I wasn't a cadet but a medic at the base hospital. I was there in 1979, the last class to graduate all men. LCWB (Last Class With Balls) became the unofficial class motto. Sexist? Yep. Disrespectful? Probably. But you know what? No one got really upset about it. There were no diversity classes, no crying rooms or puppies. Seniors were told to keep their mouths shut about it. So they did... publicly.

The way the Academy is today makes me wonder if crying rooms and puppies have infiltrated the campus. Will our future pilots be trained how to resist the wrong pronouns in survival training? Let's just hope our enemies aren't paying attention to our ridiculous demands for them. 

A Civics Lesson On Live TV

 

Things learned from Martha's Vinyard and the state of Massachusetts this week:

1. It's OK to say you support and accept all people even if you really don't.

2. It's OK to tell the world you can't house 50 illegal aliens on your island even though you have hundreds of empty hotel rooms at the time (because tourist season is over.)

3. It's OK to tell the world you can't absorb 50 illegal immigrants even when you profess to be a sanctuary for them (and have hundreds of empty hotel rooms.)

4. It's OK to use the National Guard to get rid of them.

5. It's OK to condemn border states for relocating tens of thousands of illegal immigrants for which they truly do not have the resources to handle even as you remove 50 of them from your neighborhood in less than 48 hours (claiming a lack of resources in one of the most posh places in America. Did I mention the empty hotel rooms?)

6. And it's perfectly OK for Democrats, from the President on down, to relocate illegal aliens anywhere, anytime, and for any reason, but if Republicans do it it's kidnapping, human trafficking, etc., etc.

All those lessons learned from one small plane full of "undocumented immigrants just seeking a better life" and/or "refugees just seeking a better/safer life.

And the last and most important lesson?

You don't have to tolerate illegal immigrants in your neighborhood if you have money.
