Marine Corps Goes Woke

[TheParser]

Some (many?) people sincerely believe that diversity is our strength.

They may be right.

Some (many?) people (privately, of course) disagree.

I have read that in Vietnam there was diversity among the troops, and there was also some unpleasant incidents between two American ethnicities (no need to be specific).

I have read that even today in Japan where some American troops are stationed, there is some de facto separation between those two ethnicities when it comes to, say, bars that they attend.

*****

I am probably wrong, but I get the feeling that during World War II, American troops would NOT have had the esprit de corps that they had if the troops had "reflected the diversity" of the nation.


*****

I do not blame the Marine Corps for falling in line. It has no choice. Today's zeitgeist is diversity.

And as the Caucasian population continues to shrink, the other ethnicities will come to the forefront.

The nation is changing.

For the better, some say.

Maybe not, others opine.

But one thing is certain: Change is inevitable.

I have no doubt you would have been one of those fighting against allowing black people to join back in the day, or women for that matter.

I spent Spring Break at Paris Island and Laurel Bay. They have Black Marines.

Retired Maj. James Capers Jr. was the first prominently featured black Marine on a Marine Corps recruiting poster. (Marine Corps) Capers is likely the first black Marine featured prominently on a Marine Corps recruiting poster. He is also possibly the first black Marine to receive a battlefield commission in the Vietnam War.

Beaufort is a great town. I love that whole area.

Not serve our country---they are willing to get military paid sex changes, oh and my favorite claim mental issues after a couple of years to get military disability for life, and use the military as an excuse to stay over and bring in dozens of family or those who claim to be family over among other things.

So tell me Turtleshit if they are on the Frontline while the real patriots are at home hiding what do you call that? If you are not willing to walk the walk, then you damn sure can't talk the talk.

Nope. I'm a firm believer in people doing what they want to do.

Many blacks are Marines, Green Berets, SEALS and every other faction of the military. If they can make the grade, then they are what they want to be.

There's no such thing as a hyphenated Marine.

Trump agrees with you.. He calls them suckers and losers. You should probably read the Constitution .. before you talk about changing it. Did you go to college or university?

Our enemies are not Iraqis or Afghanis. Our enemies are the sicko idiots that steal elections, selling out the US to the Chinese and are turning our once great country into a Socialists Shithole.

You should have told that to Reagan and the Bushes.

Do you still actually believe that the election was stolen or that anyone sold out to the Chinese.. .. or that Americans want socialism?

Diversity is shit.

"We aren't black or white, we were green!"

Berger is wrong.

The Military is being infiltrated by the Left and poisoned with wokeness (as every aspect of America)

It will destroy this once great country and turn it into a shithole.

Did you ever serve in the military?

So you got out when you were 37-38? Why would you say such ugly things about the US military? Leave that to draft dodgers like Trump.

So now you are in your 70s and trashing the military.

Hell yea. I have the right to "trash" the military when they become a tool of making this country a Socialist shithole. All Americans do.

Diversity and stupid wokeness will make them weak. Getting rid of the White Patriots who have traditionally been the backbone of the military and defenders of the Constitution and replacing them with queers and worthless affirmative action Negroes that don't give a shit about the Constitution will greatly weaken the military.

Too bad idiot Moon Bats like you don't understand that.

You aren't trashing the military. The military that created admiration and loyalty no longer exists. We honor their memory the same way we remember 300 Spartans and the Welsh bowmen of Agincourt.
