US Marines get first female infantry officer

As I said before, it is not about this one single woman, or an individual. It is about the climate and culture change that the general feminization of the military mean, and the effect it has on somethign that traditonally and for solid biological reason always was consdered as a male domain. The inflation of PTS diagnosis is related to it, the growing poltical correctness policing and hunting down of male offender, the lowering of standards due to a generally pampered or spoiled or helicopter-parented super-surveilled youth; the growing anger amongst male soldiers that only gets expressed when the mike are switched off, the de factor priviliges that fmeales cna enjoy over their male colleagues while calling it feminist equality, which only is half of the truth, and finally the statistics that simply say what they say and therefore get hidden: that females suffer severla times more injuries during their serving in the military, no matter their specific function and post, than males. Male bodies can endure hard labor and physicla stress better than female bodies, the roles of both men and women are planned to be different by mother nature. No ideology and no lawyer will ever change this.And all the work that the ladies cannot do or lack behind with, needs to be comensated for and done addtonally to their own work by their male colleagues. Male colleagues that at the same time gets lectured and told that they should be more gentle, more feminine, more repsonsive, more "soft" in the widest meaning of the word.

Its not about the individual. Its about the culture change for the weaker side of things. The military is less and less attracitve for males that in principle would be attracted by it. And this in time when the neede personnel levels are harder and harder to maintain, especially with those extreme specialists there are. At the same time, especially in Germany, but in Europe in generla I think, soldiers must also bear to be ignored, to be mocked, to be accused as blood-thirsty primitives by a public that has forgotten all understanding for what it is that makes an army strong, and why an army is needed to secure peace and protect freedom. Feminization and infantilization on all levels, everywhere, men today cannot be demanded to be soft and feminine enough.

I have a nice German word for all this: "Verschnullerung". Translated, that maybe would mean "sootherization" (soother=Schnuller).

In the past wars of the past 28 years, we or America had the advanatge of technological superiority over the enemies we have chosen. These enemies were not on same eye level with us, regarding armament, tehcnolgiy, organization, training, and especially we had air superiority. We did not fight anywhere agaunst an equal enemy of comparable strength, we always waged war against an inferior. The weakest opponent has become the standard to which we compare ourselves. Have we lost our marbles? In Afghanistan, we are fighting, or better, we did the fighting do by others, agauinst flocks of shepoards and farmers with medieval wepaons and without much training, logistc, communication. We found ourselves unable to overocme them! The taliban are ruling, stronger than ever. In Iraq, the IS was the result of the big strategy, or lck of, run by the WH. And the IS is anythijg but beaten, I predict we will need to deal with it for much longer time to come, throughout the ME and North Africa. In Vietnam, every field battle was won - still the Americans in the end fled in panick anc chaos.

What have all these our inferior enemies in common? Their tehcncial inferiority. And the greater, their far greater willingness and endurance to bear suffering, sacrifice, and the worst physical misery one can imagine. Living like rats in the dirt, living of handful of rice throughout a week. No refrigerator-cooled coca-cola. No handheld game consoles. No PTS- prophylactic counseling. Just living in the sh!t of it. Voluntarily.

We did not even get clear with farmers and shepard fighting with weapons literally from the stoneage. Now imagine how we would have done against an enemy who is not only physically and psychologically as robust as they are,k but meets our levels of training, technology, weaponry? Since WWII, such a confrontation was avoided both by the Europeans and Washington as well.

I have no good ideas about that.
