"no one fears the combat readiness of the US army"

I doubt that's entirely true but to the extent that it is accurate is because of the multiple failures over the past 20-30 years of our leaders. Today, there is much less respect of a military whose commander has trouble speaking in complete sentences & climbing stairs and a brass more concerned the pronouns of delusion soldiers who don't know what a man or woman is. Our govt has become a joke because the Leftists are idiots promoting asinine policies.
They SHOULD fear the combat capabilities of the US Army.

unfortunately, there is nothing about a male soldier wearing a dress that will be helpful when it comes to sending messages of deterrence to dictatorships. It screams softness, unpreparedness, lack of focus, etc..... And then when such entices an enemy to miscalculate, they get mauled by an army that is awesomely capable in spite of a few sissies in skirts.

Doesn't matter how incapable is your opponent. You still have to go destroy him. That costs a tremendous amount of money.

The combat capabilities has nothing to do with a handful of soldiers wearing a dress in their off time.

If allowed to complete a mission, there is still no force on the planet that is better than the US military. It is more than a simple soldier to soldier comparison. The power is in the combined arms, teamed with interlinked command and control supported by logistics. The strength of the US is the NCO corps which is developed at a much higher level than the rest of the world. It is much more than a handful of soldiers.

Don't get me wrong there are great soldiers and units around the world. Some better in individual missions or areas than the US counterparts, but landing and supporting a complete Army that can accomplish a mission? The US still has the best capabilities and ability.

I agree with Whiterock on this.

With regards to the military, Colonel Crossdresser is telling the heterosexual male enlisted carrying the rifles what they can and cannot do. For those of you who wore the BDUs in SE Asia or the ACUs in the middle east, this is not the same military you were part of.

Air Force Academy Highlights Transgender Officer At Leadership Summit

"The speech comes as the Pentagon has promoted a leftwing agenda, asking for a whopping $114 million in fiscal year 2024 alone to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts such as "unconscious bias diversity training," and "training programs and diversity and inclusion initiatives," a Daily Wire investigation revealed. The Air Force's LGBT Initiatives Team, which Fram has helped lead, has also pushed leftwing ideology in the military, celebrating transgender day of visibility.

The far-left ideological capture of America's military coincides with an unprecedented recruiting crisis, with the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy all missing their recruiting goals in fiscal year 2023 and a particularly sharp decline in white recruits. Republican officials have warned that the politicization of the military could be alienating citizens who would otherwise consider joining the armed forces.

After publication of this story, an Air Force spokesman said the academy "was fortunate to have Col Bree Fram speak."

"Her talk reinforced the value of diversity within our military and the importance of removing unnecessary barriers to service," the spokesman said. "Col Fram has had a distinguished career in both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Space Force and has used her experience and leadership to support our warfighting mission as well as inclusion within the Armed Forces."

The spokesperson also stated that it is the official position of the Air Force Academy that men can become women, adding that "intentional misgendering" may constitute discrimination.

"Consistent with DoD and DAF policy, yes, the U.S. Air Force Academy recognizes that an individual's internal or personal sense of gender may not match the individual's sex assigned at birth," the spokesman told The Daily Wire upon being asked whether or not the academy believed that people can legitimately change their sex. The spokesman went on to say that "intentional misgendering of an individual may be considered harassment or discrimination under our Equal Opportunity policies."

This isn't regular military, but this is what the US armed forces is beginning to look like under Biden:

Not sure how big an issue it is to the airman, sailor and soldier. I have two nephews in Air Force, one a lifer, neither say the stuff in the newspaper impacts them or that they hear about it. One is on F-35 crew and the other is an AWACS crew (not flight crew, ground crew).

Sometime what is big to the media and politicians has no impact on the day to day life of people serving. Granted my experience is enlisted, not officer. May be different for officers.

Thanks for the perspective. I dudes get it gets much attention because of the media, on both sides. It is reassuring to think that most soldiers, sailors, and airmen pay little to no attention to that stuff. It inspires confidence since the ordinary soldiers have always been the backbone of our military. However, if the officer corps has been polluted as much as it might seem then it is a scary situation. The officers provide the leadership and that is very important, especially in dicey circumstances.

Well, from what they tell me at least with the air crews, I was a soldier, in the Air Force the risks are so great if they don't do their job the focus is 100% in keeping those planes flyable. No one wants to be responsible for a plane going down or a radar not functioning when needed. Makes sense to me, the margin of error for flight is so much smaller.

A buddy of mine in SA, his son is a Gunny in the Marines and works on F35s, just finished 2 year Drill Instructor, says the same thing. To them, it is all about the planes and keeping their pilots alive. The other stuff is O-Club banter.

Nice to know they are intelligent and have their priorities straight. That's why we can all be proud of our armed forces, despite many stupid things coming from leaders.

Just curious: is that Lackland or Randolph? I'm pretty familiar with both.

My other nephew is at Tinker at OKC. When he finishes there he will be eligible for AK or Japan.

I do know that in units like the 82nd and other Rapid Deployment Units it is not much different from the 80's when I was there. Those issues are self-policed. The guys I talked to last time at Hood, said the same (Forward Observer). I don't know how much of it is a unit issue or a "Garrison" issue.

Believe it or not, this afternoon I bumped into the only Christian I have ever known who lives in Bethlehem.

( He was on a business trip )


I asked him how were things in the Holy Land.

He said that without a doubt things have never been worse.
Food prices have skyrocketed, people were literally dying of starvation and war had resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs.

Said for the first time in his life Christians were not allowed to celebrate Christmas in Bethlehem. That they probably wouldn't be allowed to celebrate Easter this year either .

Who did he blame ?

' Zionists'

BTW he felt compelled to WHISPER all this while looking around .




We live in amazing times .

Brave man if so. Christianity in Bethlehem has been under fire for decades, but not from zionists. I'm sure the war in Gaza has made the PA and Muslims even more disdainful of their fellow Christian residents, so I guess that is an indirect responsibility. For what it's worth, Israel has no say over what celebrations do or do not occur in Bethlehem. That's PA managed territory.

My experience was as an officer, got out as an O-4 after reading the tea leaves. Also depends when you served. Enlisted in Vietnam or Desert Shield is probably going have a very different view of the military than an officer during or after Obama's purge.

Right now, it isn't an organization I recommend any young patriot join.

I was Desert Storm. So, it was a different time. I split military by 911. In my opinion, Pre-911 military was unit based. Post 911 I call it the supersoldier based. All we heard and hear is Spec Ops. Sick of hearing Spec Ops. Seems to be the only thing we place any value in anyore. Just one guys opinion.

Don't know this man very well. Have only done a few pieces of business with him.
( Though can certainly attest that his Lebanese wife is gorgeous. )

However this gentleman has consistently maintained that the muslims are less of a threat to the remaining Christians in Bethlehem than the Israelis.

And its obvious he is unfortable saying such things in the US. As he considers most of us to be misinformed about the true nature of life in the Holy Lands.

Good dhimmi's shilling for the PA that regularly oppresses them, harasses them, treats them as 2nd class citizens, vandalizes churches, and even burned the Church of the Nativity. Of course they won't speak out against the PA as there would likely be reprisals. But I understand they view themselves as a Palestinian community and not an Israeli one, so they support their home. And being in the same community as the one Israel has to defend against, I can see how they hate their own plight. As with so many situations, people vote/support their own tyrants, because they are their's. At least they don't get the Hamas treatment.

And there are other perspectives.
