Give me a break. A Marine is a Marine, regardless of sex, color, race or religion. Enough with all this “equality” shit and people being concerned with names and titles. If you earned your globe and anchor, then by all practical standards, that makes you equal to every other Marine. If women want to serve in combat roles in ANY branch of the Military, then they must grab a hold of this belief and stop wanting to be put on a pedestal and get special treatment or be “More included”; because at the end of the day, that kind of thinking is what is going to get Marines and Soldiers KILLED in combat. Until this attitude changes (which I don’t think it will) both in the Officer and Enlisted Ranks, women serving in combat roles will be a LIABILITY to any COMBAT UNIT. -SF
After months of deliberation, the Marine Corps has decided to remove the word “man” from 19 job titles, in an effort to make the service more inclusive now that all combat roles are open to women.
The review, mandated by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus in January, will soon wrap-up and post the changes publicly in several days, according to an anonymous Marine official who spoke with Marine Corps Times.
Although many old titles will no longer exist, as they’ll be made gender neutral, some iconic titles still remain, such as “rifleman” and “mortar man.” This is unlikely to satisfy many Marines, who believe that political correctness has gone completely out of control.
“Names that were not changed, like rifleman, are steeped in Marine Corps history and ethos,” the official said. “Things that were changed needed to be updated to align with other MOS names.”

Objection. Physical fitness and weapon qualification are the only two things listed and recorded in a Marine’s personnel file, yet, the female Marines can run at a softer pace than the male Marine counterpart. The fitness level of any male Marine, is at a more demanding and higher level than any female Marine. Or, will that be changing? The Corps going soft/pantywaist?
Yeah that’s my point. One Standard, One Name: MARINE.
Not Two Standards,NotTwo Names. Not “Woman Machine Gunner” JUST “Machine Gunner”
As I said I will never be in favor of a dual standard/hypocritial system.
That will get Marines Killed.
And to answer your question: Yes, the Brain Drain of the Military by the Obamaoids and Multi-Culturalist Trans-Gender freaks has filled our officer and NCO ranks with the worst kind of spineless, ball-less sacks of amphibian shit ever to walk.
Combine this with absolutely NO Strategical Plan of attack for our current enemies and Absolutely NO WILLPOWER TO See the Fight to the End,yeah, my outlook for our Military is GRIM and DISMAL to say the least.
If the women are that sensitive – maybe their participation at all should be questioned.
In reality GP it is a mentality being exhibited by the Top Brass and it is floating down into the ranks. The problem rest in society as much as anything…American men are taught from an early age to put women on a pedestal…right or wrong, that is how MOST of us are raised, and that is why we have seen all the PREFERENTIAL treatment when it comes to testing and Quals in all branches of the Military..this is wrong on so many levels. I Say One Standard across the board or NOTHING.
Ah, I see. Everyone is again trying to be so politically correct – they get to the point of doing a back-flip.
Yeah GP, PC “obamaoids” are destroying the military. Just wait until the whole trans-gender thing hits, we will be the laughing stock of the entire world.
Jeez – I never thought about that!!!
I try NOT to think about it GP to be honest..it hurts me to see an organization I LOVE and CHERISH go down the tubes like it currently is.
Here it Comes GP….The Trans-Gender Goat Rodeo in the Military:

It’s Official GP: The Military You and Me Love HAS GONE TO SHIT AND BECOME THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.
