Remember the saying, “Every Marine is a
rifleman.” No longer!
I recently saw a dweeb wearing a T-shirt
that read “Gender does not define me!” I wonder when the
Marines will be ordered to wear those T-shirts.

The
Marine Corps will begin using gender-neutral job titles and course names in
October. Barack Obama's Navy Secretary, Ray Mabus, who recently announced that
a new ship will be named for homosexual activist Harvey Milk, sent the
following directive to Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller: "Please
review the position titles throughout the Marine Corps and ensure that they are
gender-integrated as well, removing 'man' from the titles." Among the
changes, a former "Basic Infantryman" will now be a "Basic
Infantry Marine," and a former "Tank Crewman" will now be an
"Armor Marine."
The
Marine Corps is proud to call all of its members, regardless of gender,
Marines. So it would seem there is no harm done calling an
"Infantryman" an "Infantry Marine." But the order is yet
another waste of man person-power and taxpayer dollars to overhaul and
reprint an untold number of doctrinal publications, administrative documents,
signs and other such items in order to comply with Obama's puppet-secretary's
order. The funds required for this policy directive would be much better
invested in improving Marine fighting capabilities and morale. This type of
waste does not go unnoticed by the Marines it affects.
Of note,
the Marine Corps elected to retain the word "man" in several of its
historically significant and fundamental terms, including "rifleman"
and "mortarman." But after Defense Secretary Ash Carter refused the
Marine Corps' attempts to protect its combat effectiveness by foregoing
gender normalization, it's only a matter of time until those
time-honored terms also collapse under PC pressure for "non-gendered
pronouns." The Obama administration's highly publicized agenda
betrays its commander in chief's priorities: political correctness over
mission-effectiveness.
