Our gentler, more aware and inclusive military… we all know it and love its gentle ways, especially the one GEN Milley denies existing – it’s “wokeness”.<\/p>\n
A while back, the Pentagon mandated that award citations for six Joint Awards (no, not doobie, ya filthy animals) be politically correct:<\/p>\n
In August, the Department of Defense (DOD) issued an unannounced change to the manual to require award citations to use “themself” \u2014 a word not recognized by standard English \u2014 instead of “himself” or “herself.”<\/p>\n
The awards required to use the gender-neutral pronoun included the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal and the Joint Meritorious Unit Award.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Themself” – almost as nice as when there was a phase when it seemed every instruction somehow included the word “behoove” – “It would behoove you to take note of what the Colonel just said.” Maybe it was required reading at the First Sergeant’s or Sergeant Major’s Academy”.<\/p>\n
The language was discovered by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation. The foundation reported that the end-of-tour award for Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was returned because he used gender-specific pronouns for his citation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Who better …<\/p>\n
The DOD later issued a “clarifying comment” that stated “themselves” can be replaced with “himself” or “herself,” a Pentagon official previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Miller\u2019s (sic – should have read Milley – ed.) award was ultimately approved with male pronouns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
