AndyMFM sends us link to an article in the Washington Times<\/a> by Rowan Scarborough about how the ranking enlisted man in Afghanistan tells us how sensitivity training for accepting gays in the ranks will take priority over combat operations;<\/p>\n

Army Command Sgt. Maj. Marvin Hill, the top enlisted man in Afghanistan where 100,000 U.S. troops are deployed, said that the sessions on respecting gays\u2019 rights will go right down to the forward operating bases, where troops fight Taliban militants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard about the training that will be forthcoming to the battlefield,\u201d Sgt. Hill told Pentagon reporters via a teleconference from Kabul.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will take our directions from the Department of Defense, from the secretary of defense, the chairman, as well as the service chiefs of each service. Our plan is to take their direction, and we\u2019re going to execute that training right here on the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n

No unit is exempted, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to not allow a unit to return to home station and have the unit responsible for that,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile we own those soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, we\u2019re going to execute that training on the ground. We hope that it will have little impact on their combat and security operations here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See that last line beginning “We hope…”? Notice there was no “We hope we can find time for idiot sensitivity training while we’re fighting our nation’s enemies.” It’s “we hope we can still fight while we’re sitting around, circle jerking and navel-gazing over some douchbag’s feelings”.<\/p>\n

I’ve had some real doinks for sergeant major over the years, but never one that has pistol grips on his boots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
