The Washington Times<\/a>‘ Rowan Scarborough speculates today that the Pentagon is paying more attention to social issues in the ranks than with actually being the Defense Department in spirit as well as their name;<\/p>\n

The Pentagon under the Obama administration has devoted considerable hours in public and private to sorting out same-sex relationships, the roles of women in the foxhole and ways to stop sexual assaults. Now, another issue has arisen: gender transformation.<\/p>\n

The sexual revolution has some traditionalists wondering whether the Pentagon is taking its eye off the ball \u2014 the enemy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery conceivable form of PC is being enforced upon our hard-pressed military with a zeal that only a Russian army zampolit \u2014 a political officer \u2014 would truly appreciate,\u201d said Ken Allard, a retired Army colonel and commentator. \u201cWe are seemingly concerned about everything except the most basic thing: how to fight and win the nation\u2019s wars. If we have forgotten that constraint, let me assure you that our enemies have not, from the Taliban to the drug cartels to the Iranian Quds Force.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, this is nothing new to readers of these pages, but it’s nice that a national media has noticed. I’d also remind readers that the social engineers and political officers have injected themselves into the debate over the role of religion in the ranks, they’ve found a platform for gun control, the military is being used for nearly every social issue in the country – everything except closing with and destroying the enemies of our country. It’s almost as if the enemies of freedom have taken over the military and they’re bent on destroying that combat effectiveness of the force by changing everything that has made the US military a force to be reckoned with globally. And then on top of it all, they’re punishing the people who served with cuts to their pay and benefits, not to mention massive cuts to readiness training and equipment, so the politicians can continue to bribe their constituencies with government handouts. But, no that couldn’t be it, could it? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
