The marines are going woke with longer hair & 2 tone nail polish among other changes.
First Lt. Phillip Parker, a spokesman for Marine Corps Training and Education Command, stated that the goal of these changes is to 'positively impact diversity, equity, and inclusion.

It's been studied over and over that in all work environments, people perform better when they're comfortable with themselves. None of the things listed is going to make our military worse and morale is more important than disallowing two tones of nail polish.

I assume the people who devote their lives to good military tactics (which include social/psychological behaviors) know this.

What about the Army lowering physical fitness standards for women? Is that going to make our military worse? Less prepared? Less able to withstand the rigors of combat?

Maybe for your soy boy industries, but the marines I believe have performed quite well throughout history without the metrosexualization..

No. A tiny tiny segment of woke leadership decided, for self preservation purposes. “The military” is made up of just a tad bit more than those few General Mileys….

Nope. 99% of the military had zero choice. Those generals/admirals that wanted to keep their job in a woke administration made the choice for them.

If the hair or clothing standards don't serve any real purpose, fine, get rid of them. But saying the changes are made for "diversity, equity, and inclusion" is just bad optics at best and bad for the marines at worst.

Same thing with lowering combat fitness standards. Change them if they're not needed, but don't change them because "ekwity". That should be obvious.

No it weakens our forces, by how much remains to be seen. That said, the vax mandate will do more harm. I've read a significant number of SOF are taking a discharge over the jab.

Not sure on food shortages but Russia and Ukraine represent over a 1/4 of world wide wheat exports. Behr (Germany’s Monsanto) has pulled all products/ag inputs to be exported to Russia.

Time to buy a few bags of flour and dust off the the bread machine.
