Department of Defense Social Engineering
By Colonel (USA.,Ret.) Richard Strube
Greek mythology tells of the Amazons, women warriors who were unconquerable. Amazon Queen Hippolyta was said to wear a magical girdle, the capture of which was one of the seven labors of Hercules. These are myths. They are not real events. Today only the United States Army is moving towards making that myth into a reality. No serious modern army in the world has women as frontline combat soldiers, yet that is where the current administration is taking us. Why? To what end? I believe it may safely be said that the goal of this effort is not increased military readiness. Rather it is social engineering wrapped in political correctness. Political correctness run amok in that by pandering to the left in order to garner some additional votes come election day the administration has decided it is ok to weaken our military, reduce our defense capabilities, and subject our mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and grandmothers to the utmost in physical danger and the horrors of having to kill or be killed.
This is only an additional arrow in the body of our military. What is the imperative to military readiness that requires homosexual and transgendered individuals a role in providing a strong, powerful military capable of defending the nation? Their previous exclusion was not based on a politically and socially incorrect philosophy. It was based on providing an army that was focused on war fighting and not one that had to manage serious issues of morale; that believed in a unity and brotherhood not weakened by concerns about the attitudes, mores and interests of the person sharing your foxhole. War is horrible and victory in battle requires a full out warrior ethos that mandates brutality on a scale the politicians and progressives who are pushing this agenda cannot fathom. When did we determine that a nation which has more than 150 million males cannot field an armed force of less than one million without having to rely upon women? Whether or not there are women who are physically able to be an infantry “person” is not a question of “can”. It is a question of “should”. Why should they be put into that position? How does that bolster our defenses? How does this enhance readiness? Those of us from a certain generation (1967-1995 in my case) can relate anecdote after anecdote of how having women in the ranks caused unit readiness to suffer. Who will fill in the holes to perform the work of a pregnant soldier, or of one who has just given birth? Who will carry that machine gun, operate that mortar, shoot that rifle, drive that tank? There are no “extras” sitting around waiting. The current administration is using the Department of Defense as a social engineering testbed, although they have already reached the conclusions they want.
