The Marines will remove the word 'man' from these 19 job titles
Gina Harkins, Marine Corps Times 6:55 p.m. EDT June 27, 2016


Thousands of Marines serving throughout the infantry and in other key positions are about to get new gender-neutral job titles, but the service's top leaders are pushing to leave the word "man" in some of its most iconic occupations.

In all, the Marine Corps plans to rename 19 of its military occupational specialties, or MOSs, as the result of a months-long review mandated by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. A service-wide message announcing the changes is expected to be published within the next few days.

Vote against the people who support it.  Pretty simple.

I have not heard Trump be asked or opine on any of this stuff, and I'd really like to hear where he stands.  We already know where Hillary stands.

Given Trump's earlier stance against political correctness, I would assume he would soon comment negatively about these types of meaningless changes.  But then, I do know how the term "assume" breaks down... :laugh:
