Marines brace for mandatory sensitivity training

Todd Starnes

If you need more proof that the Obama administration has turned the greatest fighting force on the planet into a social engineering petri dish, just consider what’s about to be forced upon the Marine Corps.

Marines will soon be forced to attend “unconscious bias” training – in advance of the women joining the infantry.

Join Todd’s American Dispatch – a must-read for Conservatives!

The seminar will focus on how people prejudge others based on factors like race and gender, and principals of institutional change, Miltary.com reports.

“There’s no doubt we’re leading cultural change,” Brig. Gen. James Glynn told the website. “It’s not the first time for the Marine Corps, but we like a challenge.”

That could be a mighty big challenge. A Center for Naval Analyses survey found a “significant majority” of male Marines opposed having women serve in ground combat jobs.

Mobile training teams will be dispatched across the Corps started in May.

“The purpose of the mobile training team is to begin to facilitate the cultural change…you’ve got to have the conservation,” Glynn said.

So what kind of agenda items can Marines expect to discuss during their sensitivity training sessions?

Col. Anne Weinberg described one of the potential questions to Military.com reporters.

“You’re in the field, you only have this certain amount of space for billeting and you’ve got three women and six guys. How are you going to billet?” she asked.

How in the world are the Marines supposed to get combat training, when they are deluged with sensitivity training and equal opportunity training and sexual harassment training?

“All that time squandered on this stuff is time you are not spending training for war,” Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (Ret.) told me.

Peters, who is also a military analyst for Fox News Channel, railed against the military’s quest to be politically correct.

“If I could make one change to improve our combat effectiveness in the military – it would be turning all those equal opportunity and sensitivity trainers and counselors into combat rifleman,” he said. “We need more rifles. We don’t need any more sensitivity.”

And Peters is not opposed to women serving in the military. May the best man or woman win the promotion, he said.

“But you can’t stack the deck,” he warned. “You cannot make our military primarily a tool of social engineering or you will destroy the military.”

The Marine Corps decision prompted dozens of negative responses on Miltary.com

“There are no points for political correctness in combat,” one reader wrote. “This insanity will get Marines killed both male and female.”

“The Few, the Proud, the ‘Unconsciously Biased’,” wrote another. “Obama is doing all that he can to decrease the effectiveness of our fighting forces.”

Two years ago I uncovered a 600-page manual used by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute. The manual teaches that “healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian” men hold an unfair advantage over other races.

“Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege,” reads a statement in the manual.

And in early March Judicial Watch obtained documents revealing that some 400 soldiers at Fort Gordon, Georgia were subjected to a “white privilege” briefing.

“We have lost sight of the fact that the greatest immorality in war is for the United States to lose,” Peters told me. “For all our imperfections, we are nonetheless the greatest force for freedom and decency and a chance at a better life that humanity has ever had. We are the ultimate defenders of freedom.”

But Peters concluded with this ominous warning:

“God help us if we lose the ability to do that role,” he said.

SensityWHAT?

what makes anyone think the "ladies" can be an effective marine if the can't handle "insensitivity"?

The only sensitivity training the military needs is how to deal with a rash they get in a sensitive area of their body when afield in combat.

Hopefully, the Corps has thought this thing through thoroughly...and decided to make this "sensitivity training" drag out for about 10 months...then drop it....

they are in danger of becoming real Lunker-heads!

I spent over 10 years in the Corps, and for that I am proud. But the stupid crap we had to do because some dumbass politician who has his head up his *** just made me irate. I can't stand the way the country is being lead these days. We need General Mattis as president. Let him square them away.

i always say that the prez should have military experience since the are in charge of it...

Ah General Mattis...sayer of one of my favorite quotes....when speaking to Iraqi Tribal leaders.....

"I come in peace. I didn't bring
artillery. But I'm pleading with
you, with tears in my eyes: If
you frck with me, I'll kill you
all"

Semper Fi....

speaking of quotes, my favorite of all time from "outlaw josey wales":

JOSEY: You be Ten Bears?

TEN BEARS: I am Ten Bears.

JOSEY: (Spits tobacco) I'm Josey Wales.

TEN BEARS: I have heard. You're the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Blue Coats. You may go in peace.

JOSEY: I reckon not. Got nowhere to go.

TEN BEARS: Then you will die.

JOSEY: I came here to die with you. Or live with you. Dying ain't so hard for men like you and me, it's living that's hard; when all you ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don't live together, people live together. With governments you don't always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well I've come here to give you either one, or get either one from you. I came here like this so you'll know my word of death is true. And that my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now, we'll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And every spring when the grass turns green and the Comanche moves north, he can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That's my word of life.

TEN BEARS: And your word of death?

JOSEY: It's here in my pistols, there in your rifles. I'm here for either one.

TEN BEARS: These things you say we will have, we already have.

JOSEY: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.

TEN BEARS: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues. There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life. (He takes his knife and cuts his hand. Josey does the same and they grasp each other's hands.) So shall it be.

Josey Wales?

" Are you gonna pull those pistols
or whistle Dixie?"

" To hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms."

as he spits on that dogs head...

Conrad!
