What happened to MY country? It's gone MIA.

I wonder if the libs have an outer boundary for gender switching. Like, could I identify as a college chick this morning and make it into the girls locker room after volleyball practice AND identify as a middle age male in the afternoon so I could make it into the hoity toity golf club men only locker room?

Maybe I'm being too shallow. *shrug*

From the diversity is strength crowd.

Vice President Joe Biden told the U.S. Military Academy’s class of 2016 on Saturday that greater diversity, including more women and openly gay soldiers, will strengthen the country’s armed forces.

“Having men and women together in the battlefield is an incredible asset, particularly when they’re asked to lead teams in parts of the world with fundamentally different expectations and norms,” Biden said in his speech at a graduation ceremony at Michie Stadium on the West Point grounds along the Hudson River. {According to this moron's logic, it would be an incredible asset to have child molesters and goat fuckers leading US troops in the Middle East}

VPOTUS Biden 'gets it'... why is everyone else having such a hard time figuring it out?

I'd like to see biden, muslim boy, etc remove all the men from their secret service detail and replace them with trannies and females only. (Hell Slick Willie would do it in a heartbeat.)

Put up or shut up, replace all the men in your secret service detail with trannies and females only.

And they wouldn't have to be armed, since they could simply declare a 'safe space' around Vice President Joe Moron Biden.

If they're not armed, how will they ever fire off that warning shot, then?

Repeat after me, Diversity is Strength. They don't need shotguns. Maybe rape whistles, but definitely no shotguns. Besides, weapons aren't allowed in safe spaces.

I believe the Raising of the Eyebrow is their Warning shot ...

What's sad is about 30-40% really believe what they are saying (that diversity is strength, etc.). 50% don't- but say it because it is the thing to say nowadays. My country is MIA indeed...

LOL Sigh

Reminds me of the unintentional diversity-is-strength experiment I had not too long ago http://professionalsoldiers.com/foru...ad.php?t=50693

I wonder what Legion Entrangere thinks of diversity...
They sure have it, along with uncompromising standard.

That's look great on some gates somewhere, I think.

Inside the World’s First All-Female Special Forces Unit: Norway’s Jegertroppen

The unit was started after Norway's Armed Forces' Special Command saw an increased need for female special operations soldiers — particularly in places like Afghanistan where male troops were forbidden from communicating with women. The exclusion of half the population was having a detrimental impact on intelligence gathering and building community relations.

"When [Norway] deployed to Afghanistan we saw that we needed female soldiers. Both as female advisers for the Afghan special police unit that we mentored, but also when we did an arrest," said Col. Frode Kristofferson, the commander of Norway's special forces. "We needed female soldiers to take care of the women and children in the buildings that we searched."

So they created the all-female unit specifically designed to train them.

"One of the advantages that we see with an all-female unit is that we can have a tailored program and a tailored selection for the female operators," Kristofferson said, adding that at the end of the one-year program the female soldiers are just as capable as their male counterparts.

"We're carrying the same weight in the backpack as the boys," said Tonje, who did not provide her full name due to the unit's rules. "We do the same tasks."

Those tasks at Terningmoen Camp, about 100 miles north of Oslo, include parachuting out of military aircraft, skiing in the Arctic tundra, navigating the wilderness and fighting in urban terrain.

She added that the weapon, backpack and other gear she carries on long marches, weighs over 100 pounds.

To qualify for the Jegertroppen, applicants have to run about four miles carrying 60 pounds of military gear in under 52 minutes. That's just three minutes less than their male counterparts who have to do the same thing in under 49 minutes.

At a recent exercise, one of the female soldiers shot better than some of the men in the elite platoon, Capt. Ole Vidar, the officer leading the training program, said

So it's not the same standards "...That's just three minutes less than their male counterparts who have to do the same thing in under 49 minutes...."
