How embarrassing for our country. Beyond that I'm speechless.

I can only imagine what will happen if we ever had to go to war and one sailor needs to call out to the other......

If and when the US military finds itself again in combat, I predict a lot of friendly fire incidents on the field of battle.

You can be sure that the American seamen at the Battle of Midway knew who their enemy was, didn't worry at all about non-inclusive language, wouldn't have known what it meant to "misgender" someone and wouldn't have cared if they did know, and had no difficulty whatsoever about using correct pronouns. Oh, and they also stomped the enemy under the waves, forcefully and without apology. Sad to say, it looks like the U.S. Navy of 1942 is no more.

Another reason among many to talk your kid out of enlisting

Here's the crux of the situation.

People want to be "tolerant", I get that I'm extremely liberal\libertarian in that regard....eff off let people do their own thing. I once gave a pep talk to a trans worker at a place I ate at that had some hate thrown their direction. You do you, there will ALWAYS be haters even if you're gorgeous, straight etc. Always.

Kids however are extremely formative. Exposing them to stuff at an early age should be very carefully considered.

Just my 2 cents.

The biggest problem with woke is that they look at rednecks and others for indoctrinating their kids into guns or hunting or CIS culture....with the exact same moral superiority that what they are doing is right and correct and good for their kid.

Think about that.

Maybe a lack of that is more of a problem than inclusive language.
OK, Big Man, this comes from the Top. So unless you outrank silly milley or secdef or potus, just how do you plan to stop it?

Pitiful. Military has a job, and it's not "understanding" people. It's break things and kill people. This crap borders on treason, it certainly detracts from any mission we may have to undertake.

TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. This is brainwash brainwash brainwash. No place in our military. God help the United States of America.

Glad to see the Navy is focused on the big issues!

It was bad enough when President Biden got thirteen service members killed because of his stupidity in Afghanistan, but we look so pathetically weak in the eyes of the enemy... This crap needs to stop!

From the article:
Let me guess. They need a safe space to hide from racists Chinese and Russian torpedoes?

US Navy: Create "A Safe Space" For Colleagues By Using "Inclusive Language" Pronouns That Signal You Are An "Ally"


That's for the sailors' children, right?
