Discipline offenses surged, and so did Gen and BC discharges. The HATEAMERICA crowd seems to be winning. The thinking "putting females into Ranger School makes the Army better" is another example of PC run amok.

Offer them Citizenship at the end of the rainbow and you'll have your 80,000(future Democrats) no sweat. We grew up with lot's of War Hero Movies. Next to none being made today and if they are, the Left trashes them. Kind a takes away the incentive to join the Military if you're taught in School, War is bad and what happened during Vietnam and afterwards. My best Friends Son is in the Military. He's just been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. You can't imagine what the Military did to brainwash these guys under Obama. The Military has to take some responsibility for the problem. It will take a while, but hopefully Trump will straighten things out. It's just he has so many things on his plate, they can't happen as timely as we would like.Frank R.

Lowering standards, whether in the classroom, in the workplace or in the military will not be a good idea. Another example of taking the "Proud" out of being from U.S.A.Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.com
