Pentagon pivots to social issues; providing for common defense a lower priority

[Geee]

Washington Times:

As the armed forces shrink and withdraw from some global hot spots, their agenda for the battle of the sexes grows.

 

The Pentagon under the Obama administration has devoted considerable hours in public and private to sorting out same-sex relationships, the roles of women in the foxhole and ways to stop sexual assaults. Now, another issue has arisen: gender transformation.

 

The sexual revolution has some traditionalists wondering whether the Pentagon is taking its eye off the ball — the enemy.

 

“Every conceivable form of PC is being enforced upon our hard-pressed military with a zeal that only a Russian army zampolit — a political officer — would truly appreciate,” said Ken Allard, a retired Army colonel and commentator. “We are seemingly concerned about everything except the most basic thing: how to fight and win the nation’s wars. If we have forgotten that constraint, let me assure you that our enemies have not, from the Taliban to the drug cartels to the Iranian Quds Force.”

This is a classic ( until now days always warned about) case of lefty liberal "idealism" ideology being in control.

Infuriating.
