You never hear anything like this from Marines, because Oooooorah! Motherfuckers.


The young Marine O-2's and O-3's I lived with in Helmand Province couldn't wait to get out.  And these guys were very sharp young men, full of potential.  They got tired of being treated like children and second guessed by their higher.

Good Marines get out of the Marine Corps.

Often this is the case, too often. People just get worn down by the BS.

i could not imagine having to try to be a hardcore infantry guy, while at the same time not offend women / gays,/ trannys/ crossdressers and anyone else who might be in my unit. seems like it would be fucking confusing as hell how to act / think.


"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

Write fuck? Hell, you can't even have an "offensive" call sign anymore.



They would love our battery callsign from 93-94 at Benning; we were the Gigolos. I was Gigolo Red 3N. We got a new BC and we had to change it, he was offended by the callsign, other than that he was a great commander.

That sort of thing drove me absolutely insane.  Probably one of the top 5 reasons I didn't reup.

Get to work at 0600.. formation at 0630.. PT till 0800.  Formation at 0900.  Do absolutely fucking nothing till 1100.  Literally just sit on our asses, bored to death.  Back to work at 1300... go back to sitting around doing nothing.

Than like every other day.. 1645 rolls around.  E6 or so shows up, "we have a lot to do and we no one goes home until everything is done!"

WTF!  Why they fuck didn't they have us doing all this shit all day long!  But since they failed as leaders, we spent the normal duty hours doing nothing at all, then trying to do everything right at 1700.. so we worked until 1900 or so when it just wasn't necessary at all.

Are there any consequences for this sort of thing?
 

The junior enlisted get counseling statements for not being motivated enough. The E5's/6's get negative counseling statements and ncoers for not leading their troops good enough. Senior NCO's and leadership gets an ARCOM and waterwalking NCOER's/OER's for somehow keeping their troops so motivated they want to stay at the unit all day and in to the evening.

They could issue Bibles like they used to.  I can say from experience that believing you're space-dust and nothing matters is depressing.  The military is probably a lot of my generation, very secular.  So, they've probably got that view.  The moral anarchy doesn't better morale.  Guys think if they can have their butt-sex or cross dress openly everything will be great.  Nah, the guilt and the emptiness will still be there.  They try to lash out at society as making them feel bad but it's inside them.  They're not gonna improve morale with atheistic psychology programs and sexual nihilism.  Our soldiers need the healing of a life changed by Christ.  It's unfortunate the military seems to be doing the opposite and trying to stamp out something truly helpful and life saving.

Lol, no. Not by a fucking long shot. They want us to be monks these days and if you think Christianity isn't pushed/prevalent in the Army these days, you have no business opining on the topic.

Calling it an Obama problem is grossly oversimplifying it, and its not like everyone was loving life right up until '08.

Arguably the culture that would elect Obama does have some negative effects, but it's just something that "doesn't help".

Has it ever really been great in any branch?

Maybe Cold War era?

Deployed during the Afghan and Iraq surges?

Being Navy we were always training, always underway working up for a deployment and then deployed.

Come back and start over. War or not. Only thing that would change was the color of the bombs...

I would say barring any of that it's leadership at the lower/mid levels that make the biggest different. Navy wise that was divisional on down, not departmental. IDGAF about the Dept boss or anyone that worked there.

When I first showed up in '98 the division was run by old Cold War guys and the Div-o was a good dude.

As people left and we got 'new school' leadership in the NCO and div-o level came in the quality and moral went to shit. NCO's and Div-O's lied and fucked over the guys. 99% of the division got out, those were good works, solid sailors that got fucked over so much that reenlisting wasn't even a thought. .5% had little choice but to re up and the other .5% were shitbags that knew they could skate for 20 years and retire...

You are so colossally wrong here it's astounding.

The President dictates to his cronies through the chains of command what he and they want the priorities to be. Since we are using the military as every Liberal wet dream microcosm of societal experimentation I'm actually surprised that the military hasn't all but folded.

I haven't seen morale in the military this low in twenty years.

Maybe if the leadership stopped treating multi-deployed war vets like children they would have better morale. The nonstop political correct brainwashing trying to force soldiers to accept transgenders, gays and accusing everyone of sexual assault and racism is not helping things either. All DoD services should be color blind and the military is no place for liberal social experiments; sadly we are way past the point of return to getting back to the way things used to be.

It’s a crying shame what is happening to our military and the honorable folks serving, and the powers that be in DC wonder why morale is so low. It’s never a good sign for any organization (military or civilian) that has twice a year mandatory suicide prevention classes.

Yep.  I remember coming back from deployment and sitting though all these reintegration classes and other bs.  Then they wanted us to fill out surveys about if the classes helped.  I told them if I was actually reintegrating back with my family instead of sitting watching idiotic videos and listening to a bunch of ass clowns talk about PTSD my mood would be much better.  I remember one video where they showed a guy going to a picnic and bringing his pistol, and one of the things they highlighted was "what do you need to bring a pistol along for, it is probably PTSD"  This is to a bunch of SF guys.  Of course we booed the video, which was pretty funny.

No there isn't. No one willing to die for their nation should have to hide who they are. Plenty of pussies who never served a day willing to talk about how should be allowed to serve, plus the occasional homophobe veteran who's okay with smashing lady boys in port call.

The best part of DADT repeal is that people can't pretend to be gay to escape their enlistment - something that I have personally witnessed. What I haven't seen is fags running amok, stealing all the dick shaped parts from hmmvvs and turning barracks into man brothels.

If you want to pick something gay to complain about, we can talk about trannies the arfcom favorite.

I remember listeneing to a fucking weird ass larper/former tanker bitch  and moan about DADT repeal spelling doom for the army, then proceed to try and tell anyone who would listen about hs four hundred pound fucking ham beast wife getting rubber suited up and then chasing him around the house catch him and piss on him. "Don't knock it till you try it bro"

Please. I would rather hear about some dude getting his shit pushed in. How about we just maintain a semblence of professionalism and keep nasty home shit in our nasty homes.

not to mention that to complain about it, or even be overheard mentioning it in a less that supportive way would open you up to all sorts of negative attention, sensitivity training, missed promotions, etc.    and if the gays got a whiff that you weren't for them, they'd harrass you like mad, which would be a double-whammy of the cycle of negative attention because you CONTINUE to not be able to get along.

not to mention that to complain about it, or even be overheard mentioning it in a less that supportive way would open you up to all sorts of negative attention, sensitivity training, missed promotions, etc.    and if the gays got a whiff that you weren't for them, they'd harrass you like mad, which would be a double-whammy of the cycle of negative attention because you CONTINUE to not be able to get along.


Still bullshit. You're full of it.

While being an "out and gay" person might get you the same double standards and exemption from low level discipline, most gay folks have to walk a much tighter line than everybody else due to SHARP sexual harassment claims (automatic career ended for anyone).

Please post your intimate knowledge of this "problem".

Tell me about how many gay troops you served with before and after DADT, and tell me how many gay troops you led/commanded.


Oh and explain to me why you support a Clinton policy. Is the mistreatment of a minority that gets your jimmies warm, or all the gay stuff?

Not happy then don't join or reenlist.


I'm willing to bet that most of those unhappy soldiers will reenlist.  No sympathies from me.

Yep

So if we were ever faced with an existential crisis with leadership like we have.....we're screwed. We civilians are on our own then?

Real leaders would arise eventually but a lot of men would die in the process.

A real threat would allow real leaders to rise to the top. The toxic shitbags will implode under real conditions. We'd get the people we need. But it would be painful to get there.


Teh gays and Obamas Muslim conspiracy are not the reason morale sucked. The war a multiple tours were great for morale.
This "pivot to garrison" and "discipline" are what's driving this morale issue

Guys that 3 or 4 tours are now called shitbags and told to get out. Or driven out. I'm finishing my 20
I'll just suck the dick and keep moving on
