    so are you saying it may work to our advantage, and we will catch some off guard?

    Care to repeat in English this time?
    But it seems like you don't really no and just made something up.


    Are you aware those in the shows at the event are not military personnel?

    ...
    “The goal is to provide education and awareness, increase collaboration through outreach, and recognize the diverse composition of JBLE,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “The theme of the event is ‘Celebrating Differences’ and will feature a number of different performers, guest speakers, and information booths, including Tuskegee Airman, Asian Indians of Hampton, a hula routine, a drag performance, and many others.”

    Education and awareness of what?

    How come women aren’t outraged that men are imitating them as a goof? It’s the same as blackface plus it’s gender appropriation.

    Those events and the one in question do not share the same goal of the military, despite your failing to understand the difference. the goal of this event is about a social concept, sex diversity, not a BBQ. I'm 100% certain you have no understanding of the US military, you keep making it more and more obvious.

    I wish the goal was to improve their ability to kill people without getting themselves killed in the process. That is what every other military trains their soldiers for and what the American military trained their military for until the Diversity and Inclusion mafia (DIE) got involved. Ironically DIE's involvement will probably result in more American military combatants dying..... so mission accomplished I guess.

    China would be insane to not invade Taiwan right now. There isn't a chance in hell we are going to stop them with woke imbeciles running the armed forces.

    These issues are part of what is damaging morale.

    My understanding goes as far as reading what military leaders say and the commentary around that as well as a few active duty and retired friends.

    I also never mentioned a BBQ and the question I asked is still being dodged.

    Are you one of the people that believe if someone does not have first hand knowledge on a subject then you are not allowed to comment?

    Tons of reasons have been said by military officials and analysts

    Lower percentage of the young are eligible
    Less competitive vs the private sector
    Less people wanting to be involved in combat
    Less agreement with military service
    Less support of our soldiers
    More awareness of PTSD and other issues surrounding service


    Know one thing I have never heard them say, drag shows. Sure I can agree that this probably pisses some people off but so does women and blacks serving.

    Challenge isn't a bad thing, and only the weak minded would consider it weakness. And only the mindlessly puritanical would consider it embarrassing

    Well that weakness helped galvanize Putin and Russia to strike now in Ukraine. How's that working out?

    Part two is likely China making their move into Taiwan before Biden's term is up as well.

    lol.

    I’m one of those people who think if you don’t have first hand knowledge on a topic you certainly can comment but those comments are from a position of genuine ignorance.
    I tried to explain this to you, you’re too worried about things that are not a part of the military. The military doesn’t put “diversity” pilots in an F35.

    ~ Most likely the biggest factor in a decline in military service is decline in patriotism.
    ~ Perhaps it should be ... ? :roll:

    What complete bullshit.

    There are posters here who refuse to contribute to threads. The forums are much cleaner when they're on ignore.

    Y'know it does explain a couple posters here who swear they'll never discuss anything with someone who even says Trump wore a nice suit today :) I agree with you - no one is on my iggy - and I'm definitely gonna quote you when they go off on a rant again.

    I am not “worried” about anything — I simply find it lacks logic as to why drag performers damages morale.

    I hope this is just rhetoric and not a confusion of what constitutes consent.

    Why would you think this little program by just 1 Air base has changed the training of the entire military?

    Of course the goal is always to improve their ability to kill people without getting themselves killed.
    This show has nothing to do with that.

    Wow, in a thread about Queens and the Air Force, you manage to bring race into yet another thread.
    Does it ever stop?
