Social “conditioning” programs aimed at making the U.S. military a kinder, gentler, more lawsuit-proof workplace have begun supplanting its core mission: fighting and killing enemies.

That’s the open message a former Top Gun instructor is sending the U.S. Navy’s top brass.

The website of the nonprofit U.S. Naval Institute is featuring this month a lengthy study by Commander Guy Snodgrass, who cautions that a lack of trust in senior Naval leadership – borne from a combination of factors that includes too great an emphasis on social issues and not enough on fighting wars – is precipitating a severe enlistment and retention crisis.

  1. Isn't that what it's all about - Making everyone forget what the Constitutional Core Mission is for our Military? Dare I go with my sweeping generalization: For many of the women, it's about career advancement first, then Mission somewhere down the ladder. How else to explain the PC baloney -- and now the gays and the trannies want to be OUT there, too. Thank goodness those in the know are coming forward publicly to call out the "Leaders."
