I've been chewing on the fact that we have another book by a Navy SEAL. This time its about a SEAL who has/is undergoing hormone therapy and changing from male to female.
My thoughts....
1. I don't know who is in charge of the SEALs or SOCOM (obviously McRaven isn't cause this keeps happening) but they need to get a handle on all these tell all books that are coming out. Quiet professionals? Not hardly.
2. The SEAL culture needs to be carefully examined to understand why this seems so prevalent in their ranks. Once the cause is determined then efforts need to be made to get it under control.
3. Its painfully obvious that everything masculine, traditional, martial etc...is under attack. Everyone I know has certain closely held beliefs. We don't seek to push our beliefs on others yet its obvious that the culture of the military is under sustained attack by "change agents" that are seeking to transform it into something more "gentle" and "less" rigid. I don't see how you expect immediate obedience to orders when everything is painted in shades of grey.
4. I personally see many guys in a quiet crouch. The natives are restless but they're keeping low. I don't know what the results of this will be but there will come a time when the pushback begins.
I don't think I've ever seen or read of a time when the military was under this much sustained pressure socially. These experiments...these initiatives will result in a military that none of will recognize and one that I believe will be totally ineffective in combat.
If you take a serious look at the rebels fighting in Syria, you see violent, masculine, almost primal individuals (remember the rebel leader carving the heart out of Syrian Soldier?) our "softened" up military will win a high tech war but once boots are on the ground we will get routed if we continue in the direction that we're headed.
