After Russia and China announce hypersonic missiles, Pentagon announces U.S. countermeasure: pronouns

Four days ago--and just five weeks after Russia announced a new hypersonic missile--the U.S. Air Force released its countermeasure:

Yep, the Pentagon issued a press release announcing an update to its writing guide, on how to announce the writer's pronouns in the signature block of memos, letters and emails.

Our intel sources report that on hearing the news both Putin and president Xi were almost speechless.  Putin reportedly said "We don't have anything even close to this level of wokeness."

Under-secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz-Jones (they/them) gushed, “An inclusive force is a mission-ready force"--a claim that brought smiles to the faces of reporters for Russia Today and the China Daily.  

No one bothered to ask what mission Ortiz-Jones meant the "inclusive force" was ready to accomplish.

Ortiz-Jones continued, "I’m thankful to the LGBTQ Initiatives Team for helping us realize this opportunity to be a more inclusive force.”  

The LGBTQ Initiatives Team--which insiders call "the LIT"--is part of the Pentagon's "Barrier Analysis Working Group."  It's one of the latest "initiatives" to "address barriers to service and promote a more inclusive culture."  Because according to our Secretary of Defense and the entire JoHo regime, embracing LGBTQ mandates is the most important thing our armed forces can do.  Much more "woke" than icky military stuff.

The "co-leader" of the "LIT Transgender Policy Team," Lt. Col Bree Fram, said “The change request (?) was "driven by awareness of a restrictive policy that was being used against transgender airmen who were authentically representing themselves."

The "restrictive policy" Colonel Bree is referring to is that under the icky, anti-tranny old rules, it wasn't thought necessary for letter writers to put their preferred pronouns in their signature block.

Can you IMAGINE?  How un-woke!  This made it possible for other service members to use the wrong pronouns when replying.

Wait...what's the implied sex or gender of the word "you"?  How about "your"?  Yeah, dat's what I thought.
 
But no matter that there was NO problem with actually addressing someone as "captain" or "colonel," the real damage was that a responder might not *realize* that the person they were responding to was actually a tranny.

As Colonel Bree put it, "many individuals were often confused as being a different gender in their communications.”  I'd say that's a reason to invoke DEFCON-3 status.

The press release went on to say that "This effort was led by the LIT, with support from the Pacific Islander/Asian American Community Team, and the Women’s Initiatives Team, other teams of the DAFBAWG."

Ah, the DAFBAWG.  That's an important acronym for wokie insiders.  "Department of the Air Force Barrier Analysis Working Group."

"Master Sgt. Jamie Hash, the other LIT Transgender Policy Team co-lead, explained that the explicit permission to use pronouns--*a practice now common in the civilian sector*--gets the DAF further down the road of explicitly acknowledging the existence and dignity of non-binary military members and civilians. This change eliminates confusion for people with non-Anglo/Western or gender-neutral names."

Note the use of "...a practice now common in the civilian sector."  Cuz it's important that our military adopt practices "common in the civilian sector," since that's where all the war-winning innovations are found.

Like putting the writer's preferred pronouns in the signature block.

I wonder how many millions of dollars in the so-called "defense budget" the wokies have forced to be spent on salaries and retirement for the thousands of "diversity specialists" the wokies have forced our armed forces to accept.

Wait, could this all be part of a huge psy-op to make our enemies think we're not serious about being able to defend ourselves?

You wish.
