Female SoldierBy Selwyn Duke

After being given the choice between reform school and the military, a juvenile delinquent of years past would sometimes be told, “The army will make a man out of you.” But today, critics may say, we can’t be sure what the army would make out of him — or what to make out of the army.

As to this, the Army Times writes, “Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel stunned many at the Pentagon recently by suggesting the military has a ‘deep’ ethical problem. His top spokesman, Rear Adm. John Kirby, used the word ‘systemic.’”

Complaining about how cheating, fraud, lying, stealing, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual assault, and extra-marital affairs are apparently rampant in today’s military, Hagel said “he will appoint a new ethics ‘czar,’ a general or flag officer who will focus on this specific issue,” writes the Times.

One response to “Is Our Military Becoming an Army of Immorality?”

    So, Selwyn, what exactly is the proper “military culture”? Mindless obedience to orders? Killing people on command?
    Is the American war machine insufficiently mighty for you? Who is it you want to murder with the help of your military (must you perpetually confuse the people with the state?) that its uncontestable feminization and homosexualization has allegedly put out of its reach?
    The present US army cannot make a man out of anybody, unless by “man” you mean violent psychopath whose deviancy is suppressed only on the one hand with especially brutal threats of punishment for disobedience, and on the other hand with opportunities for killing “bad guys.” In civil society this “man” would end up either in prison or a bad — awful — cop or both.
    The US army is an army of darkness, death, and destruction. The corrosion of its conquering spirit via the (otherwise wicked) leftist influences must be welcomed, not condemned. There are “conservative” things worth subverting. Ultimately, of course, that is not enough, and the standing army (and navy, and air force, and everything else) must be abolished 100%.
