Mad dog Mattis moving to refocus military from "sensitivity" training to a "lethal force."

An armed military force actually training to, you know; frick shite up.
Imagine that.
quote:
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis wants to overhaul military education and training to “regain” the art of warfighting following complaints by thousands of servicemembers that their time is being wasted by hours of mandatory training, according to a new memo obtained by Fox News. The training that is the subject of complaints covers everything from alcohol use to active shooters to sexual harassment to stress management.
quote:
Addressing the service secretaries and chiefs of the Armed Forces, Mattis has ordered the formation of a new working group to “determine changes to military personnel policies” to “equip more ready and lethal forces.” The working group will include the second in command of each branch of the U.S. military and report to the deputy secretary of defense and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The secretary wants each service to examine its military education to “regain a concentration on the art and science of warfighting” and look into the hours of “mandatory force training that does not directly support core tasks” such as flying jets, jumping out of planes, and hundreds of other U.S. military missions essential to defending the United States and its allies.
quote:
One official with knowledge of the discussions surrounding the memo told Fox News, “servicemembers spending too much time on senseless training that is really a waste of time.” One U.S. military officer said there is “too much sexual harassment training” and not enough time spent at places like the shooting range, for example.

But what happens if they don't know how to properly address a trans person?

How much sway does Mattis or other generals have over things like gender neutral bathrooms on ships? Or is this dictated by pols in DC?

Yeah, the amount of training for active duty and civilians is just ridiculous. I've been to Transgender Education Training, Green Dot Training, Suicide Prevention, Active Shooter, Information Assurance (which Hillary apparently never attended), OPSEC training, etc.
Hell, I even went to Green Dot training with someone I filed a harassment complaint against. It was awkward and something he obviously didn't take seriously.

Kill the CBTs kill them, burn them into ashes, fly them into the ocean and scatter their remains.
Also pummel any idiot that wants another group block training session beat them into a coma.

I normally just sign the roster saying I attended the class. Or watch movies while I click through slides just to get to the end of the lesson. I make it a point to not take any of those seriously and make sure the young men underneath me understand that it's all bullshite to not be taken seriously as well.

Holy shite! Thank God Almighty! I hate command training days.

Rally won't be impressed with Mattie until he rolls back the decision to allow women in combat.

Obviously the President can over rule him, but in the day to day operations, the Sec of Defense is the top dog of the military.
