The top brass of the United States Military are all genuinely committed to never winning another war, ever again. This will not surprise those of us who have been alive long enough to remember the incompetent and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal last August. Still, it is jarring to hear a Navy Flag Officer, nominated to be the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, say that “gender advisoers” for combat troops are critical to mission success.
“Gender advisers” come from the 2017 Women, Peace and Security Act passed by the House and Senate and signed by President Donald Trump (I am weeping openly just typing that).
This bill expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the United States should be a global leader in promoting the participation of women in conflict prevention, management, and resolution and post-conflict relief and recovery efforts; (2) the political participation and leadership of women in fragile environments, particularly during democratic transitions, is critical to sustaining democratic institutions; and (3) the participation of women in conflict prevention and conflict resolution helps promote more inclusive and democratic societies and is critical to country and regional stability.
(Sec. 5) The President, within one year after enactment of this bill and again four years later, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and make public a Women, Peace, and Security Strategy, which shall:
be aligned with other nations’ plans to improve the participation of women in peace and security processes, conflict prevention, peace building, and decision-making institutions; and
include goals and evaluation plans to ensure strategy effectiveness.
Such a strategy shall include a specific implementation plan from each relevant federal agency.The President is urged to promote women’s participation in conflict prevention.
In addition to breaking my heart that Donald Trump signed this Bill into law, then Representative, now Governor, Kristi Noem sponsored the bill in the House. We have long suspected Kristi was a squish. Now, most of think qualified women should be included in all endeavors where they are needed, but why, in the name of homemade sin, does the military need gender advisers? We have women at every level of the U.S. Military. Are they not capable of advising? Are there not men in the U.S. military who value the perspective of women and can advise on the value of that perspective? This excrement is crazy making.
When I want to know whether military excrement is real, I search the Army War College website. Here is the description for the Gender Adviser course at the Army WAR College:
The military is committed to never winning another war, ever again. Can you see Admirals David Farrugut or Chester Nimitz being down with a Gender Adviser? Admiral Christopher Grady is down with the Gender Advisers. He’ll be out there bleating, “Damn the guided missiles. Get me the Gender Advisers.”. Joe Biden’s nominee to be Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said as much in his Senate Armed Services Committee Confirmation hearing. From the Washington Free Beacon:
President Joe Biden’s nominee for the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Senate “gender advisers” for combat troops are critical to the United States’ success, a position some veterans say is nothing more than a left-wing initiative that distracts from the military’s core duties.
The revelation came during a Dec. 8 exchange with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.), who asked how Adm. Christopher Grady intends to implement “women, peace, and security” legislation within the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“The role of a gender adviser is a way to attack a very significant issue, and if confirmed, I look forward to leveraging those advisers who can make me think better and smarter about the issues that you raise,” Grady said. “So I look forward to, if confirmed, understanding that ecosystem and helping advance that cause going forward again.”
Do you think Admiral Grady was always this much of a pussy-footing, tea drinker, or is he saying whatever he has to say to get a job? Whatevs! He will fit right in General Mark “White Rage” Milley. Watch and despair as Grady sucks up openly to Senator Jean Shaheen, Senator sponsor of the Women, Peace and Security Act:
Intercede for us, General Patton. This is exactly what President/General Eisenhower meant by the Military Industrial Complex. Let’s get troops killed. Let’s leave $80 million in equipment for our enemy to use against us, but our gender advisers will put gold stars on our daily reports to the Pentagon. My favorite Twitter response regarding Admiral Grady:
Adm. Christopher Grady says he will begin wearing women's lingerie to see if he feels pretty. https://t.co/ZOe3Pka5dI

This response from a Purple Heart recipient is where I stand:
“When someone nominated to be the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says something like this, it tells me top brass is aligned with radical political elements in the country,” he said. “You have people’s lives on the line. These positions aren’t about how to communicate with Afghan women, we have a diplomatic corps for that.”
As for Gender Advisers help with domestic issues, I can handle that in less than a 40 hour course:
1. Do your job.
2. Be respectful to everyone
3. Keep your hands to yourself.
4. Don’t defecate where you eat.
5. Kill the enemy and have your battle buddy’s back.
Please let me know if I missed anything. I really want a job as a Gender Adviser. Sounds like a sweet gig. And, I would love to see our military win, every time.

“Gender Advisers”…Gimme a break! We can only hope that this a-hole would one day find himself fighting alongside “gender advisers” instead of good old red-blooded fighting men.
The lily liberal left has ruined America….even before we get stomped in a war against genuine fighting men.
The job is much harder than you think. When there were only two genders, sure, anybody could do it. But now, with–what?–hundreds, it’s much harder and takes some real political savvy. Not to mention a nice GS-15 salary.
You maybe heartbroken that Trump signed that bill, but more significatly, in 2017 the GOP controlled both Houses of Congress.
Talk about “worthless…”
And if they passed it by a veto-proof majority, he may have decided not to spend the political capitol fighting it. Especially when “Veto-proof majority” is equivalent to “Removal via impeachment” vote requirements.
This is why I assign less blame to Trump on anything, including personnel, that he had to have confirmation on.
As a retired Master Sergeant, I watched the increasing politicalization of flag officers and their staffs throughout the nineties and into the second decade of the current millennium. In my considered opinion it would be best if all flag officers and bird colonels and Navy captains resigned or were cashiered NOW! Let up and coming O-5s of proven combat experience take the reigns. And while we’re at fixing the mess DoD has become, cut the number of flag officers back to 1985 levels unless there is an active shooting war declared by congress
Don’t forget, flag officers have required Senate confirmation since at least WWII. You won’t eliminate politicized officers without eliminating that.
8 years military service, 2 sons career Marines and 1 niece 2 career Army and we all agree. Obama RIFted (reduction in force) out the warrior officers and replaced them with desk jockeys who only know how to suck up and say yessir.
