News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
LIMA, OH—As part of an ever-progressing military, a new feature has been added to the next line of M1 Abrams tanks: a diaper changing table.
“The horrors of war have often been unfriendly to the busy mom on the go,” said Department of Defense spokesman Clayton Brown. “Our mission is to change things so pregnant women and working moms all feel welcome in our quagmires in the Middle East and have opportunities to blow up the locals with depleted uranium shells.”
In addition to the changing table, each new tank will also be slightly larger in order to fit a private lounge for breastfeeding. So far, women in the military love the new components. “It’s really great as a mom to have these additional features,” said Private Lorraine Hodges, though she said the tank isn’t great for small children since it’s “very noisy” and “constantly under attack.”
Go here to read the rest. Our military is slouching towards a historic defeat. The rot has been underway for quite a while, and the Puppetmaster Administration is accelerating it.
Another argument for armed citizenry.
I really don’t know if it is possible to have the same kind of wars we used to have because 1) nuclear bombs 2) power grids 3) computers
Wars in the Middle East have been fairly conventional with a guerilla component. Nukes thus far have not been used since 45 and I hope that record keeps up. I think the biggest change currently on battlefields are drones and the difficulty of assembling forces without detection due to satellites and drones.
When the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier is sunk by a cheap diesel boat submarine in the Persian Gulf or South China Sea, will President Harris – I mean Biden – repeat Caesar Augustus’ own words after the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest?
Quintili Vare, legiones redde!
Or maybe we’ll lose an Ohio class fleet ballistic missile submarine first. Mark my words –> this is what having women on ships and submarines will lead us too. With some notable Biblical exceptions (Deborah, Ja’el, Judith and a few others), there’s no room for women in combat,
This has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with deliberately deteriorating the US Army. And by the way, these sort of people don’t give a toss about so-called equality. What crazy pregnant woman is going to volunteer to be on the frontline? In 2018, I worked as an interior designer on the office fit out for a large law firm in Melbourne. One floor had a commercial kitchen (to cater for important client but also to feed employees who practically lived at their work) which I though was strange at the time. But also, and I was puzzled by this, each floor had a mother’s room for female employees so they could feed and change their babies. I found it completely bizarre that any female woman would want to drag their tiny baby to a law firm just so she could keep climbing that ladder to the sky towards goodness knows what. And I wasn’t the only designer rolling her eyes- all of the female designers on the team were mothers. Our work requires us to work long hours too with tight deadlines. We just keep asking each other- which pregnant woman is ACTUALLY going to use this room…?
“Lord Augustus each time bawling
As he fetched his head a crack,
‘Varus, Varus, General Varus,
Give me my three Eagles back!’”
“Lord Augustus tore his bedclothes,
Blankets sheet and counterpane,
‘Varus, Varus, General Varus,
Give my Regiments back again!’
