Technocracy: Blog

Some of the comments for W&S have been... interesting. For various reasons, I have not replied to all messages, and have decided to delete a few messages. Believe me when I say it is for your protection.

That some readers have found my story, thus far, to be enjoyable is both pleasing and disconcerting. I've oft wondered how many members of western society are as 'unusual' as myself.

It may be a week or three before the next parts of this sick and sordid tale are posted because the text is currently a steaming pile of syntax, spelling, and grammar errors. As I am at a remote customer site, and am working 12-hour days attempting to fix the mess of moronic imbeciles, my intended posting schedule is defunct, kaput, and otherwise no longer effective.

If it is in your way, shove it aside. If it breaks, the design was defective. If it yields, it was too weak to be considered. If it does not yield, then you have met your better. Or you can try again using superior technology and poorer morals.

Today's story post is the first part of a four-part tome. These stories are not about military campaigns or conquests. They are about American Society and Culture. I will post the other parts whenever I can clean up the drafts. (I do not use an editor or a proof reader - and it shows).

When civilians listen to my soldier and Marine friends drink and babble, a common question is Are U.S. Army soldiers and U.S. Marines really that politically incorrect?

Yes. Marines and soldiers have disparaging and critical and mocking words for every race and creed and sexual orientation. But they do not care about your race or creed or sex orientation. The U.S. Army and U.S Marine Corps are also the most meritocratic and the most progressive elements of American society in the purest sense of 'progressive'. They quickly adapted to the huge cultural change from DADT to accepting and allowing openly homosexual and bisexual people serving. And for the last five years, the Army and Marine Corps has committed significant resources to the incorporation of their female members into all types of units and career paths. The American military, in general, does not care about their members' sexual orientation or political bent - they only care that you can do your job without fucking up the mission. The Army and Marine Corps serves a republic democracy, but the Army and Marine Corps are not democratic institutions, and the only people that have to be 'politically correct' are senior officers and command sergeant majors - mostly to assuage the sensitivities of our ignorant and lazy and fat politicians, and our drug and media-addled civilian population.
