Navy Seals Get Woke, Adopt Gender Neutral Language in Ethos and Creed Statements

File this one under WHY? JUST WHY?

The Blaze reports:

The U.S. Navy SEALs and the Navy Special Warfare Combat-craft Crewman have removed so-called gendered terms like “brotherhood” from their ethos and creed statements in an effort to present the Navy as gender-neutral.

Another change made to the SEAL ethos was to alter the words “A common man with uncommon desire to succeed” to “Common citizens with uncommon desire to succeed.”

The changes were made to comply with changes in the law allowing women to serve in the SEALs and SWCC, a spokesman for Naval Special Warfare told American Military News.

“Naval Special Warfare continues to deliberately develop a culture of tactical and ethical excellence that reflects the nation we represent, and that draws upon the talents of the all-volunteer force who meet the standards of qualification as a SEAL or SWCC,” Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Stroup said.

“The previous versions of the SEAL Ethos and SWCC Creed were written prior to the law allowing women to serve as operators in Naval Special Warfare,” Stroup continued. “The changes do not in any way reflect lowering standards of entry, rather they ensure that all those who meet the requirements to train to become a SEAL or SWCC are represented in the ethos or creed they live out. This improves the posture of the NSW force by ensuring we draw from the greatest pool of talent available.”

This change seems entirely unnecessary given that there are NO FEMALE SEALS. NEVER HAVE BEEN. Once a female qualifies and becomes a Navy Seal, then change the language, if you must.

It is disturbing that even our military has become woke and infected by PC culture. That does not make us stronger or more prepared to defend this nation against our enemies.

President Trump has vowed to overturn the change according to NBC News.

“I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately!” the president declared on Twitter after a pro-Trump account tweeted a link to a story about the recent moves by the Navy SEALs and the Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman program, or SWCC.

I’m with Lou Dobbs on this one, who said, “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.” Yep, that about covers it.
