Lt Col Fred Dibella

Seeing through the "Amazon warrior" BS. Pray we don't ever have to ask our obamatized priss-troops to defend us from some bad-ass Korean and Chinese armies. It will go down like this: they will have strategic nukes planted in all large US cities to hold them hostage. Then the barbarians will slice through out "Army" to take everything we hold dear. There is no technology to save us.

For two years as a senior combat trainer (observer/controller) at the National Training Center and another two as the G3 of the 1st Armored Division in Germany, I was fortunate enough to be responsible for their training as around 50 Armor and Infantry branch Lieutenant Colonels lead their battalions through the most rigorous, realistic large unit training the US Army has ever offered. I conducted the formal after action review for every battle and so was very familiar with what took place and why. If the "battles" we fought had taken place with real ammo instead of lasers, artillery simulators, and subjective mine field and air attack assessments, every single one of those battalion commanders would have lost (dead, wounded, captured or destroyed) the equivalent of at least three complete battalions worth of men and equipment over the space of just two weeks. Every single one, that is except Fred Dibella.   At the National Training Center, Fred's battalion soundly defeated the best "Soviet Armored Regiment" that ever strapped on tanker boots in 5 consecutive battles! And it was not even close!  Lt Col Dibella understood tactical warfare and how to prepare his leaders and their men before they ever arrived on the battlefield. They came to the NTC with a mutual understanding of how every single piece of the task force affected every other piece and they understood that every leader's battle plan must support the plan of the entire task force. The manner in which Lt Col Dibella had prepared and trained his leaders and soldiers before the first shot was ever fired was the best I have ever seen. The manner in which they actually fought the NTC battles was unequaled!    My entire experience with Lt Col Fred Dibella was over the course of those two weeks. But I can tell you that he knew more about how to fight and how to train his people to fight than any other battalion commander I had the opportunity to help train. So pay attention to what he writes in the article that follows. Mac Johnson   In a 2015 memo by the Secretary of the Army to worldwide Army Commands, the Secretary dictated that 'Commanders and soldiers will balance lactation support and readiness.'   In response, COL (Ret) Fred Dibella, USMA Class of '69 and former TAC of Company F2 at West Point wrote: "Ok, I've had all I can stomach. I'm done. Scroll down and read this crap right now, if you think I'm kidding, then come back to my remarks, if you haven't puked your guts out. (USMA '69 forum, feel free to permanently ban me from your rolls, but I've had enough.)   Obama and his lackeys have now systematically laid the groundwork to accomplish what no battlefield enemy has ever done; that is, to emasculate the United States Military. I honestly don't know how he could have done it more effectively. He's dangerously downsized the force; he's rooted out warriors like Stan McChrystal and Carter Ham from the General and Flag Officer ranks and installed puppets like George Casey and Martin Dempsey; he not only obliterated 'Don't ask, Don't tell'; he searched long and hard to find an openly gay (and utterly unqualified) man to be Sec Army; he opened not just combat arms to women, but the absolute tips of the spear in Infantry, Armor and Artillery, and the predictable result is directives like "balance lactation support and readiness?"   Seriously? SERIOUSLY??? Balance lactation support and readiness!?     Sorry, I'm old school, but I THOUGHT READINESS WAS NEVER, EVER COMPROMISED… let alone for "lactation support".   Have we gone completely mad?!? Do you think for a moment that the greatest fighting force the planet has ever known is immune to emasculation? That there's nothing that Obama can do to significantly degrade its lethality?  That somehow we will magically prevail, despite all this crap?   Here's the blunt truth, and if you think this flies in the face of political correctness and/or liberal theology… congratulations.   The most important reason the US Military has been so dominant, so lethal, and so unbeatable over that last 200 years is that we subscribe to a Warrior Ethos. We're not quite Sparta, but we ain't been far behind. That is, until now. Up to now, we have recognized the blatantly obvious: That battles and wars are won by Alpha Males. And why is that? Uh… because men and women may well be equal in the eyes of God, but they damned sure ain't identical in the laws of physics and psychology. Men are, by and large, bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive, more violent, more ferocious, more intense, more powerful, more brutal, more belligerent, more destructive, AND THEREFORE MORE LETHAL than women.   You don't buy that? Tell you what – pick 50 men at random from anywhere and 50 women. Put 'em in a big ring and tell 'em to fight to the death. Have a problem immediately predicting the outcome? If you do, I can't help you.  You're an idiot or a flaming liberal who believes that "Laura Croft, Tomb Raider" is real.    Why do you think Martin Dempsey, Obama's personal lackey in uniform, issued his famous proclamation? You know the one: "If women can't pass the standards at Ranger school, SEAL school, and other similar training programs, then the standards will have to be justified to me".     God help me, but am I the only one who sees through that bull? I guess the Rangers at Point du Hoc weren't good enough, huh Martin? Neither were the SEALS at Benghazi? I guess Delta's incredible successes are not sufficient.   'We must reassess the standards'. Total crock of ----. Scrape away the BS, and here's the residue: We're gonna lower the bar 'till the women can get over it, period. Think that'll have any effect on lethality? BTW, how'd you like to be the Ranger School Commandant who goes to Massa Dempsey's office to 'splain why women aint' makin' it? Think he might avoid that by "adjusting" things a bit?   But it's more than physicality. It's about the laws of nature. That is, when young men and women are put together they respond to hormones rather than 'good order and discipline'. 1976:  Women are introduced to West Point.   Regulations strictly prohibited fraternization among cadets. Hahahahahahaha. Written by some idiot, no doubt.  They were bangin' each other like rabbits. Trust me, I had a ringside seat. But that wouldn't happen in a Ranger squad, or a SEAL team, right? If you said, "Right", then you're an idiot. The squad/team leader is messin' around with a female and there's no degradation to good order and discipline, right? The previous "Brotherhood" that formerly bonded warriors together won't be affected, right?    So we now have a female Commandant of Cadets at West Point. See how freaking enlightened we are? We can appoint females to the leadership roles at the nations' premier School for Warriors. That is, the nations' FORMER premier School for Warriors. West Point is now the tip of the Political Correctness spear. We have gay marriages at the cadet chapel, we have kindness and compassion seminars, we even have Sensitivity Officers on cadet staffs - right next to the Operations and Logistics Officers - to ensure that Alpha Males do not behave like Alpha Males. We dumb 'em down now. We used to understand that good warriors were a little rough around the edges. We tolerated that, because we knew 'em for what they were… Patton comes immediately to mind.   Instead, now we intentionally extract the fangs from the sheepdogs, just about the time when the wolves from Islam are stalking the flock…   Obama gave us Obamacare, which is now sinking under its own sick formula. Good thing, because the gutless Republicans couldn't bring themselves to defund it. Obama has given us Sotomayor and Kagan, two flaming Liberals who will sit on that bench for a generation of Looney Tunes. Obama has demonstrated his racism, his socialism, his disdain for law enforcement and even his proclivity for Islam (the "peaceful" religion… what a laugh).   He's been the single most divisive and destructive POTUS in my lifetime. America, thanks to him, is at war with itself. GOP vs 'Crats, Blacks vs Whites, Haves vs Have-nots, Women vs Men, Armed vs Unarmed, you name the category… we have two sides at war with each other.   The debt is approaching $20 Trillion. That's such a ridiculous number that even economists can't fathom it. More than half of it generated on Obama's personal watch. We have no national border. None. Agents have been defanged, and the illegal aliens come across at will. The problems in Arizona and Texas are ignored by Obama.  Israel has gone from being our most trusted and respected ally in the Mideast to being openly discredited, condemned and insulted by him. The nuclear deal with Iran was and is a joke. Un-vetted Syrian male "refugees"… well hell, come to America! It's all so transparent. You elect an utterly totally unqualified candidate with dangerous background affiliations in his past, and this is what you get: a self-inflicted wound.   But it all pales, in my humble world, to his destruction of the American Military. These are the guardians of our way of life. These are the warriors. These are the "rough MEN who allow us to sleep soundly, because they stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm". But go ahead, America: let this ideologue continue the systematic defanging of our fighting force. Let him feminize it. Let him drag it into the political correctness cesspool. Let him continue the social engineering and tinkering. Keep putting high heel shoes on male cadets, so they can "empathize". Forget all our hard-fought lessons at Khe Sanh, the Chosin Resevoir, Bastogne, Belleau Wood, Gettysburg, and Bunker Hill. Let the idiots tell you that war is "push button" now, so anyone can be a warrior.    Go ahead…    Historians won't have a difficult time analyzing this disintegration. We were just too timid to put a stop to the madness… "   Dibella
