Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today. British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts. The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with

However, all the US forces received Participation trophies and went home happy.

That is what can be expected when the military "leadership" in the US (Austin, Milley etc.) are focused more on wokeness, CRT training, racism, vaccine etc than warfighting.

Was it tactics or execution? Either way, I wouldn't be looking forward to the next Commander's Call

Yeah, but I'll bet those upstarts didn't have a National Gender strategy like we do.

Our Marines get to identify as girls, so why can't they identify as winners?

As the military elite would say.........
Oh well, it gives us additional time to examine the "equity" in the signs for the transgender bathroom facilities. How many and what form is of high importance to us. Yes, China and Russia are insignificant when compared to this issue. Stick around, the Pentagon spokesperson will provide further details.

Take anything from the DM with a ton of salt. Resets are common but I would love to sit in on the After Action review. The Opfor most likely went low tech to defeat sophisticated weapons and surveillance systems. Happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Better the USMC learned this lesson from its British cousins than from the Chinese. The question is whether the US military command will recognize that diversity does not win real wars.

Oh the humanity! The feelings of the gender fluid and correct marines! Girly men and manly women! Oh well, we tried our best! That is what matters! Plus the Brits are the patriarch system and we didn’t feel safe! They yelled at us and stuff! Sniff, sniff!

American generals are too woke to wake up. To them, like General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, political correctness is everything. Generals McArthur, Patton, Marshal, Bradley, Eisenhower, Pershing, Grant, Lee, Longstreet, Sherman, and even dopey Ambrose Burnside woud be appalled at such stupidity and political stoogeness to Democrat politicians. The result...we got globbered bythe Brits and Dutch in our own back yard. Will there be retribution against crummy commanders? Get real! PC comes first in the military.

Political promotions will create this sort of incompetence. Affirmative action sergeants, on up the chain of command.....and you get an incompetent, incapable force.
Not surprising. One of my nephews just left the Corps, and this sort of rotten senior enlisted leaders was a huge part of why he wanted to get clear. It literally broke his very patriotic heart, but he just was done with it. He was a sergeant, and saw his senior enlisted ranks as too infested with people interested in themselves, not in the good of the unit or the men.

When we surrendered I hope the "correct" pronouns and gender terms were used correctly. We don't want to appear to be uncouth as we are dragged off to the slave labor camp or firing squad, whatever.

The writing is on the walls folks.
Its clear our troops have been focused on 'sensitivity' training rather than military training.
No doubt all our enemies are aware of this, and asking themselves how they can use this to their advantage.
Someone is going to test us. They may well win too.

Wasn't it just a few days ago some of us were whining about how unsportsmanlike it was for one Ingleside, California, high school to beat the holy crap out of another one in football? "Running up the score" . . . waaahhh, waaah, waaah!!
That yields this.

Weren't there Safe Spaces provided for the marines who felt unsafe? Did the Brits use the correct pronouns? Were they gender and culturally sensitive to those who may have had different ways of doing things than they do? What about the environment? Those big armored vehicles certainly used a lot of fossil fuels and contributed to global warming. Our Marines had no choice but to give up in order to save the world!

Absolutely #3; this is why Milley and Austin probably consider what happened as an "extraordinary success"! Where have I heard that phrase before? Seems a bit familiar.
