COSMO CORPS (via Kevin Whited):

Your Mother’s Army (George Neumayr, 6/4/2004, American Spectator)

Kerry's selection of Claudia Kennedy to his board of military advisers is illuminating: he is now taking advice on how to strengthen the military from feminists intent on weakening it. Claudia Kennedy once bragged to West Point cadets that "this is not your father's Army anymore!" As the press reported in the 1990s, Kennedy didn't like the word "enemy"; she relied instead on the term "peer competitor."

Hillary Clinton was so impressed with Kennedy's political correctness she named Kennedy her "favorite general." While Kennedy never received a Purple Heart from Bill Clinton for getting chased around a desk, she received many honors and served in important posts. One of her more noteworthy contributions was her launching of the "Consideration of Others" (COO) training program.

People magazine reported that Kennedy entered the military after filling out an Army enlistment coupon in Cosmopolitan magazine. She had hoped to feminize the military and did. But not all of her subordinates appreciated her vision for a softer military. The press reported their criticism of her for "giggling" at an intelligence conference.

All that PC military stuff is bad enough during peacetime, as in the 90s, but we can ill afford it during wartime.
