the sequester was politics gone wrong and BOTH sides fucked up by playing chicken with each other

Whereas it would be nice to properly compensate the American fighting man, so much of the military these days is becoming so politically correct I'm losing my enthusiasm for it. Much of the military promotion system is social engineering these days, and it actually benefits left wing political causes such as women generals and promotion of homosexuals, as well as throttling the opinions of chaplains who disagree with homosexuality. Once the right wing realizes the military is being used for that, they may stop joining and projecting liberal American power around the globe.
