This will lead to zero discipline and young recruits defying their drill instructors and gaining authority over them, and their base command whenever they 'feel' they need a change of venue.


The US Army is proposing a policy that would allow soldiers to request a move if they do not like the local laws on gender, racism(?), or abortion.

Is there a single state today that discriminates based on race?

It was just last year the US Army released a recruitment ad targeting gays and kids of gays.

This is the same US Army that just lost a war to 10th Century barbarians and left them $80 billion in US weapons.

Military.com reported:

The Army is circulating a draft policy tweak that would specify that soldiers can request to move if they feel state or local laws discriminate against them based on gender, sex, religion, race or pregnancy, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the plans.

The guidance, which would update a vague service policy to add specific language on discrimination, is far from final and would need approval from Army Secretary Christine Wormuth. But if enacted, it could be one of the most progressive policies for the force amid a growing wave of local anti-LGBTQ and restrictive contraception laws in conservative-leaning states, where the Army does most of its business.

The policy would ostensibly sanction soldiers to declare that certain states are too racist, too homophobic, too sexist or otherwise discriminatory to be able to live there safely and comfortably.
 
First, in the USAF you can request whatever you want but the service has the final say in where you go. If you don't want to go to Texas and they send your happy ass to Texas over your request, that's called tough shit baby. There are a number of locations around the world where servicemembers don't want to go for a number of reasons; if you refuse to go then they'll probably kick you out PDQ on a General Discharge. I would assume it's pretty much the same deal in the Army.

Then by logical extension I submit Joe must effect an EO for all of America that we can "opt out" of his Biden Administration for a real one if we don't like his total absence of leadership and good governance!

Yeah . . . much of the modern Army is a travesty these days. I'm glad now (in retrospect) that I pulled the plug and got out (permanently this time, really for sure) in 2020 after nearly thirty years. In training battalions unit cohesion is vital for soldiers' successful completion of whatever course or school. In duty station battalions unit cohesion is terminally critical for the survival of the individual soldier and unit as a whole. I can't see real unit cohesion in either setting where political ideology overrules SOP, doctrines, training and maneuver planning/schedules and dictates the quality of soldier who rotates in. I guess the Army's about to go plug and play with soldier MOS and school training. Will we see enlisted finance clerks in combat engineer battalions trying to tie into ring mains now? Or enlisted HR secretaries in line Ranger Battalion units? Stay tuned . . . for looney tunes.

In the Army they used to give you something called a dream sheet to fill out. You'd list the five duty stations you wanted most and then the Army would decide, of course. They called it a dream sheet for a reason, by the way.
