Lady Gaga Rot Replaces The Sukhomlinov Effect in the American Military

This Blogger has had some empirical experiences with the American Military; enough to be stunningly bewildered by the Millennial Liberal attitude toward the American Military.

Since no Millennial Liberals have been drafted and infinitesimal numbers have volunteered, they have no empirical experience with the American Military. Consequently, they work within the naïve matrix that the American Military is a socially backward all men’s social club, such as the Garrick Club, “the plush, "gentlemen only" member's club in London's West End”  or the Caledonia Club (of which Prince Phillip is a member) or the Reform Club, where PHILEAS FOGG made his bet to go around the world in 80 days.

Millennial Liberals think that the American Military is a bastion of “clubbablity”, and that the bastion can be reformed without imperiling the security of the Republic.

Millennial Liberals truly believe that Semper fidelis is merely about clubbability.

Millennial Liberals truly believe that to make the American Military a better fighting force, better than the force which took Guadalcanal, all they must do is make the clubbability more inclusive, by indulging in social engineering, by adding women, by adding openly serving Gays and by adding Transgenders to the club. President Obama concurs with that Liberal litany.

This Blogger does not believe that the American Military is about clubbability but about killing; the clubbability is a by-product of the killing. It is the willingness to kill, and die which binds the Military, not the social graces of clubbability. The Military is not a social organization, but a killing machine masquerading as a social club.

Lady Gaga is a Millennial American performer, who once saw Tab Hunter in an old World War II movie and decided that Gays should openly serve in the American Military; she made a video about the subject.

The Obama Ascendants flocked to her Millennial standard, and a lame duck Democratic Congress Repealed DON’T ASK/DON’T TELL, the President Clinton policy which barred Gays from openly serving in the American Military.

At the time of the Repeal, a Millennial Liberal, with political connections, called this Blogger and asked for his opinion about the Repeal.

This Blogger stressed his strong opposition to the Repeal.

The Millennial Liberal said,” Gerry, there are many Gays being discriminated against in the Service; that has to end.”

This Blogger answered:”Who cares? The point of the Military is not to end discrimination against Gays but to give up their lives in hand to hand combat to defend Gay Americans on Castro Street, in Key West, in Palm Springs, in Greenwich Village, in West Hollywood, at Stonewall. The point of the American Military is to train killers and then tame those trained killers. Who cares if the American military discriminates against Gays, as long as they defend American Gays, up to and including sacrificing their lives?

This Blogger’s advice was not taken.

The Lady Gaga Repeal was passed; and Admiral Mullin( Admiral Gaga) set the Lady Gaga Rot  in motion in the American Military.

Since the Lady Gaga Rot has gone into effect, in 2011; since the American Military has become more concerned about Social Engineering than winning wars, the American Military has lost two wars, in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

Now the new Secretary of Defense is worried about transgenders in the American Military, all 15,000 of them in a Military of 1.4 million souls.

“Defense Secretary Ash Carter signaled support for allowing transgender individuals to serve in the military…MILITARYTIMES”.

The American Military is bitter from losing two wars, and licking its wounds; for those wounds, the only salve President Obama and Secretary Carter offer is open service for Transgenders.  Lady Gaga Rot is founded on mis-prioritizations.

On November 11, 2011 this Blogger published this in THE DAILY GRAND and SUNDRY.

“During the Repeal fight, pro Repeal propagandists led by Anderson Cooper and Admiral Mullen, misled  the American public into believing that women in the services were being protected, and that Gays in the Service could be…..Case in Point. the following is from the Blog: AndersonCooper Vs. The Truth about Women in the Military....... This quote from Anderson Cooper's 360 CNN Program.

KATIE MILLER, SPOKESPERSON, OUTSERVE.ORG: So I think the military will be able to adapt as a body of professionals into  the repeal of don't ask, don't tell, and eliminate these derogatory anti-gay slurs, just as they have been able to transition  with racial integration and with female integration."

That is both pure propaganda, and balderdash; in reality, outside of Repeal DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL propaganda, this is what is happening in the US Armed Forces.

"Women in the military are twice as likely to be victims of sexual assault as their civilian counterparts, studies show,while sexual abuse is the leading cause of post-traumatic stress disorder among female soldiers."

In 2015,  the  true price on female veterans of Social Engineering is being revealed:

“Women In The Military Nearly 6 Times More Likely To Commit Suicide Than Civilian Women ….MEDICAL DAILY”

Why is the suicide rate so high for female veterans? Because they have been asked by the demands of  Social Engineering to compete in War, to compete in killing, and 5,000 years of recorded history have shown that females have a difficult time competing in War. But Millennial Logic is above the lessons of 5,000 years of History, and female veterans pay the price.

“The thinking goes that if a female soldier can meet the necessary physical standards, there is no reason why she should not fight. Besides, a larger pool of candidates for the grittiest jobs will strengthen elite units. Women can also bring different skills to bear, according to Captain Katherine Fichtner of the army: the female Ranger School trainees were particularly good at planning and navigation, better map-readers…(giving the lie to that old adage about women and maps).

…. although women are smaller than men and have weaker upper bodies, effective training can build up both stamina and strength. The most important thing,…. is to find women with an appetite for combat.

Elaine Donnelly, president of the Centre for Military Readiness, disagrees. “There is no evidence that women are the physical equal of men in the combat arms.You cannot deploy people who are not capable, that will endanger both women and men.”

… After more than two years and attempts by 29 women, not one has passed the marine corps’ infantry officer course. Most fail the combat endurance test—a gruelling day’s march carrying 80lb of kit, followed by an obstacle course with 20-foot climbing ropes…. female service members’ marriages fail at three times the rate that male service members’ do. This means that 12% of active-duty women bring up children alone, compared with 4% of men.
Armed forces that adapt to the needs of their female members will probably keep them longer, making the time and cost of training them more worthwhile. 

That in turn will make the forces a more attractive career—and as more women enlist, their demands will become harder to ignore….THE ECONOMIST”

And there is the rub; the American Military was at its apex when its soldiers were  not concerned about their career paths, but only about how to kill the enemies of the Republic, the Alvin Yorks, the Audie Murphys, the Charles Rangels, Ira Hayes , the 442 Combat Regiment.

The Military does not need map readers to defend the Republic against ISIS and the ZETAS. The American Military is not a Jobs Program, and for our own well being we must stop sanitizing its purpose. Its job, mission, raison d’être is to kill the enemies of the Republic and come home alive.

If 1.4 million transgenders can do the job of defending the Republic, sobeit, make the Military all transgender; if 1.4 million Hope Solos will sacrifice their limbs and lives for the Republic, sobeit, let the Military be all female; if 1.4 million Anderson Coopers and/or Neil Patrick Harrises will kill for the Republic, sobeit, let us have a Military of Gays.

However, if Gays, Females and Transgenders are transgressive to the majority of the Christian soldiers who do the fighting, killing and dying in combat, then the Military has a morale problem, which cannot be resolved as the enemies of America close in.

One of the by-products of Social Engineering the American Military is that Generals who can win wars are passed over for Generals who are enthusiastic about Social Engineering.

General Joseph Dunford has been recently nominated to become Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff. “President Barack Obama plans to nominate Marine Gen. Joe Dunford, … who is widely considered one of the president’s closest military confidants, to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff…POLITICO”

Dunford’s claims to fame are that he supports Social Engineering and he presided over the lost war in Afghanistan.

He may also be a crook.

But a Social Engineering crook.

““KORNACKI:….. the war in Afghanistan in particular has been this never
ending font of ever more astonishing stories about stuff that we, the U.S.
taxpayers, have built, that we physically created or bought or arranged to
be procured for this war that are absolutely unneeded. That are in some
cases worst than wasteful.


For instance, the incredibly melting Afghan police training center that we spent half a million dollars of it. It melts when it rains.

Then, there`s a fleet of airplanes we bought for Afghanistan for $468 million and then ended up shredding into scrap for 6 cents a pound. That`s a loss of 99.93 percent on that investment.

And there were the giant incinerators we installed on a U.S. base for $5 million that never incinerated anything because they never worked. So, the base just torched all its waste in an open air burn pit next to the incense raters.

But one of the most expensive of all these was this marine headquarters in Helman province. It`s larger than a football field. It has elaborate state of the artwork spaces for 1,500 people. It has a state of the art briefing theater and a military operations center that included stadium-style tiered seating. It cost $36 million to build and it has never, not once, been used.

Look, you can see the plastic wrap is still on the chairs. What sets this boondoggle apart, what was particularly inexplicable about it was that the military said no to building it, repeatedly. Not one, not two, but three generals on the ground requested that the projects be canceled before
construction had even begun. 
They said, please, don`t build this. We don`t need it. By the time 
it`s finished, we`ll be drawing down from Afghanistan, anyway.

In fact, construction didn`t even begin until troops were about to start heading home from Afghanistan. But even as the base emptied out, construction continued for two years until it was 98 percent complete and furnished, despite all those people saying no. So now it`s sitting there
vacant and ready for someone else to get presumably some new U.S. taxpayer contract to knock it down. It`s never been used. ….

…. one of the three officers who the inspector general recommended be disciplined for all this….. is the top legal adviser to the man that President Obama has just put forward to be the next chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. 

And those confirmation hearings for General Joseph Dunford are expected to start next month.

General Dunford is the man who ordered that internal investigation that cleared the military of any wrongdoing. …. Rachel Maddow Show”

Why would President Obama nominate someone who lost the war in Afghanistan? Why would the President nominate someone who did some very questionable decision making in Afghanistan?

“..in Dunford, Obama would be seeking counsel from a military leader who is not likely to question administration policy publicly….Obama worked closely with Dunford when he commanded U.S. forces in Afghanistan, ….(Dunford is)  believed to enjoy good relationships with a White House that has taken control of much of national security decision-making, including in dealing with Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and other crises…Politico”.

Dunford is a Social Engineer, so even though he lost the war in Afghanistan, and maybe was involved in corruption, he has been nominated, promoted.

The Lady Gaga Rot is ubiquitous in the current American Military:.

“…. the former deputy chief of the US Air Force Lt Gen David Deptula, explaining how America has bought far too few combat aircraft during the past decade, opined, "we have a geriatric air force". But how can this be true when Nato and the US spend such vast sums of money on the military?
more than half the money goes on wages (Blogger’s Note- wages are high so that the Military remains a viable career path for Millennials)- whereas emerging powers like Russia, China, and India, spend far less on those in uniform…..As a result of its procurement practices, the Pentagon now has fighters that average 24 years and bombers that are 38 years old.
Last year it acquired fewer new planes than in any year since 1915 and was outstripped for the first time in fighter deliveries by Russia…..it is quite likely that President Vladimir Putin could test the alliance's resolve by direct pressure upon its members in the Baltic republics….BBC” .

Lady Gaga Rot has replaced The Sukhomlinov Effect in the American Military.

“The Sukhomlinov Effect describes a common pathology of armies. Particularly in peacetime, armies tend to concern themselves more with appearance and style than fighting skill, which cannot, after all, be demonstrated. … “

The Sukhomlinov Effect of looking good in snappy uniforms has been replaced by the Lady Gaga Rot, which places blind adherence to Social Engineering above military skill.

“The Dutch War of Independence, the English Civil War, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War, World War I, the Russian Revolution, World War II (in Europe), the several Arab-Israeli wars, Vietnam, the Falklands War, and the Afghan War were all lost by the side that had the snappier uniforms. There is more than a coincidence here….handsome guys with broad shoulders and splendid posture who wear the uniform well--are more likely to be promoted than those with a real talent for war, since the latter may not meet the peacetime criteria. “


The moral of Lady Gaga Rot is clear; Social Engineers are more likely to be promoted than those with a real talent for war, since the latter may not meet the social engineering  criteria. In the middle of losing two wars, it is more important for President Obama that his warriors support Social Engineering rather than exhibit a talent for war. That is the absolute definition of Lady Gaga Rot, and that is why America is losing every war it currently fights.

The Urination Of Nicole Kidman's Career

I went to see EYES WIDE SHUT in total awe of its Director, Stanley Kubrick, who had in his career Directed THE GREATEST Science Fiction/Cosmological film EVER- 2001, SPACE ODYSSEY, the BEST and MOST INSIGHTFUL film essay on American culture EVER- LOLITA, arguably the greatest war movie ever- PATHS OF GLORY, and one of the best film epics ever- SPARTACUS. Mr. Kubrick died SUDDENLY, before EYES WIDE SHUT was released. Everyone was so sad. Then I saw EYES WIDE SHUT, and understood exactly why Herr Director Kubrick had croaked so suddenly; he had willed himself to death before the release of the film, so that  he would not have to suffer the slings and shots against his declining genius. EYES WIDE SHUT is the WORST, laughably worst, porn film ever made, EVER. It starred that larger than life couple(at the time), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The key scene in the film was Ms. Kidman peeing. I was spending over $60.00(including tickets,parking and snacks for me and my date ) to watch

The Crash of Flight 447: Fate, Moliere and Veronique Gaignard

In 1954 there was the film, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY about danger in the air; that was followed by the 1964 film, FATE IS THE HUNTER about a fatal airplane crash and the followup investigation; followed by the 1970 film, AIRPORT, about a bomber on a plane, starring every living star in Hollywood at the time; followed by  the sequels, AIRPORT 75, AIRPORT 77, AIRPORT 79- THE CONCORDE. All that melodramatic danger in the air was laughed to death by the films AIRPLANE in 1980, followed by AIRPLANE II in 1982. Everything in air flight had been covered, both the tragedy and the comedy  of air travel, until Air France Flight 447. Flight 447 was the Air France  Airbus Flight from Brazil to France, which,in 2009, crashed in the South Atlantic , killing all on board,228 passengers. Airbuses fly by wire, which means they fly by computers rather than the old mechanical ways.  Very up to date, except when something goes awry, then it seems it is very difficult to set right.

Roger Cohen's Russian Think Piece in NEW YORK TIMES Begs the Question: Was Gerry Maxey Right about Russia TEN YEARS AGO?

  This Blogger respects Russians; as Frederick the Great stated :” It takes two bullets to take a Russian soldier out; one to kill him and one to  stop him.” This Blogger   likes Russians; even though once, in Moscow, during the Soviet era, his incredibly attractive tour guide, aka KGB agent, told him and his brother   that they were in danger of being hit, fatally, by a Soviet car crossing a Moscow street. T his Blogger’s brother told her that he had ridden in a Soviet Car, the LADA; and that he could damn well survive any hit by that piece of junk. She laughed. That night, this Blogger’s brother slept in his room, under his bed, drunk. This Blogger admires the way Russians do business; when Soviet diplomats were kidnapped in Lebanon, the KGB paid the ransoms immediately, without complaint. Shortly thereafter, Beirut was flooded with Soviet agents and Soviet bribes; the kidnappers were identified. They were abducted, tortured and  castrated; their dead bodies strung from l
