Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am’
to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors

No more “Yes, sir!”
The US Marines may ban recruits from respectfully addressing senior members as “sir” or “ma’am” to avoid “misgendering” and offending them.
The woke recommendation was made in a new $2 million report commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh.
The exhaustive, 738-page study that the Marines first commissioned in 2020 said traditional ways of addressing superiors were holding back gender integration.
“Employing gender-neutral identifiers eliminates the possibility of misgendering drill instructors, which can unintentionally offend or cause discord,” the study said.
“By teaching recruits to use gender-neutral identifiers for their drill instructors, Services underscore the importance of respecting authoritative figures regardless of gender.”
The two-year study by the University of Pittsburgh’s Warrior Human Performance Research Center also said that “the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment.”
“Instead of saying ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir,’ recruits in these Services refer to their drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by their last names,” it said.
“Gendered identifiers prime recruits to think about or visually search for a drill instructor’s gender first, before their rank or role.”....

One commenter under this Post article approved, saying that should a Marine be captured by enemy forces he/she will at least use approved pronouns.
When I heard about this new policy my first thought was that this is nothing new. Dr. Pierce wrote an article in the Alliance's Attack! tabloid in 1979 -- 43 years ago! -- addressing the lower quality of U.S. military recruits then. Presently, recruiting offices aren't meeting minimum recruiting objectives and the branches aren't retaining personnel, and it's not due only to their refusals to be jabbed by mandatory vaccinations. Some of the problem has to be lowered morale traced to these silly policies against using "sir" and "ma'am" -- a southern thing that shows respect by the user when addressing an elder or one of superior rank.
