Put this one in the “You’ve Gotta Be Kidding Me” file: The Pentagon has spent just short of
$700,000 since 2009 training soldiers on when it is appropriate to kiss a
woman, the Washington Free Beacon
reports. Alas, it’s true.
Author
and speaker Mike Domitrz conducted “Can I Kiss You” training the last week of
April in Fort Eustis, Virginia, instructing soldiers to ask a woman for
permission before kissing her at the end of a date, “no matter what.” Domitrz
works with the Date Safe Project and traverses the globe “teaching” people
about consent. The DSP has received contracts from the Pentagon totaling
$697,627 since 2009. The Fort Eustis event was part of Sexual Assault Awareness
Month and was intended to spark “a conversation about relationships and intimacy.”
“Relationships
and intimacy,” that’s exactly the
kind of training our military needs!
“Did
the training increase our efficiency, sir?”
“No.”
“Did it
increase our readiness?”
“Well, no.”
“Enhance our fighting spirit?”
“No.
But, dammit, our soldiers are more polite and gentlemanly than an Ivy League
ambassador at a chastity convention! They really know how to act around the
ladies!”
They
shouldn’t have to worry about what
might be a proper time to kiss a woman to whom they are attracted. At least not
while in uniform. Putting women in close quarters with male soldiers, whether
in peace time barracks or in life or death combat situations is a terrible idea
and a needless distraction from the one vital job the soldiers should be tasked
to do. Secondly, most women themselves would disagree with the mandate for men
to ask them for permission before
kissing them. I personally know many females that say, “If you have to ask…” or, “It spoiled the mood,” or
“Next time just do it if you want
to.”
Thank
God the social justice warriors weren’t around during the Revolutionary War, World
War II, or the Civil War. We had real warriors in those fateful times.
Outside of Trenton, New Jersey, January
1777
“General
Washington, where are your troops? We have a real chance to catch the British
unawares, sir!”
“They’re
in relationship and intimacy
training, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, and can’t be bothered!”
Near St. Vith, in the Ardennes, December
1944
Brigadier
General Bruce Clarke: “Our boys can’t hold out much longer! Where’s Patton and
his Third Army?!”
Aide:
“He says they’ll be on their way as soon as their “Can I Kiss You or Hug You”
training is complete, sir!”
July 1863, near Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania
Major
General George Meade: “Where are our re-enforcements, Corporal?”
Corporal:
“Well, it’s like this, sir. The fellas haven’t completed the mandatory training
yet.”
General
Meade: “What do you mean, Corporal? They completed it and mustered out months
ago!”
Corporal:
“Not that training, sir. I mean their
“Etiquette and Affection” drills, sir! This is
the Civil War, sir!”
The
famous V-J Day kiss, where the victorious, elated sailor grabbed a female
stranger in a white dress on the streets of New York City, then bent her over
and gave her a lengthy smooch, would be considered an “assault” today. (Yet,
the U.S. still hasn’t brought Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to trial for masterminding
the deaths of thousands of American citizens on 9/11). I guess that’s just what
happens “as time goes by.”
It’s just what progressives do
In order for them to prove
The simple facts of life aren’t much
For leftists to remove

You
must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, only with permission granted
The fundamental things, you see, have been recanted
As time goes by.

And
when two lovers woo
They must say, "May I touch you?"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
