Breitbart: where the clickbait at the bottom of the page is better written than the articles.

Not happy about this. I was a reservist in the Queen"s Own Rifles of Canada and my first rank was "Rifleman" and not "rifle-person" or "rifleer" or "riflewoman". Will this political correctness nonsense ever end?

Why not...when gender is now just a matter of opinion?

"Infanteer"? It sounds so infantile. The Queens Own Infanteers....that sounds more like gay adoptions than a combat unit.

That's the Queen's anything....sounds like that.

Grenadier, grenademan...maybe it's just what people are accustomed to hearing. On the plus side, they're not Soldaten.

They aren't soldiers? Don't let them hear you say that.

If you have two X chromosomes, you're female. One X and one Y, you are male. No operation can change what God created.

[JB White]

Tell that to a gender freak and its PC supporters who claim there is no God. Not unless it's to get society to back down. Then it's, "God made me this way. I'm just a (perverted POS) trapped inside this body".

I took the liberty of filling in the blank.

JB I mean they're not speaking kraut now on account of a war almost 80 years ago. 80 years? Wow, some of my ammo collection is getting up there.
