No it isn't! Your child unwilling to admit that you are related to them is your child disrespecting you. If they are in the armed forces they are adults, if they have to refer or defer to their Mommy and Daddy they are to immature to be there.
Good call, being a parent, that flew right over my head, Not much different than getting home from work, change a diaper that hasn't been tended to and tossing to "someone" who inadvertently woke up and threw it back! ahh the good ol day's ! are behind us now. And i'm not the one my daughter hates now ! doin the math...
If someone in our military gets upset by hearing the word, mom or dad. They probably need to be on the couch and not be carrying a gun in our military.
I really don't think anyone on the entire face of the planet Earth is getting upset over the use of "mom and dad." 🤣🤣🤣Please find me someone who is getting upset over it! It's just switching to an inclusive language that includes all parents.
I would not extend that to the country as a whole. Certain groups who have managed to get into positions of power are debased and vile such as General Brown and the current DOD hierarchy. I would like to think that the greater majority of Americans are as disgusted and dismayed at the nonsense going on as you or I.
At least they left out pelosi, and aoc's crap about 'birthing people'. I heard a lefty maggots msmob fascist propaganda site anchor use that term the other day and haven't been that pissed off in years.
@@georgehopper7310 Having spent 24 years in the USAF I watched for more than 2 decades the Department of Defense and the USAF turn from war fighting to social engineering and it was something absolutely dis gusting to see and live through. At one point we spent millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars attending social engineering classes on the use of one word. The word itself did not always have a negative connotation, was not racially motivated, or single out any one group. We took 3 1- 1.5 hour classes to harangue the men in the USAF on how guilty we are of being men, nothing else and that we would face disciplinary action if we were ever heard using this one word. I even brought two respected dictionaries to class to prove this word was not in any way meant to demean any group of people. He had no answer except that he had been ordered to teach this so called class. This happens every day in the USAF. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars on things like this instead of weapons , safety issues...etc. The USAF leads the way in political and social correctness. You cannot even approach leadership about this subject because you become a target at this point. I'm glad I'm retired. Seeing this really breaks you down and destroys morale making you think of all the years you wasted on a social engineering project, and yes I did spend time in combat in both Afghanistan, Iraq, and a couple more conflicts.
@@Hardradi-hkh9596skp I wonder how much money they spent just on those two words remember when we used to spend money on fixing our gear now we spend money on words
The fact that anyone would be so emotionally disabled from hearing the words mom and dad is embarrassing. Like, I don’t trust you have the emotional resolve to serve the county bravely if you’re this affected by words. In addition, it’s just a further attempt to dismantle the family in general
Want moms and dads to be birthing people then remove the child by 5 to raise as robotic minions-what they're trying to do with-in the schools already. F'ing soros and those like him that have run out of every other type of game making their billions decided the best game to play would be with people as pawns.
These aren't the type of people who would serve as special operators. Its for those who would level some type of trumped-up "words hurt me" charge leveled against a special operator who has no time for such delusion.
How many times has this individual avoided the questions not only in this period but every other one he has participated in!!!!! Calling him a general is a disparaging to any good general, if there truly are any that haven't sold out!!!!!
Once again, they are so concerned about hurting the feelings of a small minority that they completely ignore the feelings of the majority. Where do they get the idea that alienating the majority of their cadets will build teamwork? For the record, I never knew my father. I was raised in a mother/grandmother/grandfather household, and in the 20 years I served in the Navy, the only reference I ever heard to parents is in Boot Camp when the Company Commanders and Drill Instructors reminded us that our Mamas weren't there to help us, and we had to suck it up. And no one cried.

I am offended that our "Leaders" do NOT value Motherhood and Fatherhood! Such a shame that we have to strip such important value our of our "discussions". shame on our Nation's "Leaders" for not standing-up and stressing the importance of those basic --BASIC roles of our child care! It is sad that they consider Fathers and Mothers a "privilege".
I would have asked "How do you think your Mother/Father would feel listening to you today?" He'd be balling his eyes out after I got done with his snowflake aze!
I'll brag about it--- I love my parents! So proud that they were responsible in their decisions to have children together. It saddens me that some (apparently like you) feel shamed about their "privilege".
As a son of a WWII Army sargeant, former Naval Officer, and father of an Army combat veteran, I am disgusted by this general's take on "Mom and Dad" usage.
So now we are going to pander to the few to insult the many. Mom and Dad is what its all about, for anyone who didn't have them I'm sorry. To try and normalize or exclude them, Mom and Dad from any verbiage is flat out asinine. Nothing wrong with traditions or traditional family, that is how society and the human race made it this far. We have deprioritized this and that is why we are failing now. Arrogance and lack of gratitude for our first and most enduring social circle/bond, family.
@@atticuswalker8970. Is he such a snowflake ❄️ that he can’t handle knowing that he has a dead parent? So do I, but that’s life and I only have fond memories.
I came from an abusive home, as in sexual and more and being kept home from school when bruises were visible, that kind of thing. Still, whatever emotions I feel towards my mom and dad does not negate that they are my biological mom and dad. Nor should I somehow force others to feel bad for having loving parents, or include them or whatever. We all come from different families. That should mean that we ADD all of those other terms in addition to mom and dad, don't push the terms mom and dad aside and assume people won't get offended.
@atticuswalker8970 Incorrect, every orphan has biological donors. I guarantee you they call the closest people to them their mum or dad. All kids want a mum/dad, and if a parental figure allows it, they will call them their mum/dad.
😠now that is going too far about Moms and Dads, trying to ruin the family structure. As a military officer he should be ashamed of himself for spouting such BS.

Uh, this is happening across all branches. I'm gonna take it you have never served, or if you did, it definitely wasn't in a combat role or in a joint force environment. While good natured ribbing of the branches happens, it doesn't take away the importance of the role that each branch plays. If you think the military could operate without one another you don't understand how the military operates.
They dis favor a mom and a dad.... who are also the same people who are begging people to work as teams together. They are just too stupid to know they are trying to kill the very people they are trying to help. ....
I'm a retired soldier. While in both the Regular and Reserve components, I have always distrusted what comes out of that 5 sided puzzle Palace. On the otherhand, those folks serve at the pleasure of whichever President is in the WH at the time. They echo the mindset of what comes out of the Big Puzzle Palace at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
As a former AF NCO, I can tell you, anyone in my command that objected to the words "mom" or "dad" would have more to worry about than having their precisous "feelings" hurt. I have a Mom and Dad, any any little limp wristed-recruit who tells me different wouldn't last a day working for me. Sheeesh.... LMAO!
A lot of respect and faith and desire. This is one of the most powerful bodies in the world today. It has desecrated the space of the USA 🇺🇲🦉⭐ The greatest army in the history of history.
This is B S. What does saying mom and dad have anything to do with being a member of the military. This is ridiculous. Diversion for real problems like, securing the borders, protect the country from foreign and domestic terrorists and ectt.
Why wouldn't it encourage some folks who didn't grow up in an ideal environment to become good moms and dads? My mom and dad were divorced, they were still mom and dad.
If a person is offended by the terms “mom and dad”, then my common sense (and my experience as a former Air Force officer) tells me there are serious issues with that person that will detract from his or her unit’s strength and cohesiveness.
The military should NOT BE INCLUSIVE. IT NEVER WAS BEFORE. The brotherhood I developed in the Corps was for life. I called my fellow Marines brothers and sisters and my superior sometimes got called Dad or Mom as they were our Fathers or Mothers when we needed them to be.
There is something seriously wrong with the way things are going in our country. One group will be offended while the other group is fine with the way things are. So what's the answer. But there is no discussion. It's like "Surprise" this is what we decided and here it is. Crazy. All these higher up military men sit there with all these metals on their suits and they come across like men who have forgotten what that uniform stands for. Where have all the good men gone, it's a shame. I see sell outs.
You're EXACTLY right. They're $ellout$. Ovomit fired all generals in our military that were condidered to be dissenters. (i.e. those who loved our country) Austin did the same his first 90 days in office. The rest were discharged for not taking the 💉. They made them file for religious exemptions in order to identify & remove Christians. The ones left are $ellout$ & pure eee vee eye elle. 👹🤢 🇺🇸🙏🏼💞
The first and most important factor in the demise of a country is to destroy the family. I thought the military was supposed to protect the country not aide in its destruction.
What a bunch of BS from the Air Force Chief of Staff. He has a pitiful defense of wokeism. I served in the Air Force for 23 years and taught at the Air Force Academy. Sad to see the leadership who buy into this.
Human beings have a basic language built in. It has about 50 "reserved words" predefined genetically. Mom and Dad are with minor approximation changes the 2 deepest reserved words. This is basic to humanity. Disfavoring Mom and Dad terms is anti-human.
WHY should a supposably Military organization concern themselves on whither or not the terms mom or dad is used. I would think and hope that the military has OTHER things to spend their thought process on. And to have a 4 star general spend time on this subject seriously questions whether they DESERVE 4 stars let alone 1 star.
I remember in grade school late 1950s the teacher telling us that in the Soviet Union children actually turned their parents in for saying something negative about the government. We could not believe a child would do that to their parents. However if the parental bond is weakened sufficiently, where Mom and Dad is replaced by some more generic term birthing person for example the bond between parent and child is diminished. This is only about lessening parental control and enhancing state control. Who determines school curriculum< the state. Who opposes parental influence in school curriculum? The state. In other words get those damn parents out of child rearing.
I'm sorry but if you're feelings are hurt to the point it may effect your effectiveness or readiness to defend this country because I assumed you had a Mom and Dad than I'd suggest your in the wrong place. Your being trained and paid to fight and kill if necessary! Not to have your "feelings" validated!
It's a disrespect to parents we've earned those rights to be a mom and a dad

WHY should a supposably Military organization concern themselves on whither or not the terms mom or dad is used. I would think and hope that the military has OTHER things to spend their thought process on. And to have a 4 star general spend time on this subject seriously questions whether they DESERVE 4 stars let alone 1 star.
I remember in grade school late 1950s the teacher telling us that in the Soviet Union children actually turned their parents in for saying something negative about the government. We could not believe a child would do that to their parents. However if the parental bond is weakened sufficiently, where Mom and Dad is replaced by some more generic term birthing person for example the bond between parent and child is diminished. This is only about lessening parental control and enhancing state control. Who determines school curriculum<
the state. Who opposes parental influence in school curriculum? The state. In other words get those damn parents out of child rearing.
This Air Force general is completely wrong
Pretty sure everyone has a mom and dad!
I'm sorry but if you're feelings are hurt to the point it may effect your effectiveness or readiness to defend this country because I assumed you had a Mom and Dad than I'd suggest your in the wrong place. Your being trained and paid to fight and kill if necessary!
Not to have your "feelings" validated!
Just because someone wears stars doesn't mean they are real generals. Remember we have men pretending to be women too...
