Gender neutral titles hits the military

[Vlad]

Navy secretary calls for name change from Midshipman to ???
He also wrote: "Please review the position titles throughout the Navy and ensure that they are gender-integrated ... removing 'man' from their titles."

Perhaps someone should send this clown a memo stating that "man" is already gender neutral.

man

2.
a human being of either sex; a person.
"God cares for all races and all men"
synonyms:
human being, human, person, mortal, individual, personage, soul  "all men are mortal"

You know, I was just about to join the Army and personally destroy Islam, but now I think I'm just going to be sick.

Thinking that changing titles does anything to anyone let alone be inclusive.

I hate when people say "freshpeople". It's freshmen.

As a retired Military person I can say I see no  gender bias in the titles:

Army=Soldiers

Marines=Marine

Navy=Sailor

Air Force= Sugar Britches
