Truer words have never been spoken. I and my wife are Retired Military. We met at UCSD. She was an exchange student from the Philippines studying Finance and Accounting. I was an Electrical Engineering student. We were both ROTC. We joined the US Navy. She did one tour. I made it a career.
The US Military is under active assault by leftists who have infiltrated it as they have infiltrated our Government and our Churches at all levels.
This is a DECADES long effort by the left. The one thing the American Left have in common with Islamists and Communists is they play the Long Game.
Infiltration of traditional American Institutions over time is an integral part of their long-term plan to undermine our country and our Constitution towards their goal of an American Communist country where the people have no rights and the people belong to the gov’t.

Men with backbones and balls are being chased out of the military. All branches. The left thinks that’s OK because our military is strong. It’s only been strong because men with backbones and balls have made it that way. The military is being turned into a paper tiger.
The only thing that would save this nation in the event of invasion will be armed citizens. That is our nations strength.

Ray Starmann is joking when he says that there are women that really do thing that the average woman is as strong as a man. I saw with my own eyes one stupid woman slapping away on a man for nearly two minutes until he let go one bitch slap from him knocked her out and down.

Diversity is Readiness!

Sure, in the imaginary rainbow world that progressives inhabit. In the real world, diversity as a military priority is utter cluelessness...

Anybody who served on a joint NATO exercise knows diversity degrades readiness. We’re stuck with a bunch of slow-learners.

Let me give you my perspective on what the military needs to do. This is based on 3 college degrees and 3 plus decades in and around the DoD. The military has two basic jobs: deterrence and fighting. Deterrence means looking so capable, so willing, so abel to impose your will that no-one wants to try it. Fighting is what happens when the other side is desperate or no longer believes the deterrence factor. Everything else is second level BS. Nation building, setting examples for domestic policy, police actions... All fluff and unimportant to the primary mission: kill the enemy. You must show such focus, such determination, such resolve that you win, with or without actually fighting. All time, money, energy, or other resources spent on anything else in the military are wasted. The military is the rabid, barely controlled dog you let off the leash only in the most dire of circumstances. But when you do slip the chain, you let it do what it does best. You don’t micromanage, you don’t second guess. You give it objectives and constraints and stand the f back. It is going to be bloody. It is going to be ugly. You want it bloody and ugly and repulsive because you never want to have to to it. You want everyone on all sides afraid of you, afraid of what happens when that line is crossed.

They might be dead as a military to fight a foreign adversary…but they may be just fine as an SS to put the traditional Americans under the boot heel.

Isn’t Rachel Levine a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service? (As insane as that all sounds).

Not the U.S. Navy.

I was privileged to serve in an Air Defense Artillery battalion in Germany from 77-81. During my last two years, my battalion commander took us from a C-3 to a C-1 (Combat Ready).

How did he do it? He demanded imagination and independence from his officers, and he held us accountable. When I made one of my many mistakes of commission, (hey, I was a 1st LT, lol), the Old Man would chew me out, and that was that. He never held a grudge, it was over the minute I walked out his door.

He also made a concerted effort to weed out the malcontents and poor soldiers. In his first year of command, he discharged over 60 soldiers, or about ten per cent of the battalion. It took hundreds of hours and a ton of paperwork, but it was worth the effort.

The message got through, and it improved morale immensely.

I can only imagine what higher HQ would do to him today, and it ain't good. One thing's for sure, there wouldn't be anymore anatomically correct birthday cakes at Battalion HQ, ordered from a local bakery by the Old Man's Secretary. I'll leave it to your imagination, but the cherry was strategically placed.

We both returned to Fort Bliss about the same time. Providence put us in the same apartment complex in El Paso, where we reconnected. After the Captain's Course, I worked for him again at the agency tasked with testing weapons systems under development.

There's too many of us with prior military experience for them to try to control us. They won't know how to react when fire is returned from the unlikeliest of locations.

Yup, I said that the day Biden was sworn in. America is finished.

In stead of men defending their women and children making cities civilian targets, we are making it a Military Necessity that our extended family members are targeted in the next war.

The essance of war is fundamentally changed to extermination by militarization of adults.

Imagine the ease of ending the Resistance under this change in military doctrine... just kill everyone over 12 years old..

Nice fantasy. Fact is no one will ever use their guns.
2nd fact. The left won't have to take them. They now have many other ways to control you.
