Army Goes After Elite Warriors- Plans to Cut Special Operation Forces by Nearly 3,000

The U.S. Army is set to make major reductions to its special operations forces, and going after the Army’s elite warriors is no accident.

In an ever increasing effort by the Biden Administration to inject the U.S. military with as much woke propaganda as possible, special forces units remain among the few areas the woke warriors have failed to gain traction.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Army plans to cut back roughly 3,000 troops, or almost almost 10%, from its special operation forces units.

The service plans to brief Capitol Hill in the coming days on the reductions. Mostly, the Army plans to cut special-operations troops in supporting roles such as psychological warfare, civil affairs, intelligence operators, communications troops, logistics and other so-called enablers, U.S. military officials said. The cuts would follow the reallocation last year of more than 700 special-operations troops from the Army and other services. In sum, the cuts to the Pentagon’s umbrella Special Operations Command would amount to about 3,700 troops since last year.

The reductions have been fought hard from within the special-operations community, but they are expected to happen, U.S. officials said. The final documents have yet to be signed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, officials said.

According to the Journal, the cutbacks would allow the Army to rebalance toward a large conventional ground force, which would be needed for any potential fight in Asia.

I was reading that the military is going with new Eco-”Warriors” only. I guess Austin found out that the special forces guys scare the hell out of the penguins and the Cola bears.

Perfect timing. This tells us everything we need to know about the administration’s disdain for our fighting forces.

That top photo — that looks like out-of-shape recruits right off the bus arriving at boot camp, not elite special forces.

In 2002, the USAF began force restructuring. The concept was to have more SpecOps, Security Forces, and readily deployable assets for force projection.

Now the Army is cutting the actual combat effective units?

Deliberate destruction of the West.

I’ll bet that guy got his ass kicked a lot at school from Headstart through High School. No telling how many times “bullies” peed in his backpack and drank his Capri-Sun.

All masked up. I think that's the new definition of "armed to the teeth."

Looks like they might be a national guard or reserve unit. Probably just a stock photo, but could possibly be part of the new politicaly correct, DEI, lgbtqwtf Milley military.

Isn't there a name for this?

Starts with a "T" ends with "reason"? 🤔

To be replaced by REMFs, paper pushers, poofters, and pretty boys. No room for warriors in the Commie ‘RAT armed forces.

The Army is simply cutting manpower slots that they can't fill anyway.

As the Army continues it's recruiting and retention problems, the warriors are the first to depart or avoid signing up.

This should work out well. If you were out to destroy the U.S. from within what would you do differently than what the Obama/Biden cult is doing?

Not provable, but yes.

This is just one of many reasons I’m against our warmongering crew here.
Our military is not the 1980’s crew.
Everything done for diversity sake is a turn off for white Alpha males to serve.
Anyone who thinks fewer white males in the military is better is delusional.

Masks out in the fresh air are always a nice touch. At least they are all official issue black masks so they look like Hamas.

Good point about it being a stock photo. But, if they were shopping for a stock photo, why not use one like this? Why choose out-of-shape weekend warriors?

The left always fears the uniformed military because the left understands subconsciously that they, hemselves are illegitimate. The various spec forces - Seals, Delta Force, Green Berets, etc are the only remaining portion of the purged US Military that leftists believe still pose a threat to them because the men who join these units tend to retain ideals anathema to the left. Once they are gone, the only hope left for the US is that they become leaders and organizers in the society. If the leftists are thinking deeply about it the departing troops will be forcibly injected with double shots of MRNN Vaxx.
