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.

Excellent. Great time opportunity to cut to the front of the line and transition into private security/asset protection. They’ll all have jobs making 2-4x the day after they separate.

Take an excellent sword, grind it’s edge to dullness and break off its tip.

The weakening of our armed forces, which happens with every democrat administration, is the biggest reason that our enemies feel emboldened to strike at us and out allies anywhere in the world

It is said that there is a axis of evil, namely, Russia, China and Iran.

Let there be no doubt that, that axis consists of one more major power: that being the Biden administration and any administration that the democrats put forth.

We are under attack from 4 major fronts, and the most dangerous one is right here at home.

Good point about it being a stock photo. But, if they were shopping for a stock photo, why not use one like this?

The guys in the photo in Post 18 don't look like they're in the service.
-The haircuts on most of them are out of regs.
-The guy in front has cut-off sleeves on his blouse.
-The second guy has his blouse sleeve folded like the Marines but not above the elbow.
-Numbers 5, 6, and 7 are wearing sneakers, not combat boots.
-Only number 1 and number 8 are wearing non-issued cover while the others aren't wearing cover, meaning some (or all) are out of uniform.
-Number 6 has a large non-subdued American flag on the front of his carrier.
-Number 1 has tears in his magazine holder.

I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. We might need them to fight for Ukraine.

They are ALL WHITE, too.

But it doesn’t matter. Why would they choose that first photo to illustrate elite Special Forces?

Jobs well done. Go home to your families that need you more at home than anti-America politicians need you for bullet fodder overseas.

Have many kids, homeschool, go to Church.

Do we really want a domestic standing army that is good?

Exactly !

The targets for Special Forces would be domestic opponents of the Regime.

The more Woke the better !
