‘Where Are The Admirals? Where Are The Generals? Where Are the Veterans?’
American Thinker ^ | 22 Jun, 2021 | Jeff M. Lewis

Critical Race Theory will destroy a noble institution built entirely on colorblind merit.

On 17 August 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower prescribed a Code of Conduct for members of the Armed Forces of the United States. The purpose was to inform each service member in a combat unit about their basic responsibilities when engaged in combat or if they were captured by enemy forces. Of the six articles, the first and sixth articles are particularly powerful reminders about the Armed Forces’ mission and the dedication each member requires to complete that mission:

Article 1

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

Article 6

I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

SNIP

Critical Race Theory does not build up, it tears down. There is nothing aspirational or uplifting about it. And as a springboard to establishing “diversity” as a goal unto itself, as its own concurrent priority, inculcating those values into troops will not equip the military to succeed at its first, and most important goal, which is to fight and win in armed conflict.

Critical Race Theory is antithetical to the principles each military branch teaches, particularly in “boot camp” or “basic training.” This entry-level training -- and the arduous nature of the entire indoctrination into military service -- must necessarily diminish each recruit’s or candidate’s individual identity and replace it with the aspirational goal of becoming part of a successful, elite team with its own service’s unique culture and esprit de corps.

Communism has never had anything in common with fighting for freedom.

They will push and push and push until we reach a point of break. That breakpoint will be very clear. If the forces of good stand in the majority, the forces of evil will be put down quickly. In the event of the opposite, pray.

“Start making plans to take down the number one cause for all this crap... The Media... Hit the heads of the major media and that would be a significant contribution...”

For every one here. Be very careful when replying to posts like this above that could be claimed are calling for violence.
Many of these kinds of posts are done by people working for the fbi as agents of influence to try to set up Patriots.
Not saying the post I highlighted is an actual case of such, just using it as an example.
Just saying be careful because this site like many other conservative/Patriotic sites are thoroughly penetrated by fbi narcs.

What breakpoint? We have not stood against evil in any way. Where were the Christians when each evil was pushed onto the scene?
I was surprised that there were pro-marriage demonstrations in Europe when their political class pushed that there. There was nothing in so-called Christian America.

“We’re too busy working.” = doing nothing
“I don’t care what others do in private.” = doing nothing
“I still use (aka give money to) facebook, twitter, my liberal church because my friends and family are there.” = doing nothing.

I don’t think God hears the prayers of such unrighteous people.

I second that statement. Watch out what you say in posts. Watch out for what is in private mail messages you reply to (not just what you say, but what is in the message you are replying to). Also be careful about personal conversations. Just agreeing with something you think is being said in jest can get you convicted for conspiracy to commit domestic terrorism.

Soon the rank and file will also be misaligned, just like other rank and file

Bill Clinton was present annually at Naval Academy graduation ceremonies. Understanding that Senators played a major role in naming Academy students, he was the first to comprehend that Democrats should play a part in changing the ethos of the institution by the careful choosing of students from left wing families. More than twenty years later we see the results.

Are we (constitutionalists) still in the majority? Definitely we are not in the under 30 demographic. All they have to do to win is not lose for now. Just wait is out… though I’m not sure they have the skill to do that.

Yeah, I saw a post yesterday that fit the definition of “extremist” in Garland’s new version of Janet Napolitano’s Domestic Extremist Lexicon.

This admin is an extra strength redo of the obama admin.

Communist recruiting strategy always targets the misfits, disaffected and losers.

Do you know any well adjusted and successful people who claim (with pride) that they are Communists... or for that matter...even that they are Liberals?

Liberals I know personally, all have the most obvious sense of inadequacy and almost glaring character flaws.

They are always making an effort to appear normal and that they are the equivalent to well adjusted people. It’s like they do this unconsciously to mimic THEIR twisted sense of normalcy.

When they sense that you don’t buy their con, they get nasty

Agree. My posts here aren’t the softest. That said, I’ve never called for violence, etc. Or anything illegal, nor will I ever. I’ve received some very strange private messages over the last year or two here. 🖕🏻To the lurking feds.

Stay smart my friend. Don’t even post anything in jest that could possibly be interpreted as a call for violence.

There’s a crop of 20-somethings out there who are espousing the American way. My youngest cousin is 22 and is every bit a country boy you’d find. He despises the Rats and what they represent. Here in rural Florida, much of the youth is lazy but at least believe in American ideals. I think the media makes it seem like we’re in the minority, but I seriously doubt it. The problem is convincing the mush-brained morons, but then do we really want them on our side?

There were people who didn’t want this and complained. They were shown the door.

Once they were out, they were ignored by the MSM, and if they get no air time, nobody kn0ws they are out there.

Then the MSM can claim that there is no disagreement of the policies by former military.

And then people on FR scream about why no one (former military, Republican leaders, etc.) is fighting back against these policies.
