By the time Barack Obama left office, every branch of the military was smaller than it had been on September 11. But the change in size concealed the true impact of America’s most left-wing president in undermining our national security and weakening us in the face of our enemies.
"I've got a pen, and I've got a phone,” Obama famously boasted. He used the pen to unleash a blizzard of executive orders and memorandums. Some led to outraged protests, but some of his most devastating penned assaults on our nation’s military flew under the radar.
One of those took place during the end of his last year in office. His memorandum, “Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the National Security Workforce”, created the woke military of the Biden administration by putting identity politics, diversity quotas, and political indoctrination at the heart of the military’s mission.
Obama had always resented the military. Even former General McChrystal, an Obama loyalist fired for describing his boss a little too aptly in the presence of a Rolling Stone reporter, described him as “uncomfortable and intimidated” by generals. But Obama’s parting shot at the military cut the generals down to size by transforming them into community organizers.
His order redefined diversity as the military’s “greatest asset” and reinvented national security as a system for maximizing employment diversity by race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and every identity politics metric, but not the military metrics that truly mattered, readiness, competence, and a willingness to wage war in defense of the homeland.
Along with transforming the military into another quota-based federal employment agency in which skills and capability mattered much less than being a disabled transgender Eskimo, the order also demanded that national security agencies should make "implicit or unconscious bias" training mandatory for "senior leadership and management positions". Divisions that didn't earn sufficiently high IQ (Inclusion Quotient) scores would also be hit with bias training.
Implicit bias training is a form of political indoctrination which asserts that all white people are racist. Its sessions force participants into accepting its radical racial worldview or be treated as obstacles to the new organizational mission. Implicit bias training has succeeded in forcing out talented executives from corporations and officers from the military, replacing them with political activists and bootlickers cowardly enough to repeat Marxist dogma for the sake of their careers.
Obama’s memorandum led to the expansion of implicit bias within the military such as Army Secretary Eric Fanning’s infamous Directive 2017-06 ordering mandatory implicit bias training for “soldiers and employees in senior leadership and management positions” that was protested by chaplains for infringing on religious freedom. While the Trump administration later ordered a ban on such abusive training in the military, by then Obama’s order had long since been circulating in its cultural and organizational bloodstream, and was quickly restarted by Biden.
Biden’s first executive orders not only rescinded the ban, but doubled down on making the military more woke, more racist towards white Americans, and more incapable than ever. The new equity push went even further by attributing any failure to meet racial, gender, and other identity politics quotas to the grand hoax of “systemic racism” –a practice outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Meeting these quotas became the foremost task of senior leadership.
China might beat us in the hypersonic weapons race, but America’s top military brass would pull out all the stops to make sure that they had the most diverse arrangement of people, preferably in senior leadership positions, to establish their progressive credentials.
The ‘wokening’ of the military was not a bottom-up, but a top-down phenomenon, imposed at every step from branch leaders to academy superintendents, after originating from the White House. Obama’s “Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the National Security Workforce” was one of the final building blocks for his key administration goal of bringing the most conservative arm of the federal government into compliance with the political agendas of the radical Left.
Obama's former NASA administrator, Charles Bolden, had caused a stir when he frankly told Al Jazeera that his boss had given him three top priorities, none of which involved space, but one of which was Muslim self-esteem. No military leader had come out with an equally honest assessment, but Obama’s priorities for the military was looting its physical resources for environmental gimmicks like the Navy’s disastrous biofuels programs, and its human resources for a massive community organizing and Marxist indoctrination effort under the flag of diversity.
And he told the military in war..
Don’t shoot first.

That was actually it was ‘don’t shot until you or your men are shot’ policy not in full effect until lawyers give OK to shoot back.
Obama a true Marxist bigot if there ever was one.
That’s what he thought of our military
If his daughter was in line of fire.. would the same order be in effect
Remember that traitorbozo judges kept Trump from ending many of them.
Those traitobozo judges should be impeached, convicted, and disbarred for that. Then they should be encouraged to leave the country.
Didn’t he also decree if a terrorist shoots at you, misses you and drops his gun, you can’t shoot him?
“ The next Republican president needs to revoke every one of Traitorobozo’s executive orders.”
The next Republican president needs to rip the the entire federal bureaucracy, every single employee, out by the roots and destroy it utterly and completely.
Anything less, and the land is lost to totalitarian socialism.
Sounds like him.
When I first heard him on the subject, I thought lordy he knows NOTHING about war.. and do the service men have to do this?.. they’d be sitting ducks.
The guy had a soft life and no one ever told him NO...and congress personnel were afraid to cross this angry black man who was out of his abilities.
On the subject.. the dems were unhindered in getting this Muslim elected..with questionable citizenship.
The dems stole an election and put a senile old man who rambles and not sure where he is..
In the office of power.
And the repubs let both go on and on..joining in.
Let Trump try that..
p
putting identity politics, diversity quotas, and political indoctrination at the heart of the military’s mission. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The military operates on the shoulders of its NCOs. The nastiest effect was that queers and transgenders were promoted to NCO ranks over ordinary soldiers who were not “woke.”
MNow we have the advent of Sgt. Cornholio and Corporal Licky Tunguester. They sustain Obama’s foolishness. They allow military payment of sex change surgery. among other travesties.
If they post these types of NCOs into theaters of battle and into the far desolate North, and substitute them with ordinary fighting soldiers and sailors, then we would get over this. But now?
I would not advize ANY young person to enlist in this folly.
Who wants to be ordered around in war by Sgt. Cornholio, who has an ideological woke agenda in the way its fought?? “Not I,” said the lttle red hen.
When enlistment drops way down, what you will see is a returmn of the draft. And that in some ways s a good thing but in the other is also a bad thing. We will then have a massive ndictrination of cannon fodder for the left.
We have a last chance. The mid terms next November and a Conservative Republican, minus RINOs, sweep of Congress and the Presidency in 2024.
If we do not win those days, then we will for the first time in US history, be forced to fight the enemies of Freedom on American soil.
Inserting commies into the ranks?
It would be funny if it wasn't destroying our ability to protect ourselves.
We need term limits for certain high-level civil service jobs.
Less so in the military - except at the highest levels because a military is necessary.
Other agencies, especially non-military intelligence, have the potential to commit mischief on the American people and should be rotated to limit corruption.
Look at all the criminal politicians still free while good people are abused.
J6 and the Russia Hoax are just two examples.
