Harris/Biden military officials have denied their addiction to DEI, CRT and wokeness in general has had anything to do with the alarming decline in enlistments. Only the Marine Corps has been largely immune to a dearth of enlistees. It seems they’ve done their best to avoid the worst aspects of woke lunacy, or perhaps their historic focus on destroying American’s enemies has helped convince prospective Marines they might have to put up with some woke nonsense, but it won’t keep them from being Marines.
Our service academies, as one would expect of educational institutions, have apparently gone gladly woke, the Air Force Academy in particular:
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 478 pages of records from the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), a component of the United States Department of Defense, which includes instructional materials and emails that address topics such as Critical Race Theory, “white privilege,” and Black Lives Matter.
The Academy’s descent into woke insanity is fully as bad as one might expect:
The presentation includes a set of tables with the headline “White Americans’ Support for Democratic Candidates for President as a Function of Old-Fashioned Racism.” Another slide depicts tables which purport to show “Correlations between Republican Party Identification and Old-Fashioned Racism among White Americans.”
That theme persists:
A “CRT Talking Points” document prepared at the direction of the Air Force Academy Superintendent includes the question “Does CRT teach cadets to hate our country?” The scripted “academic answer” to the question asserts, “much of what is ‘divisive’ [about CRT] is that it’s hard for people to hear the words ‘white supremacy’ without feeling defensive, even though that is the academically correct way to talk about most of American history.”

Does the left think we are going to “out crazy” our enemies?
The USAF Academy has cadet “political officers” who look for unwokeness. Not kidding. They wear special identification so that cadets can report “violations”.
However, when I have talked to small groups in private, they regard this with as much respect as one would regard a dog turd on the sidewalk. And, true to woke tradition, they’ve added some marshmallow subjects and majors to make sure that the woke graduate believing that they actually have a creditable degree.
Start with ANYONE who put Tampax dispensers in men's bathrooms.

Immediately transfer all of them to Diego Garcia.

Why anyone would join the woke military is beyond me. EVERYTHING that the woke virus touches turn=s to absolute BS.
So USAFA adopted communist-era political commissars in the command chain?
Too much pushing specific political greivences. There are three main problems with military recruitment.
1> Due to declining birth rates there are fewer potential enlistees to recruit.
2> While not a line pushed by the US military “Join and become a man” has been an age old recruiting trope. A lot of young men look at much of what get published and goes “That’s a man?”
3> The short fall is mostly in straight white men, and DEI, CRT etc. is part and parcel of telling this contingent, you are not welcome here. Many of them go somewhere they are more welcome.
My neighbor told me last night his son is getting out of the Navy after 8 years because he cannot take the DIE anymore. My neighbor also told me he works for a black DIE female. He has to do his work and hers. He works in maintenance at a MAJOR power generation facility. He said if she actually tried to run the department we probably wouldn’t have any power. I truly believe this DIE business is absolutely killing our country.
Will the mission and objective of an indoctrinated military be national defense?
Can an indoctrinated military be expected to attack the USA and the American People if ordered to do so?
I have gotten by for 70 years without many women or morons telling me what to do, none in the military, I can’t even imagine how bad this is today. Don’t see how women and gay guys are much help in a bar fight, or grinning when you crawl up a gangway onto the quarterdeck at 08:10 in the morning right after colors.
After the video game is over!
You are correct, and the effect is quite intentional.
“”””Due to declining birth rates there are fewer potential enlistees to recruit.””””
We have never had this many available for so few military slots, compare this more than 340 million population and tiny military to what was a half century of tiny to small population and a vastly larger military.
