When did Omerta become the motto of the US military?
Omerta is the Italian word for code of silence, an oath that all members of the Mafia take.
Is the US military the Mafia? When did Tony Soprano become the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? When did Tony Soprano become the capo de capo of the US military?
For the last seven years while Obama’s Great Leap Backwards has been grinding up the US military with the speed of a Fargo wood chipper, the amount of comments and OPED’S and media appearances by military people denouncing the social engineering has been almost non-existent.
The military’s code of silence is dooming the military and the nation itself.
When did not speaking out become the hallmark of a good soldier, sailor, airman or Marine?
When did not following your conscience be the key to a successful career?
When did ignoring and looking the other way serve as the trademarks of heroes?
When did discretion become the better part of valor?
When did moral cowardice become the harbinger of future military defeats?
US military personnel have all sworn an oath to defend the Constitution and to obey lawful orders. While the military is subordinate to civilian authority, this subordination does not mean 13th Century serfdom subservience. Subordination to civilian authority does not give military personnel carte blanche to implement, follow and remain silent about policies that are destroying the military itself.
Military personnel have a higher duty than pure obedience to the commander in chief. They have a duty to the nation they serve. By remaining mute about doctrine and social changes they know are detrimental to the national defense, they become Obama’s willing executioners of the military.
Where are the OPED’S in newspapers by anonymous military personnel or military personnel using pen names, denouncing the myriad of obscene orders and authorizations coming from the White House and dribbling down to the Pentagon?
Here’s one example:
Not one single US Army officer or non-commissioned officer spoke out after male US Army ROTC cadets were ordered to parade around the nation’s college campuses in high heels to reportedly indicate their empathy for rape victims.
From all reports, the fear factor in the military is gigantic and something out of Pol Pot’s Cambodia. I’ve had active duty friends who are high ranking officers tell me that if I ever wrote a negative piece about the military and mentioned them, they would sue me. People are purged from active duty for the slightest comment or non PC whim. Anyone who is seen as not playing ball with the New Order is OUT, out.
The media has reported for years about the number of senior officers in the military who have been forced to resign because they were at odds with the cultural Marxists. A perfect example is US Air Force Major General Michael Keltz, a decorated combat pilot who’s crime was telling a junior officer at an Article 15 hearing that he was “Drunker than 10,000 Indians.” Obviously, this capital offense had to be dealt with swiftly and harshly in a style Himmler would praise. Keltz was ordered to report to his commander the next day, a three or four star lackey. Keltz was told to pack his bags and retire. His days of flying off into the wild blue yonder were gone.
How many actually agree with the social changes and the politically correct communism that has invaded the military like a virus? Maybe 25%, at the most and those are young, naïve troopers or the ardent feminists screaming “You go girl!” as they suffer another stress fracture on a ruck march.
Where are the rest of the personnel? They’re hunkering down and waiting for Valerie Jarrett’s angel of death to pass over them. They’re in a hasty defense, hoping to survive for whatever amount of years, months, days and a wake up they have left until they can escape from the nightmare called the US Armed Forces of 2016.
US Defense Watch is looking for comments and OPEDs from active duty personnel who are fed up with the current policies destroying the military. US Defense Watch would gladly interview personnel who are willing to be questioned concerning the Obama Administration’s incompetence and social engineering fiascos. Your name will never be disclosed to the public. You don’t even have to give US Defense Watch your name.
It’s time for patriots to come forth and tell the world about the rotten state of the US military under this current administration. It’s obvious that no senior leaders have the intestinal fortitude to tell the President, the Secretary of Defense and the American people the real situation.
In the post-Vietnam era, the US military was rebuilt from the bottom up. This time, it needs to be rebuilt from the top down.
The military’s silence may serve an immediate purpose, aka career survival, but in the end, those who are reticent are sowing the seeds of the nation’s destruction.
Veritas liberabit vos.
Politization of any govt body ultimately,rots it and kills it.
So much govt needs to be done away with.
It will fall to regular citizens to deal with it. Otherwise the sfate will destroy everyone eventually.
You can bet every one of our military brass has a skeleton in the closet that 0dunga uses his NSA to find out about then holds them hostage to his destructive agenda and they bess just STFU and watch in silence.
SCOTUS, Congress, our military, etc.. They are ALL being blackmailed to go along with the program or be VERY publicly destroyed. Notice how John Roberts wrote his opinion on why 0bamacare is unconstitutional but then did a quick about face on his final ruling.
BTW, I wonder how Senator Bob Menendez is doing these days? If King Zero can eat his own imagine what he can do to our military (his enemies)?
..and Joan Rivers won’t be bashing Moochelle again any time soon.
...and Antonin Scalia won’t be raining on the labor unions by putting an end to forced dues.
“In the post-Vietnam era, the US military was rebuilt from the bottom up. This time, it needs to be rebuilt from the top down.”
I’m not sure this part of the author’s argument is correct. Wasn’t it guys like Crieghton Abrams and a bunch of other generals that rebuilt the Army under Reagan?
The author doesn’t sound like a person who has ever served, although apparently he has. His premise seems a little immature and reactionary, like a complaining pain in the ass. Too bad he got out, huh? He could have stayed and made a difference. No?
There’s a still a million personnel in the military that need leadership. What good will it do them to self-destruct a few months from the election?
Began with Taillhook, never really let up, Obunga has just stepped on the gas to speed it all up. The military is a bastion of heterosexual men determined to stay that way, so he hates the idea of not "transforming" them.
I guess the next step in a gender-neutral military to actually have everyone neutered.
... is ...
The problem isn't just in the military, but all over. Men have been cowed by their own penis dictated servitude into silence.
Argue if you wish, but billions a year spent on prostitution with next to nothing in support of MRAs should show where men's priorities are.
The old adage is "No news is good news".... That is exactly what we get out of the "Media" during these sad times known as the obummer administration...
You don't get to know about the enemy's infiltration until it's to late to stop it...and then it's... "Well, I guess we'll just have to learn to live with it"...
The Politicians and the lying media really suck....

We are broke.
The military would have been a rusting hulk WITHOUT Obama....and it is worse with him.
It is no wonder that morale sucks.
