I imagine our woke military leadership thought they would benefit from the prior default support American normals had for "the military" when jumping into politics against @TuckerCarlson. Except they failed to note how normals had been burned by other institutions previously. 1/

This is not 30, 20, 10 or even five years ago. Over the last two decades, normal Americans have found themselves attacked by every institution they had expected to protect them - academia, the media, the NFL... 2/

Even law enforcement betrayed them, in the form of kneeling cops & the FBI/DOJ cabal that tried to take down the man they elected President. So normals were not naive and vulnerable - they were prepared to be betrayed when the woke .mil leadership abandoned its principles. 3/

The woke military leadership, in line with its 20 year history of failing to win wars, failed here to understand the cultural battlespace for its lame info op against a conservative icon. It thought it could exploit our support for its political masters' ends. It was wrong. 4/

If our military can't understand its own culture well enough to succeed, how can anyone expect it to understand China well enough to beat it? It doesn't. Woke .mil knows that. That's why it wants to stifle such discussions. But it's too inept to do it effectively. 5/

Time to view the military as liberal-occupied territory. Time to abandon default support for its woke leades. Time for GOP pols to demand a return to standards, like tactical/strategic competence and strict non-politization. Con media, hi-lite abuses! 6/

This way, we can set the stage for reform under a new President. We can also make sure liberalism is properly assigned blame for the inevitable consequences of woke .mil leadership. There will be a major defeat under Biden. America must understand why to repair the damage. 7/

None of this makes me happy to say. Hesitating to recommend young Americans join this damaged institution - something many vets tell me they are experiencing too - is something I once could not imagine. But fixing this demands tough love, high standards, and hard calls. 8/

We owe it to our troops & our country to demand nothing less than a military that is focused solely on deterring and winning wars, that is totally outside of politics, and that is dedicated not to one party or some alien faculty lounge ideology, but to the Constitution. Out. 9/

"Time to view the military as liberal-occupied territory."

That liberal-occupied territory better realize that no matter how "woke" they are, the Democrats will do anything they can to disenfranchise every military absentee ballot they can, in every election.

I’m a vet, patriotic as hell, diehard Trump supporter. And I tell all the kids who ask about my service to not sign up today.

Don’t. Do. It.

Unless you want to be forcefed the same PC BS you just got in High School. I tell them to look up the navy guys surrendering to the Iranians under Obama. That they will have the same thing, but much more of it.

Where you can ask for a “Time Out” in basic, and immediately get it. Stuff like that.

Don’t. Do. It.

The active military should not be jumping into politics. It's their CIC/politican president that should be doing that.

The military is NOT supposed to be involved with politics.

"By Sunday, people were beginning to realize that the commanding officer in charge of the social media accounts should have stepped in and disciplined these people - just as that long-ago general was severely disciplined for insulting the civilian commander in chief of the United States military. Mollie Hemingway, however, stated what others had already figured out: The commanding officer is on board with turning a media figure - a conservative media figure - into the military's number one enemy:
Someone suggested alerting commanding officer Brian Russell to the embarrassing attacks from the @iimigofficial on US journalists who critique identity politics. You will perhaps not be surprised to learn he's all in on the attacks, too.
-- Mollie (@MZHemingway) March 14, 2021

Americans need to understand that this is not their dads' military. It's not even the pre-2008 military. Barack Obama purged from the Pentagon anyone who was not with the new Democrat party. This Pentagon trend worsened under Trump, as people in the modern military resented the fact that he was not starting new wars and was drawing down troops. Trump's peaceful ways may have saved lives and money, but they lessened opportunities for advancement within the military and shut down post-retirement sinecures in the defense industry.

With Biden's ascension to the White House, the military has become an openly partisan, pro-Democrat, possibly anti-American institution dedicated entirely to turning itself into a social justice avatar for American society well maintaining endless small wars across the globe for the benefit of military officers."

This is the woke military that will have absolutely no problem whatsoever firing on armed or unarmed US citizens if given the opportunity. This is the woke military that would have absolutely no problem whatsoever going house to house ransacking each one in turn looking for guns (and loot).

This woke military even thinks about turning the weapons inward, the pushback insurgency will be overwhelming. American resistance will make the Taliban and Al-Qaeda seem like JV.

I disagree that a draft is a good thing. Conscription began during the Civil War because the death toll was so high the armies couldn’t persuade citizens to sacrifice themselves in such lage numbers for a war that many didn’t support. The freedom to enlist to fight a legitimate war or not enlist to avoid an illegitimate war was a fundamental liberty that was lost during Lincoln’s War, along with freedom of speech and writs of habeus corpus, et. al. Subsequently we began to see the growth of leviathan government and the deconstruction of the Constitution from that point on. We see now how the loss of our liberty is like a snowball rolling downhill. There is no reason at all to advocate forcing anyone to be enslaved by the totally illegitimate, tyrannical junta in DC today. GOPee Delenda Est!

You don’t understand. When they patriots stop volunteering then they will have to draft. This will turn the general public sheeple against the military. Gays and weirdos don’t want to be drafted...

absolutely; just think of the massive blowback from the people when their businesses were shut down and they were forced to wear filthy diapers on their faces...

It’s the LEADERSHIP that love Washington DC that ruins the military.

Ditto here. I served 28 years in the military, and under no uncertain terms, I urge all young people in my family and circle of friends to avoid the military.
