The Chief of the U.S. Army Center of Military has adopted the Leftist "woke" "1619 Project" and Howard Zinn as its new guidance in writing the official history of the U.S. Army.

The future state of the official history of the US Army as it will now be written by historians belonging to the U.S. Army Center of Military History.

Mr. Bowery is responsible for the overall supervision and direction of historical matters throughout the Department of the Army, which includes management of fifty-seven Army museums and more than thirty historical centers, and overall supervision of the Army’s operational and deployed military historians and military history detachments. As the Chief of Military History, Mr. Bowery plans, formulates, and executes the Army Historical Program, and supervises the production of Army historical works and studies that support the Army’s development of plans, policies, doctrine, force structure, and equipment. The CMH advises the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army and other Army Senior Leaders on historical background relevant to events and projected actions affecting the Army.

This man should be fired at President Trump's earliest convenience.

With his view of military history as evidenced above he is likely to do great damage to the US Armed Service if he continues in his position.

“. . . chose to fight against this country in the service of a new country that promised to preserve chattel slavery.”

The Congress of the “old” country promised to preserve chattel slavery too.

In fact, the U.S. Constitution was pro-slavery and President Lincoln - twice - took an oath to preserve and defend the pro-slavery Constitution.

How long before this chief leads the effort to destroy the Lincoln and Washington monuments?

“We have ended exclusions of LGBTQ citizens from serving openly . . .”

This tells you everything you need to know about this person’s perspective. Not good, that I can tell you.

Why, MAJOR Bowery thought quite highly of Robert E. Lee.

Looks like someone talked to him.

If slavery was our original sin then it couldn’t be racist. The first slaves were poor white adults and kids abducted from the streets of England (not even counting the indentured servants).

Just looking at the overview of his service record and reading his ribbon bar, Mr. Bowery appears to have had a nice, safe noncombat army career.

And maybe living under the radar during the "don't ask, don't tell" period.

This guy is in direct violation of the President’s recent Executive Order. Someone should forward this screed to the Administration.

He died of a fentanyl overdose, crackhead. Stop spreading lies.

The Army is shaped by the party in power during its time in power. This is especially true in the higher ranks that require nomination and congressional approval. Ultimately, though, as President Lincoln found, the object of an Army is to win wars. It took a long, bloody search before Lincoln could identify Grant as a warrior who wins. We had the same issue in WWII with Patton and Eisenhower. After a while, winning was the ultimate issue for an Army.

Political appointments and promotions aren’t necessarily good fighters. Pretending every soldier has the same physical or mental ability does not make it so, and thus it injures the warfighting capability of a unit.

The purpose of our military is to win wars. Period.
