That’s a great letter. Kudos to Ted Cruz. This didn’t start with Tucker Carlson. And it won’t end with him either. The disturbing trends that we’ve seen in the U.S. military have been developing over the last three decades. There’s been a leftward drift among the officer class, and it’s sadly unsurprising that we’re seeing military leadership drifting into policy disputes and planting itself firmly in “woke” camp.
It’s well past time to purge the communists from the US military.
The Founding Fathers were very wary of standing armies because they knew how they had been used by governments in the past. Elbridge Gerry even wanted a maximum size for the army to be incorporated in the Constitution (Washington squelched that pretty easily). Obviously we need an Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard, but to protect the country, not to tyrannize its citizens.
There was a recent case at the Naval Academy where a midshipman was being discharged about saying negative things about the BLM movement on social media. It came to light that a number of midshipman had said disparaging remarks about President Trump, the commander-in-chief. Not was done about the latter although it is a violation of the UMCJ.
