Leftist administrations see the military foremost as a tool for accelerating their own progressive domestic changes.

The U.S. military has now turned its wrath inward on Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The new secretary of defense relayed his “revulsion” for Carlson’s questioning the role of women in combat—a position that had been the military’s centuries-long orthodoxy until about seven years ago.

In ChiComJoe’s kakistocracy, the enemy of the DeepState military leaders is the American people.

My opinion is not Canada will not invade us. Mexico will not invade us any more than they already are. And China will not invade us.

I think we should be isolationists, push for autarky, and just promote a nationalist agenda. Who cares what happens in the Middle East or in Asia? Keep the subs, bombers and missiles. That’s about as much “Defense” as we really need.

Our enemies are not so much foreign as they are domestic.

The Military’s (DOD) enemy are as you list. More encompassing would be to refer them to the Deep State.

The SOD Austin is a non-player, with no real power over the DOD. He may speak, but for the DOD, it goes in one ear and out the other. If it goes in at all.

Our once proud, strong military is rapidly becoming a joke...The rank and file are probably embarrassed and the elite in the Pentagon are harrumphing themselves as egoistic perfumed princes...

Unless this is stopped, we are in deep doodoo....

Our military’s (military-industrial complex’s) enemy is true conservatives.

Conservatives that do not support unnecessary military spending, adventurism or a queered military.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

Austin has about as much control over the military as I do. Dan Scavino tweeted that a bunch of klowns have hijacked the military twitter account. Its psy ops folks.

The Founders eschewed the idea of a standing army, and if we’re not at war with anyone, our military should be severely curtailed. Our Founders put the Second Amendment into our BoR as a way to ensure our people were prepared to be called up to fight. A standing army, esp. in the hands of the kleptocracy in power now, is just a tool of suppression.

Add the Swamp / Deep State (career bureaucrats) to that list.

“The Pentagon might instead seek to reassure the public that no physical standards for combat troops have been lowered to accommodate front-line soldiers of any sex.”

They can’t.

They are undermining themselves. Lashing out at critics won’t help them. They are their own worst enemy.

The Colonel is spot on with this one. BUT he failed to stress one element of this incipient DISASTER: IT HAS BEEN ORCHESTRATED BY THE ONE-WORLD, GLOBAL ELITES AND IMPLEMENTED BY THEIR WELL PAID LACKEYS LIKE CLINTON, OBOZO AND NOW BIDEN, ALL OF WHOSE “ELECTIONS” WERE ALMOST CERTAINLY STOLEN ALA 2020!
“AMERICA” MUST GO DOWN!!
