Everything wrong with the Biden military in one paragraph
American Thinker ^ | 19 May, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 05/19/2021 4:06:15 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The newly woke Pentagon continues its crusade against anyone who isn’t on board with leftist ideology.

Biden’s Pentagon is headed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a swamp creature and rabid leftist. As Austin made clear with his first act on the job, when he stood the military down for 60 days, his primary goal isn’t American’s defense. Instead, it’s to purge “extremism” from the military – although he never gets around to defining that term. To further this goal, Austin appointed Bishop Garrison, a Critical Race Theory fanatic, to conduct his purge. Under Garrison’s aegis, the plan is to use a third party to spy on troops, an action that clearly violates the Constitution.

To those who think of the Pentagon as a bastion of American values, please disabuse yourselves. It’s staffed with people who graduated from college within the last 30 years (they’re woke), those who survived the Obama purges (also woke), and political operatives who have marinated in D.C.’s fetid swamp for decades (super woke).

Even by those standards, though, a man named Bishop Garrison is a piece of leftist work: He’s a fervent supporter of Critical Race Theory, which is bad. What’s worse is his view of Trump and anyone who supported him, which means 75 million or more Americans. To him, they are (that is, we are) all racists:

In July 2019, Garrison tweeted of Trump: “He’s dragging a lot of bad actors (misogynist, extremists, other racists) out into the light, normalizing their actions. If you support the President, you support that. There is no more ‘but I’m not like that’ talk.”

I am sure Russia, China and especially Iran love this wokeism happening here and much of western civilization.

Defund the Pentagon. The current standing army is scary, stupid and dangerous. Get rid of it.

Let’s see - in the first 100 days Russia preserved its gains in Ukraine/Crimea if not gained strategic advantage over NATO, China continued to prove its power projection over Taiwan and will decide the reunification at the time of its choosing, and Iran inched closer to more pallets of money and controlling the Middle East directly or via proxies. But seriously the US armed forces can handle it LOL.

The military is now fully being run by Marxist/Borg, training and readiness for war is secondary to indoctrination and eliminating “white extremism “.

I would not recommend it to anyone.

I never thought I would write the statements above.

Pray for guidance.

The Democrats plan to do just that, defending and pretty much dismantling the military. The left hates it as an institution.

The entire ChiComJoe kakistocracy (including Austin) is one massive pile giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Defund the damn thing. DOD is now too dangerous to be well funded.

I know, right! When my oldest son was young and wanted to join the military, I could think positively about it (given that he was just a kid, I didn’t know if his desire would last :) ), but now that my youngest is thinking of it, I would have to tell him, don’t do it!

Can’t express how sad this makes me.
