Tucker Carlson on the continued degradation of our military
American Thinker ^ | 18 Jun, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 06/18/2021 5:19:09 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The program that began under Obama – to turn our video into a social justice experiment – is now going into the full Marxist phase

Conservatives believe that the American military exists to defend the nation and that this works best with tight unit cohesion based on shared experiences and alliances. Obama believed that the military was a social justice experiment that required welcoming open homosexuality and transgender troops. Trump was able to slow this trend, but he didn’t realize how deep the rot was in the Pentagon. The moment he was out of office, Biden appointed Lloyd Austin as Pentagon chief and the Obama social justice experiment morphed into full-blown racial Marxism. I could write volumes on this, but I’ll content myself with a short intro and then turn the floor over to Tucker Carlson.

Obama did away with “don’t ask, don’t tell” in favor of having gays and lesbians serve openly. I have no idea whether that’s worked to the military’s benefit because there will never be an honest assessment. He also admitted transgender people, despite their profound emotional problems, and said the military would pay for their mutilating surgeries and hormones, used to achieve a poor imitation of being the opposite sex.

The most problematic thing Obama did was to purge traditional military officers from the Pentagon. I wrote about that at length here, before I came on board at American Thinker, so I won’t belabor the point. Suffice to say that, if you held the conservative view of the military (a colorblind institution dedicated to America’s defense), you were liking to be cashiered from your position in the Pentagon.

Through it all, and running into the Trump years, there was the constant, damaging pressure to put women in the front line.

We will soon have a military that despises the Constitution and opposes the groups that the government disfavors.

We will soon have a military that resembles the SS, not the Wehrmacht

“SOON,” is the key word here. It might be sooner than any of us think, unfortunately.

The rest:
I deeply oppose this. In small numbers, women have been frontline fighters throughout history, and have acquitted themselves bravely, but that’s always been because the home front and the frontline were one and the same. When serious armies facing serious challenges have experimented with women in battle, it’s been a disaster – and that doesn’t even count lowering standards to accommodate the fact that women are physically weaker than men.

With Biden in the White House, though, Obama’s efforts to alter the military to more closely resemble the average American college campus seem almost quaint. Under Lloyd Austin, the military has wholeheartedly embraced Critical Race Theory, which is simply Marxism in racial garb. This should terrify you because it’s intended to render the military dysfunctional. A dysfunctional military in a dangerous world is the stuff of nightmares.

And now I’ll stop writing and, instead, let you see Tucker Carlson’s excellent summary, including his highlighting how appalling Ibrahim X. Kendi’s book is – and it’s recommended reading in the Navy — and how stupid Kendi himself is. Even worse than that, though, is seeing what passes for a high-ranking military officer in Biden’s military. We must hope for the sake of the men and women (and transgender its) serving under Admiral Michael Gilday that he is not quite the racist fool he appears to be.

Both America and her military have shown tremendous resiliency over the centuries. It’s to be hoped that both still have reserves enough to handle what the Biden White House is sending their way.

That is their plan....

Just like there is a plan to all of this defund the police nonsensr. The plan is so that honest, good people wont want to be police. The marxists will then take over the police forces.
There has never been a society that did not have some type of law enforcement apparatus.

Once the military is purged of all the good people....well then.......

Wishful thinking. Dirtbags like Mattis and Kelly got their stars long before the jug eared kenyan appeared on the scene.

I fear you're right. I used to like to think only about 20% of the military are lefties, but after so many years of Obama and the deep state, I think we'd be lucky for it to be 50/50.

It’s time to resume conscription.

Conscripts cannot handle modern weapons - their training would take more years than their enlistment - most would have be taught to read and do simple math, followed by the sciences and other disciplines needed for their prospective MOS. Forget learning foreign languages - most barely know their own.

Our own Marxist traitor JCS will pretty soon just order our troops to wear baby-blue UN helmets and berets.

Listen to the first few minutes of my Infowars gig yesterday.

Starting with the CIC and the SecDef, the U.S. military leaders are totally LGBTQ+Pedo woketards. Billions of tax dollars will soon be spent on redesigning jets and tanks to be operated by transvestites in high heels.

” the moment that 0bama was elected is when the US started circling the drain.”

I submit that it started with the establishment of the 17th Amendment.

“The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected by the people thereof ...

(no longer elected by the state legislatures)

Only one member of the Constitutional Convention was in favor of popular election of Senators.

All because we allowed both parties to violate the Constitution.

Obama is precisely what the founders were trying to prevent with the natural born citizen clause.

Our enemies are laughing themselves to death. Their enemies [us] have their heads in the sand and are pretending nothing out of the ordinary happened on January 20, 2021. Their other enemies [Patriots and lovers of the Constitution along with America] are confined in glorified dog kennels 23 out of 24 hours each day in Washington, D. C. jail[s]. Placed in there by America's own Gestapo. To Wit}The FBI. Terrorists and murderers extraordinary. And being held incommunicado in reality if not in fact.

And the sheep? As one they bleat, Thank Goodness it wasn't me.

AS for the Political Prisoners. Did anyone tell that under penalty of death, they were not supposed to be where they were? Probably not. I read statements that the Capital Police even opened the doors and invited them inside. I believe those statements. But in the end, if a politician or Police Officer invites you anywhere, even to heaven though I do not think a Police Officer or Politician would invite one there. Perhaps the other place. If one knows what is good for one, one will stay the hell away from that place. There are people in the Washington, D.C. dog kennels, A/K/A, Jail that are learning that lesson the hard way. I deliberately omitted from referring to the Washington, D. C. jail as a dog pound because the dog pound is more sanitary of the two.

Proof Obama’s education was greater than his intelligence.
