Eight years of Obama and eighteen months of Biden have turned the U.S. Military into the equivalent of a college campus—and that’s a dangerous thing.
College campuses have become remarkably dystopian in the past 20 years. Once they sought to end racism; now they aggressively pursue anti-White racism. Once they sought to bring women into parity with men; now they seek to replace women with men. Once they cherished their niche as places of unique intellectual freedom; now they demand complete intellectual conformity. And once, believe it or not, they used to teach that America was a shining light among nations, while now they routinely denigrate America, deriding its institutions and inherent value. That's bad. What's worse is that the Obama and Biden administrations have inculcated college values into America's military.
Thomas Spoehr, a retired lieutenant general who served 36 years in the United States Army, is now the director of the Center for National Defense at the Heritage Foundation. In that capacity, he gave a speech at Hillsdale College's Washington, D.C. campus about the rise of the leftist "woke" mentality in the American military. Hillsdale has published an adaptation of Spoehr's talk in Imprimis. I found the speech fascinating and wanted to share it with you because it is such a lucid analysis of the way hard-left concepts about race, sex, intellectual freedom, and America itself have been hardwired into the military since 2008.
Spoehr opens his speech with two basic premises: (1) wokeness is now interwoven in the military and cannot easily be removed, even if a conservative administration makes the effort, and (2) "woke ideology undermines military readiness in various ways." That second point should worry everyone who believes that our nation can best avoid conflicts if predatory nations view America

Will the military add the position of “Political Correctness Officer”?
Its complete and total and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
More than we realize? Uh no.
They already have: throughout the government, new positions of “Chief Diversity Officer” have been created.......
EVERYWHERE.
At this point the military is no different than the teachers unions; why not? They all work for the government, and will do as ordered - OR QUIT.
Woke just like FBI, DEA, IRS, ATF etc.
it’s just another branch of federal tyranny to be used against those that oppose government tyranny
The removal of moral and ethical standards in our military will end Possi Comitatus.
We’re !@#$%&.
“Will the military add the position of “Political Correctness Officer”?”
I do not know if they will add a “Political Correctness Officer” or like the The Third Reich and the USSR simply add a
“Political Officer” to each unit. Maybe even units as small as a squad.
The “Political Officer” is exactly the type of position I was referring to. I just changed it a bit to fit the woke mindset.
Ezekiel 37
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
The Long March through the institutions continues.
I think that the military is calling them “Diversity and Inclusion” officers.
The private sector is little better. Major corporations all promote "Diversity, Inclusion & Equity." And their websites are draped in rainbow, tranny, and BLM flags.
Like the corporate world wokeness wil destroy the military. Can you imagine the kind of volunteers they will be recruiting. No, wokeness has destroyed military and with it our Country. Like police officers, military Patriots reach the sobering realization that when leadership not only fails to cover their backs but actively seeks them out for persecution, it’s time to throw in the towel.
What do you mean “Add”? They already have them. They are called diversity officers and the one I saw skulking about the squadron offices was an fat, black, female sergeant. She stuck out like a sore thumb and everyone avoided her. It would have been comical if it were not so menacing and at once pitiful.
Which is why no one wants to join anymore.

Red states need to create their own state level, patriotic, non woke militias. If for nothing else than to protect state citizens from the tyrannical woke US military, which very well could be turned against us someday soon.
States need to stop accepting federal dollars for anything, and take the hard road of becoming totally independent of the corrupt federal government. Then begin outlawing federal agencies from any jurisdiction in the state
