Those in charge of the U.S. military are on a mission to destroy what is left of a once unmatched war-fighting capability.
As reported by TheBlaze, it is apparent that those in charge of the U.S. military are on a mission to destroy what is left of a once unmatched war-fighting capability that was earned by blood and sweat. As a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), I may be qualified to analyze recent events that had the commandant of midshipmen publish the "Diversity Education Program" as an USNA standing order on how to "foster a culture of inclusion across the Yard."
It is inconceivable that instead of promoting unity, strength, and courage among other noble attributes of military leaders, the U.S. Navy and specifically USNA are advancing that midshipmen are to be assigned as agents of this diversity nonsense and that these young, impressionable students
• serve as a walking safe space for peers and
• facilitate discussion among company-mates to ease the tensions surrounding diversity topics.
These are actual bullet points from material used to train midshipmen in executing this destructive diversity directive on the Yard. What is a "walking safe space"? Can a person be a "space"? If I were a midshipman, I would run from such an assignment, with demerits accrued if necessary.
There is so much wrong with having midshipmen, future naval leaders, indoctrinated with woke inclusion and diversity. Where to begin? These evil initiatives only serve to weaken and demolish the proven war-fighting principles upon which sound military strength is built and executed. Many of these leadership attributes come alive under enemy fire, as witnessed during, for example, World War II and the battles that ensued in Europe and the Pacific.

Being Woke is an avenue for Milley to destroy the Military Leadership of America. The entire spectrum of America has been infected with Socialists Ideals. Unless the Nov. elections stop this political movement, it is over for American Freedom.
“If that is the case across the board we have lost without even firing a shot”
Nope. Those snowflakes have no fight in them. Glass jaws. Mental midgets that are easily defeated.
Painful to watch, but the first four or five minutes of this tell it like it is.

Only if the right is willing to fight and I don’t think our side is actually willing to get down and dirty and fight. We are expected to “turn the other cheek” or “not stoop to their level”. I fear we have already lost this war against the left.
It’s no wonder military enlistment and recruitment is cratering.
Who would wish to serve this “Commander in Chief” especially after Thursday evening’s speech.
Military family here - we are imploring the next generation NOT to join. Nephew and great-Nephew just passed signing up after taking the ASVAB. Great-nephew said he had to change his phone number b/c the recruiters kept calling and calling and calling...
Good idea. Do it now
Add self esteem to the list.
And only one race is condemned for doing it.
I stopped wearing my USNA ring some time ago. I would consider returning it, but I suppose they would just melt it down and reuse it in the “Link in the Chain” program. USNA rings have a small amount of gold from previous graduate rings.
Three of my children went to service academies. I never consciously encouraged them. Today, I would overtly discourage them.
I can remember these “ebony and ivory” classes starting in the Army back in the early 70s. I was totally disgusted with that crap way back in those days. Two NCO bozo instructors. A black guy and a white guy whose granny was a “cherokee princess” named Morning Star. The had these profound lessons like showing you a three legged table and taught such stupidity like when asked what was wrong with the table, the “white kids” would say it had only three legs. The “black kids” would say there was no food on it. They had food stamps back in those days but I guess parents were using them to buy drugs and it was our fault there was no food on the three legged tables.
Yep. Add to diversity inclusion and equity.
Husband is a grad of USNA Class of ‘73. He won’t talk about it, but you sure knows he is not proud of Navy any more. I think it started with admitting women. I know I didn’t think it would work. Glad he took his commission as a Marine.
Reverse psychology doesn’t work on me. If you have given up then that is your personal failure. About 104 million people voted for Trump in 2020. I highly doubt they’re all quitters.
This has been going on for a long time. Some of you may remember the office “Social Actions”-that’s what the AF called it. It then morphed into a monster of it’s own doing. Now, the DOD has an institute for this crap. It’s called DEOMI (Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute). That’s right, a whole institute where all branches send folks to get more woke. It’s been around for years. The institute is currently at Patrick AFB, FL. We used to get a live feed on the CCTV on base at Patrick. One day we tuned in to see what goes on inside the hallowed walls of wokeness. To this day, I will never forget the inability for the speakers to put two sentences together without a “um” or “Ya know” or “like”. In the years (20) that I spent there, I recall only seeing a handful of white attendees. I can’t imagine what attends now.
What a complete mess.
The Biden regime is working on purging maga. They started by purging maga military. They are just about done with transforming the military in their woke vision.
I did that myself. The problem is that the further you progress in rank, the more locked-in you become to the military as a career. That's acceptable when the culture and direction was something with which you agree. But once it shifts into something else, you as a leader are going to be forced not only to accept those policies in silence, but also to parrot and enforce them with respect to your subordinates. And if you speak out or oppose them, you are a disobeying orders.
So right now, a military career as an officer involves either swallowing, parroting, and publicly embracing those ideas, or sacrificing your family's security and getting the boot. Rather than putting yourself into that Hobson's choice, the most rational choice is to avoid military service altogether.
If a kid is good enough to get into an Academy, they'll have plenty of other great career options where disagreement won't mean getting charged under the UCMJ.
Was amazing to read the stories of those in the class who died in WW2. One of the midshipman would be captured after the battle of Sunday Straits. He died of wounds while a POW. His 1939 class ring was found on a Japanese soldier on Guadalcanal. It was later returned to the USNA.
Sunda Straits.. I hate auto correct.
