Military’s top brass once embodied self-sacrifice and patriotism, but now they’re just virtue-signaling bureaucrats.
In September, the United States Air Force Academy class of 1972 met for its 50th year reunion. Compared to our experience, the Academy of today is virtually unrecognizable.
America’s foundational institutions are under assault. For decades the siege progressed incrementally, imperceptible to most observers. But recently the pace has accelerated, avoiding all pretense of subtlety. In the case of USAFA, activist generals serve as a vivid example of how a few influential individuals are able to implement President Obama’s call to fundamentally change American society.
Nowadays, when visiting USAFA, one is impressed by the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Gone are the days when cadets lived under unremitting pressure, stood at rigid attention, and bore the brunt of verbal abuse from upper class cadets. Uniforms are still worn, but in reality, cadet life is drifting away from that of a traditional military academy and towards a liberal arts environment.
According to U.S. News’ Best College Rankings, the Academy’s national ranking in the National Liberal Arts Colleges category increased from #39 to #18 from 2020 to 2022. USAFA ranks #1 in aeronautical and astronautical engineering, but this distinction only applies to schools that do not offer doctorate degrees. Currently, the civilian faculty, including visiting members, comprises 42% of the academic department.
Since 2013, when Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michael Gould introduced a comprehensive Diversity and Inclusion Program (D&I) in accordance with President Obama’s Executive Order 13583, USAFA drifted away from its historic policy of avoiding political engagement. The enactment of the program served as a harbinger of the Academy’s descent into divisive issues, when the plan declared D&I a “military necessity” and “as important as academics.”

“We will be paying for it until a True Leader is elected”
Trump IS the true leader we elected — twice!
we will pay for this in much blood until either G-d intervenes or the US ceases to exist.
When the US crumbles, expect much of the civilized world to crumble down with it. There are hundreds and millions of people whose livelihood is dependent on the existing world economy. Yes, even the low end workers in Africa and Asia are ultimately part of that economic chain i.e. the poorly paid miners of Himalayan pink salt, only have their commercial livlihood because their are hundreds of thousands of consumers in 1st world countries that have industrialized it.
General officers are nominated by the POTUS. So, it’s easy to see how left-wingers get put at the top.
From what I hear Texas A&M these days is closer to the traditional service academies than the actual military academies. The sad thing is there still are a lot of talented and patriotic boys who would love to go to an academy. The military doesn’t want them, though, because they are the wrong color or sex.
We are surrounded!
Next GOP president needs to clean house starting with Milley. Then, get rid of the Woke officers in mass.
Shut it down.
The surprising thing for me is the speed to which this occurred....basically in a 3-year period. None of this can be easily undone.
I think today...I could be easily 40 pounds over my max and wearing 50-percent male clothing and 50-percent female clothing....as long as I pretended to be a pronoun ‘queen’.
Woke Generals.
Communists believe in strong discipline in the cadres. Their fighting forces are tough, e.g. Viet Cong and the PLA.
True. Communists believe in strong discipline in THEIR cadres. But not in their enemy's troops.
They are still in the process of destroying us. Once our troops are their troops, they will instill discipline.
I have noticed that many of the females who were in the military were in the AIR FORCE.
It’s almost as though it were PLANNED.
The Air Force is totally feminized.
It’s unfortunate...it should be neutral, neither feminized nor emasculated.
I believe the Leftists are turning the military from a “Strike against any enemy that threatens us” into a “ Those people peacefully protesting against our unlawful mandates are a threat to our power so open fire”.
If you read the Congresional Record of June 1963 it will explain whats happening to our Country Initiated by the communists and it’s been working.
I agree .. What puzzles me is that the left doesn't see it that way ..they see it as winning...
BUMP
