The Army Needs A Few Good (Trans) Men Of Color
Sultan Knish ^ | 20 Jun, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 06/21/2023 10:55:47 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Front Page Magazine’s exclusive report that Biden’s nominee for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Brown, had signed off on a 43% quota for white male officers made waves. In interviews, I warned that quotas had become more fundamental to the military than winning. And it’s been that way for a while. That’s why we have a very diverse woke brass that is incapable of winning wars, yet argues for abortion and transgenderism.

The Biden administration’s obsession with making diversity, equity and inclusion into the center of every military program has put more pressure on the woke brass to deliver results.

The U.S. Army missed its recruiting goals in the previous fiscal year by 25% or 15,000 soldiers. Next year recruiters expect to miss by at least 10,000 which suggests that it will be even worse. But the Army is far more concerned with missing its far more crucial equity recruiting goals.

The Army needs to recruit minorities: not the same old boring white men like Washington, Eisenhower or Audie Murphy. That’s why its recruiters are making videos in different languages through FLRI or the Foreign Language Recruiting Initiative. Beyond Spanish, the program focuses on Chinese, Russian, Tagalog, and numerous other languages.

Army flyers begin with “No Habla Ingles?” No problem. You can still “reciba dinero” and get “education gratis”. So long as you have a green card and a pulse, you’re in.

No Habla Ingles, an inability to speak English, or a nationality from two of the country’s major enemies, aren’t a problem. An AP story on the Air Force recruitment of foreign nationals notes that “in many cases the immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance” implying that in some cases they are immediately put into such jobs.

The Army however isn’t just looking for warm bodies, but bodies of the right color.

That’s why active duty personnel are being barraged with requests to update their REDCAT information. REDCAT stands for Racial Ethnic Designation Category and was created to track conformity with identity politics quotas. Ever since racial and ethnic quotas were made a goal, recruiters and IPPS-A, the Army’s human resources system, have been pushed to bring REDCAT numbers into line with quota goals. And IPPS-A has been hectoring personnel to update their race and ethnicity data in the hopes of finding more hidden minorities in the ranks....

Wasn’t that a historical indicator of the decline of Rome when barbarian mercenaries became a measurable part of the army?

The Air Force has an extensive Cryptologic Language Analyst program, so they recruit foreign national native speakers.

“An AP story on the Air Force recruitment of foreign nationals notes that “in many cases the immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance” implying that in some cases they are immediately put into such jobs.”

Can you be foreign born and still get a Top Secret Clearance?


Can foreign born citizens get Top Secret clearance?

Non-U.S. citizens do not qualify for a security clearance.

However, if a non-U.S. citizen requires access to U.S. classified information and meets the requirements of the 32 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 117.10(k),

A Limited Access Authorization (LAA) no higher than the Secret level may be issued.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam and leftism.

But the one thing you can never have too little of is identity politics virtue signaling.

The woke military brass celebrated Pride Month with drag shows and rainbow flags across bases from Japan to Texas. Taking part in LGBTQ pride parades and drag shows is another duty.

Commanders are not only required to examine “the unit’s demographic racial and ethnic designation categories” for “at least twice a year”, but they also have to review “member participation in ethnic and special observances”. We may not win any wars, but as long as everyone shows up to hold a rainbow flag and applaud Bob twirling in a tutu, it’s all good.

Been a long time since the days of a few good men. Now the military brass only want a few select men.

... Who needs a few good men when you can have a few good trans-men of color? And who cares if they speak English? No Habla Ingles? No problemo! Having HIV is not a problem. Being from an enemy nation is not a problem. Being a man who believes he’s a woman is not a problem.

Being white, especially a heterosexual male, is a very big problem. We need a military that looks like America and white heterosexual men look nothing like America.

A deal could be struck with the Chinese - Cartels charge the Chinese an extra thousand and drop their illeals off at Army Recruitment Centers...(of course Biden still gets his ten percent.)

Everybody in the military just needs to update their profile to minority of their choice. They have no idea any of verifying it. Use their mania against them.

What will life be like in five years when this is seen as normal and not satire? Just like where we are right now would have been seen as ridiculous satire five years ago.

Not has the administration ensured that we will lose the next war we’re in, they seem determined to start it.

What Happens when the Big War starts? You know its coming, the signs are out there. Who will fight if no one signs up for the All Volunteer Army of Just woke people? Draft? How many will resist or just desert? What happens when we are faced with a competent foe? Our Army today couldn’t fight Mexico and her Cartels. How are we going to fight Russia in East Europe? Will Biden sell our battleplans to China for a few million? Will Hunter? How patriotic will the Officers be? Will they fight for a corrupt AmeriKKKa?

I’d say they will need to bring back the draft in a few years.

I’ll help Draft Dodgers.
