The latest example of the politicization of the military under the Biden administration (and there are many) has been revealed by Stars and Stripes. It reports that the commander of the Osan Air Force base in South Korea has authorized troops on the base to wear a “pride morale patch” on their military uniforms, in public and while on duty.

The patches, badges, and ribbons on a soldier’s uniform can tell you a lot about the person, including their current assignment, the unit they served with in combat, their time in service and in overseas deployments in a combat theater, campaigns in which they have served, and sometimes their performance in combat.

Make no mistake about it: Flaunting an 11-colored “pride” patch that announces the wearer’s supposed “pride” in identifying with particular sexual practices or lifestyles is a political statement. It does absolutely nothing to advance a military unit’s lethality, competence, or readiness. But it does signal loyalty to DEI politics. Allowing it on any military uniform is another strike against an apolitical military, which is essential to a free country. But Col. McKibban clearly sees which way the political winds are blowing.

My late Air Force veteran fiancé must be turning in his grave.....

I wonder if the dude is requiring people to wear this ridiculous patch?

How disgusting. Disgusting that such a patch, with its inherent meaning, would be worn by a member of our Armed Forces and disgusting that a commander would allow it. Our military is being reduced to eunuch status.

The scumbag commander better get ready for unemployment insurance come next January/

Our military is being reduced to eunuch status.

It may be that the base name was misspelled in the article; it was the Onan air base.

They can sew it on right in the center on the back of their pants.

51st Fighter Wing commander Col. William McKibban should be courtmartialed, stripped of his rank, and dishonorably discharged.... if the Department of Defense weren’t manned by traitors.

So now a base commander can change uniform regulations on his own?

[CodeToad]

Anyone entering/staying in the military is taking an extreme chance at destruction of their careers and lives. One little faggot can ruin a military career with the unchecked authority they have.

[Red Badger]

What faggotry is this?

The Boy Scouts?...................

And I”d bet the commander at this base would be the first one to run for mommy’s basement if they were attacked.

Though standards and rules are constantly changing, uniformity and appearances remain very important in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Just so they ALL wear the pervert patch?

The Globohomo Empire is not afraid to insult the citizens of subject proxy nations under its control.

That should be good for another 10,000 or so enlistment drop

There is a photo of this fudge packer.

This is what Russia is fighting. The depraved sodomite globohomo agenda rammed onto the entire world led by the US Deep state and carried out by the Puppet Biden regime.

You are correct. A comment that is perfectly acceptable today could ruin your career tomorrow.

We see this in education and in business world. One perceived misstep and you’re out, cancelled. It’s now in the military too.
