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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

When I was stationed at Osan AB (89-91), the base commander sent a warning to people wearing “Black to the Future” and “Black Power” type shirts. He said if the colors were reversed, it would be considered racist. Anyone caught wearing them on base would be subject to discipline. My how times have changed.
