Good post. Right on!
Serving in the military doesn’t give you perpetual cover and it certainly that alone does not make you a conservative. The military is full of such wokesters these days beavering away at the USA. From Milley on down.
When I grew up as a navy brat, I never saw people or heard of people like some of the people we see today in the military. And when I served, I never saw any of them.
I have no doubt they were there, but they kept their heads down. And a good thing it was that they did. I would say that 80% of the people I ever encountered in the military when I was in either believed in the in innate goodness of the United States and the constitutional republic we live under, or mouthed it even if they didn’t believe it.
Those views they hid back then, and spout freely today are 100% incompatible with military service.
They were at least smart enough back then to keep those views hidden. And a good thing, because it could get your ass kicked.
Like I said, I know that they existed, But if they wanted to stay in the military or advance, they had to put a sock in it.
And one more thing… Even many of those who are squishy on this kind of thing, you knew they understood that their job was to be part of the US military.
Nowadays, their primary job is not to be part of the US military, it is to advance a social agenda.
And they do so, with the full approval of the people in charge. If you have ever read the book “Once An Eagle”, It seems that those in charge now, and those getting advancement and being promoted are all Marxist “Massengales”.
They have And actively aggressively purging the “Sam Damon’s” from the military. And when we get into a shooting war, against an enemy who might go toe to toe with us, we are going to see the damage they have wrought.
It breaks my heart.
