Woke white air force colonel who claimed other white colonels were racists gets nominated to be promoted to brigadier general
American Thinker ^ | 08/19/2023 | Monica Showalter

The Pentagon has gone to great ends to hide its wokery whenever it gets caught.

They've shut down drag shows on U.S. military bases. They've kicked openly white-hating wokesters teaching military kids upstairs to other things. They've taken down their Pride Month flags and tweets. They've changed course on hunting for "extremists" in the ranks when news emerged that they missed actual miscreants under their noses. They've investigated dog-sex officer pervert rings that had been going on for a long time in Hawaii. They've also denied, in testimony to Congress at appropriations time, that they are wokesters.

But personnel is policy and a look at who they're promoting tells another story.

Get a load of this charmer, as noted by Kevin Downey at PJMedia:

Enter USAF Col. Benjamin Jonsson. He was nominated by *President Biden to be promoted to brigadier general. Col. Jonsson is white. And “woke.”

Col. Jonsson believes the “problem” with the Air Force is “white colonels” like himself—but not really him, just all the other white colonels.

After the death of Saintly George Floyd, Jonsson penned an article for Air Force Times “calling out” his fellow Caucasian USAF colonels.

“As white colonels, you and I are the biggest barriers to change if we do not personally address racial injustice in our Air Force,” Col. Jonsson began.

The letter reeks of being written by a haughty,  green-haired, virtue-signaling white kid who attends high school in an affluent neighborhood.

“Defensiveness is a predictable response by white people to any discussion of racial injustice,” Col. Justice Warrior continued. “White colonels are no exception. We are largely blind to institutional racism, and we take offense to any suggestion that our system advantaged us at the expense of others.

Agreed, I fully expect the US military to be soundly defeated in the near future. Mark those words, it’s coming. God will not be mocked.

Is USAF Col. Benjamin Jonsson’s nose, brown or black?

This guy is an American Culture Canceller. I’ll bet Vindman is one of his heroes.

I’ve already instructed my kids, my nephews and nieces, and all their high school friends to stay as far away as possible from our new, woke military.

The Tsar appointed officers based on aristocratic birth, not competence.

Stalin purged his military of competent officers, preferring those who were slavishly loyal.

I guess our military is taking inspiration from Tsar Nicholas II and Stalin, two of history's outstanding military geniuses.

Maybe one day whites will stand up to protect themselves and their families.

What happens when we get into a real shooting war with a dedicated foe? Can our military go tor to toe with a nation state that isn’t a third world dictatorship? Can America take a loss? Can we take another Bataan? I truly fear for our GI Janes as POWs. Can we even put in a Draft before its branded “racist?” Will any Americans even fight for Biden’s woke and corrupt USA? My students openly say the young men who died in D-Day invasion were all fools, idiots who died for nothing. In a Year we could have dropped an A-Bomb on Hitler and won the war without D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, etc.
