Only ditching it on the surface. Once you sign on the dotted line it’s woke, woke, and more woke.

The U.S. Army’s new brand and ad campaign largely omits reference to woke identity politics...

Sounds like they're changing the label on the can, but not the contents. Bait & switch.

What did they think? That the Pajama Boy Army would come running to sign up?

A television commercial is going to save it all? Take a long hard look at The CIC. My God. Would you fight under him. Look at The Afghanistan tragedy. Look at his woke generals and SOS. Not to mention the fact that Biden appears to be instigating for WWIII. Haha.

Wokeness is only part of the problem (and new advertising doesn’t stop the wokeness, anyway). Who wants to send their kid to fight another senseless war? Who wants to risk life and limb for a country they can’t even recognize anymore?

If a draft were brought back, and I was conscripted, I’d sooner spend time making gravel at Leavenworth than fight for Brandon.

Recruits don’t respect perverse, moronic leadership and they’re right to think that way.

Would anybody even show up for a draft? The wokesters won’t and most conservatives would steer clear too.

BINGO. Once you step off the bus you will be greeted by an ‘army’ (no pun intended) of trannies who remain on base while they undergo their “transition” at taxpayer expense.

--to support “diversity as a strategic imperative” could cause conservative, often white families to believe they “are not welcome or appreciated in the military,”

You don't say.

"Army Pulls Handout Listing 'MAGA' as a Sign of White Supremacist Sympathies"

"Defense secretary, retired Gen. Lloyd Austin, laid blame on military leaders for failing to detect and root out white supremacy from the ranks."

"Defense Chief Lloyd Austin Orders Armed Services Stand-Down to Confront Issue of White Supremacy and Extremism In the Military."

And here I thought all of that was to help in recruiting.

The Army has come under fire for embracing perceived left-wing values

Those aren't values. They are vices.

No person of honor is going to fight on behalf of the furtherance of vice.

In other words, the leadership still embraces the Woke Movement, they’re just going to stay mum about it to boost recruiting.

Left-wing trends in the military’s education and personnel policies — including emphasizing inclusion of LGBTQ+ servicemembers, doubling down on outreach to minority communities, and teaching CRT and giving pronoun advice at the military academies — to support “diversity as a strategic imperative” could cause conservative, often white families to believe they “are not welcome or appreciated in the military,” Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, told the DCNF in June.

Not only that, every minute spent on this crap is a minute not spent on trading to kill and break things. It makes the military doubly weak.

Oh, dishonorably discharge all lesbos, fags and cra cra trans perverts.

Yes, and add jab, jab and more jab. If you are wise enough to not want to be a guinea pig for jabs released under EUA, there’s always a other than honorable discharge.

Don’t worry trannies, Linda Graham and Turtle will ensure Pride Month is still mandatory and monies for transition surgery are still available

Woke Army is a symptom not a cause.

Patriots needs to stay out of the Army if they want to be able to defend their homes, families, and communities.
