'Embarrassing': Air Force Twitter Account Sparks Outrage After Going Way Too Far in Honor of ‘Pride Month'
Red State ^ | June 08, 2023 | Sister Toldjah

The recruiting crisis within the U.S. military is a very real thing, and while senior military leaders and “military experts” have been putting the blame squarely on young people, all signs point to the bigger issue boiling down primarily to one thing: the federal government’s dangerous obsession with all things woke.

From my perspective as a civilian, there is also the issue of how there seems to be a deemphasis on taking pride in America (which of course goes along with wokeness), with the focus being more on placating those with hurt feelings that go along with their long list of grievances with their country than there is on strengthening trust and faith in the U.S. military institution and ensuring our men and women are in tip-top, ready-to-go form.

Take, for instance, the United States Air Force Twitter account. On Wednesday, they posted a tweet celebrating Pride Month, and – incredibly – it depicited a U.S. soldier saluting not the American flag, but a Pride flag.

In the USAF Twitter account, an airman is shown saluting the gay pride "Rainbow Flag", not the US Flag.

How did the mentally ill take over the country? It really is that simple. These people are lunatics.

Would someone please, for the love of all things good, tell me what the hell it is these people are so proud of!? I’ve seen enough clips of their debauchery to know that it can’t possibly be that!

I pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag of the United States of American and to perversions for which it stands. One nation, torn asunder, with prison for some and liberty for others. All in the name of Just-us.

Thinking that people who are inclined to serve in the military would accept the woke BS is a Bud Light move.

In this period of an average year, you’d normally have young people about to graduate, and make a decision about signing up for the Air Force. With all the stuff going on....I’d suggest that most people viewing things...aren’t inclined to talk to the recruitment folks.

At some point by late August...I expect the recruitment bosses to be whining over the numbers, and trying to explain to the generals that they will miss their end-of-year numbers by a fair number.

It's a perverse life style. Those that partake of it know, deep down, that it isn't right. They struggle with their own self-acceptance. Out of a desperate need for acceptance and justification for what they know is wrong, they seek that acceptance and approval from others. When it is not forthcoming, they become violently confrontational in a futile demand for not just acceptance and approval, but celebration of their perversion.

There are many requirements for drone pilots from remote locations. I guess the Air Forces feels many of these so called pride folks have plenty of experience working the joy stick.

Yep. How did it happen? Because way too many people were way too accommodating.

Eliminate woke policies, return to policies that exclude homosexuals and others with gender dysphoria, strictly separate men's and women's professional activities in the military, and there will be no recruiting crisis.

Healthy men--who are the only people suitable for the military--with the possible exception of healthy women--want only to serve with other healthy men. Anything that interferes with this interferes with the purpose and objective of the military.

The ONLY purpose and objective of the military is NATIONAL DEFENSE. Only healthy young men can serve this purpose. Only they should be recruited.

If women want to serve in the military, a special branch of service should be established for them only.

Anything other than the above is nothing more than an expression of the decadence of a civilization, a decadence that will prove fatal to the civilization and all who live within it.

What makes one "proud" to stick his penis into another man's anus?

I like sex with women. I'm not "proud" of that, it's just normal.

A friend made a very good point. We have one day for dead veterans, we have one day for living veterans. But there's a whole month for this crap.

The military is being canceled, and rightly so. If you ever have any doubt about whether there should be forced, mandatory conscription, then the intentional indoctrination into false ideologies should make up your mind. We can never allow that to happen while the military continues to operate as it does today.

With that stated, the problem needs to be solved. The military is a vital part of our national security and defense. Good and truthful men should continue to serve our nation and have the explicit intent to eliminate the leftists, the woke, homosexuals, and gender denying freaks from all ranks in the military. Without good men to fill these positions our military will be doomed for a lack of competent leaders.

The problem is so critical that it needs to be addressed on multiple fronts, including politics, laws, and everyday life. Those avoiding voluntary enlistment are an argument for change. They should not be maligned for holding true moral values. The freaks are the ones that need to be cleansed from our military and nation if we are to have a nation. The days of the libertarian idea of allowing these freaks to do what they do just because they are consenting adults need to be over. That is a false argument. Consent and adulthood are not the determinants of truth and moral behavior. There is one truth. There is right and wrong. Let’s start acting like it.

We are living in Romans 1 times. Read this chapter. It describes what we are going through and the reason why.

I don't think the mentally ill have taken over the country. The trannies are not in charge. They're just being used to undermine once-Christian America.

The real question is, who's behind the agenda? Why are they doing it?

I heard a theory that this is a loyalty test. If a politician, judge, officer, CEO, can say something so obviously false like "Women have penises," it proves that person is safe. A coward who'll say or do anything, obey any order, and offer no resistance to the oligarchs.
