Navy Commander Says Defense Dept. Can ‘Now Not Be Trusted With Your Sons & Daughters’
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 10/23 | Jack and Jodie

Posted on 10/21/2023 1:38:34 AM PDT by spirited irish

The United States military is suffering a recruitment crisis says Robert A. Green Jr., an active-duty commander in the United States Navy.

“If I had a message for the American people, it would be this: The DoD (Department of Defense) cannot now be trusted with your sons and daughters,” Cmdr. Green warned.

“The failures of the past 20 years will continue unless there is radical action to right the ship, rebuild trust by defending individual rights, and re-prioritize warfighting readiness,” he continued. “We need to clean house, particularly at the highest uniformed leadership positions.”

I 100% agree with that assessment of the US military. It is run by a bunch of woke, gay, leftists.

The problem, ultimately, is fake elections. Of course you’re going to get weakness built into our defense when China is selecting our leaders.

I hope you're wrong, but fear you are all too right.

I trust that someone who is active or an ex-military officer will comment, but doesn’t making this comment while active carry potential repercussions? This makes it both more admirable (if he will not, as it were, be Admiralable as a result) and meaningful.

I would agree that it is better than to be truly admirable than to be admiralable in todays Navy, but I guess that is his point. lol or is it sos

I had to read this a couple of times before I got it. Sick people, with obvious perversions, one in particular, have been raised to the rank of admiral by this disgusting administration.

One thing that hasn’t come through is the WHY those 18 commanders have been relieved of their commands?

And whether the reasons are true.

No, it absolutely cannot. Not until there is a wholesale housecleaning. The officer ranks need to be scoured of all the Woke DEI/Tranny Leftists. President Trump will probably need to slaughter at least 1/4 to 1/2 of all Officers - especially those in senior ranks, clean out the service academies to force them back to focusing on warfighting and redeploy our forces to our own southern border to halt the ongoing invasion of our country.

All it takes us a simple majority vote of Congress to bring back the draft. Then the DC oligarchs would have enough American boys for all of their globalist misadventures. With a draft our warmongering rainbow warrior Pentagon could treat our sons and daughters any damn way they pleased.

Talked a cousin, HS graduate this spring, out of going into the military. With the ‘woke’ crap going on and a CIC who doesn’t give a rat’s rear end about those in the military (Afghanistan debacle, mandated bioweapon shots, etc.), it is not the time to be in the military.

More important to be honest about the mess than to cover it up or deny that it even exists.

That is why we had A Pearl Harbor, USS Cole, USS Pueblo, and Queens Navy Admiral John Kirby. Fools, delusional prima donnas and underestimating our enemies.

Re our enemies: If you think they can’t, they Will!

Thanks., and a few (less than 300) more words for others:

Although Pentagon maintains the “concerns about vaccines and ‘wokeness’ are among the least likely to be raised as reasons not to join the military,” Green explains that our 20-year ‘War on Terror” is a failure without “clear strategic objectives or victory criteria” that has resulted in:
Green explains that our 20-year ‘War on Terror” is a failure without “clear strategic objectives or victory criteria” that has resulted in:
•Over 7,000 military deaths.
•The historical tragedy of Joe Biden’s generals pursing a poorly-planned and executed withdrawal from Afghanistan resulting in 13 avoidable military deaths and more than $7 billion in military equipment left behind for the Taliban.
•The expulsion of more than 8,400 service members, many with unjustly-blemished service records, for resisting COVID-19 vaccination.
In all these cases, “no military leaders were held accountable,” Green wrote.
Green warns, “We are more vulnerable than we have been in many years and our near-peer adversaries are preparing to take us on,’

I would say that the failures go back at least 30 years.

In 1991 Congress removed the restriction of women from combat rolls.

Civilized nations do not send women into combat.

I doubt it is as cut and dried as "China is selecting our [military] leaders."

China certainly has its tentacles all over our country and throughout the government and business, BUT our educational system is also a Marxist indoctrination operation, and that has infected everything.

Note that just because China is a communist country and our people are indoctrinated Marxists does not mean the two are perfectly aligned. Most of the Marxist indoctrination in our educational system did not come from China but from Russia/USSR and the Eastern Bloc before their fall.

All that said though, we are in a real Marxist mess. And the funny thing is that most of the indoctrinated Marxists in our country don't even realize that they are Marxists...they just hate America, our Constitution, and our free market economy and are doing everything in their power to overthrow our government. They have no idea what kind of government will replace our current system except that it will be Edenic. Our indoctrinated kids (and adults) are classic useful idiots.

“If I had a message for the American people, it would be this: The DoD (Department of Defense) cannot now be trusted with your sons and daughters,” Cmdr. Green warned.
How dare this man refer to "sons and daughters" without clarifying this phrase such as "sons and daughters who identify as such."

His career is now in jeopardy, for as for "re-prioritize warfighting readiness,” does he not know that this is what the US military has been doing with its "Wokelitary" transistorizing? Which is called to defend an increasingly USS (United States of Sodom) with its Wokeducation goals:

Military.com, 2020: Here's the Marine Corps' Plan to End Gender Segregation at Boot Camp. The Marine Corps was tasked with explaining its short- and long-term plans for integrating recruit training, which was mandated by the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. Signed into law in December, 2020. “Gender integration at Marine Corps Recruit Training remains a top priority." “The outcome the Marine Corps desires for gender integration is for every male recruit to train alongside a female recruit within the same company.”” All-male recruit companies trained solely by men will be made “obsolete,”

David Berger, took to social media Tuesday morning to stress the service’s “most important matters.” Yet to get an abortion=murder their child, Navy service members are to be reimbursed for travel expenses and if they need to go to a different state they can be provided with up to three weeks off, with pay.

The Blaze, December 22, 2022: Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am/mater’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors The University of Pittsburgh received $2 million to conduct the study, which examined gender-integrated recruit training in military settings. "The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment," the report claimed. Marine Corps leaders are reportedly not convinced that transitioning to gender-neutral salutations would be as simple as the 739-page report suggests.

Countering this is the news of, The Pentagon Forming a Diversity and Inclusion Office, and and

allowing transgenders to serve in the military,

and with the Pentagon even ensuring free gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel,

while the chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer at the Department of Defense's education wing, a self-described "woke administrator," attacked a person for having the ""CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too,"

while Army mandatory training now including training Army personnel to know what to do in such scenarios as when a soldier who was "assigned" a biological gender at birth says he/she identifies as another gender, and lives as such in off-duty hours, but is not requesting to be treated as such while on duty, versus if such later requests to be identified as according to their chosen gender during duty hours, and/or experiences increased distress relating to his/her gender identity;

while apparently as part of the Naval Sea Systems Command Inclusion & Engagement Council’s Diversity Team's video series called “NAVSpEAks,” the Navy posts video on "the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone's pronouns"

as 'Keep Trying' — Naval Sea Systems Command Tells Americans to Advance Transgenderism,

consistent with "Navy Says Sailors Can Use Whichever Locker Room Suits Their Gender Identity,"

as well as the Air Force being with WOKEism in creating 'LGBTQ' and 'Indigenous Nations Equality' Focus Groups,

and also authorizing the use of gender pronouns in signature blocks,

and hosting a drag show at festival at Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE) on July, 2022, which also includes a poem on “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” and also posted a tweet celebrating Pride Month that depicted a U.S. soldier saluting not the American flag, but a Pride flag,

and the Army arms itself with a woke recruitment ad featuring lesbians at a gay wedding and an LGBTQ pride march,

and the CIA funds a 'cisgender millennial with anxiety disorder' campaign, and with the

Marines and Navy as well as the Air Force and Army posting messages on social media supporting gay pride and Pride Month,

with the former posting rainbow bullets, and the latter a rainbow colored arm and hand in salute (essentially to the flag of Sodom)

and with the Navy naming a military ship after the immoral gay rights leader Harvey Milk, and (now) with a transgender veteran christening it,

along with the Navy's first all gay U.S. Navy helicopter crew,

as well as enlisting a drag queen, who is an active duty sailor, in a “digital ambassador” program aimed at targeting a wider array of potential recruits through digital platforms like Instagram,

thereby adding to the list surrender to demons such as,

U.S. Army Announces the Allowance of Lipstick, Nail Polish, and Better Breastfeeding

Army Secretary Champions What’s ‘Important’: Making ‘Marginalized Communities’ ‘Feel Included’

The Army Will Force Female Soldiers to Shower With Biological Males,

and with military generals calling for Increased Diversity and More Women in Combat,

and changing its song to be gender-neutral,

and Forcing Marines to Make Boot Camp Coed,

and feeding cadets cultural Marxist propaganda about gender and masculinity therein,

to its new diversity and inclusion operation from West Point

and for its Special Operations Command ,

while showing a rapid response readiness to engage in online combat with the likes of Tucker Carson and other such enemies

thus nuking Jesus-themed candies on an Air Force bases

(although turbans and hijabs are allowed,) stop making faith-based Dog Tags,

and prohibiting service members from “liking” or reposting "extremist" views on social media (depending on all the circumstances involved) as part of its prohibition against actively engaging in extremist activities,

Which behavior is consistent with working to rid the military itself of “extremism

such as the head of the US Space Force unit being fired and put under investigation for criticizing Critical Race Theory,

while the US Army is teaching officers at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth that white people can’t experience racism. The definition of racism is taught in an elective course called “Race and Gender in U.S. Military History” which is available for up to 32 students each year. The course also defines gender as “a set of socially constructed characteristics, such as norms and behaviors, typically associated with being masculine, feminine, androgynous, or other.” “The Command and General Staff College is at the forefront of building Army leaders ready to fight and win our nation’s wars,” Camara told American Military News.

Then though in a somewhat personal civilian incident, a New Jersey mother was reported to local police by a U.S. Army Lt. Col because she criticized her child's elementary school for displaying posters in the hallway about sexual preferences. U.S. Army Lt. Col. Christopher Schilling also used his military title to engage in an email thread with U.S. Air Force Major Nathanial Lesher, who assured Schilling that he would forward his concern to North Hanover Township Police Chief Robert Duff "for awareness." Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst confirmed that it notified law enforcement about the exchange as part of "common information-sharing practice among law enforcement entities."

O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. (Ezra 9:6)

Which shame has as its capstone of damnation not only paying for troops and their family members to travel for abortions but the promotion of the abomination of homosexual unions and its relations, which are overall deleterious to individuals and the nation, thereby essentially saluting the flag of Sodom, as of United States of Sodom:

Also, last I saw, More Than 75% Of Americans Aged 17-24 Aren’t Fit For Military Service: (DOD) 77% of Americans in the above age group could not physically qualify to enter the armed forces – a 6% increase from 2017..CDC statistics also show that 19 percent of active-duty service members suffered from obesity in 2020, which is up from 16 percent in 2015. A U.S. Army general bluntly said that young Americans are either too obese, too sick, or too criminal to serve in the military. we have are obesity, we have pre-existing medical conditions, we have behavioral health problems, we have criminality, people with felonies, and we have drug use,” Lt. Gen. Xavier Brunson told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington.

And the Army dropped grenade throwing as a requirement to graduate because new recruits could not throw far enough. “We are finding that there are a large number of trainees that come in that quite frankly just physically don’t have the capacity to throw a hand grenade 20 to 25 [82 feet] to 30 meters."

Consistent with such, physical fitness assessment failures being now scrubbed from sailors’ records, a clean slate that will allow them to remain in the service,

and with lower fitness standards for women in the Army,

while nearly half of female soldiers are still failing the new Army Fitness Test, Moreover, nearly 70% of American soldiers now serving are obese or overweight — compromising national security.

Also, there is the Intellectual Decline of the Army Officer Corps. The size of the U.S. military in 2017 was half of what it was in 1990, and in general I think many signed up for the benefits rather than patriotism. 16% were women and racial and ethnic minorities made up 43%, and a poll from the Military Times and Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families conducted in July 2020, 49.9 percent of 1,018 active-duty military respondents had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. That poll showed Biden with a 4-percentage-point lead over Trump
