The United States Air Force Academy, my alma mater, has suffered from an obvious leadership problem for some time.
During my 30th reunion several years ago, my classmates and I noticed a marked change at our beloved institution – the focus on training warriors to defend the nation was gone. In its place was a focus on buildings, big athletics, and ‘diversity’ (we came to find out later except diversity in political ideas).
I confronted then Superintendent Lt Gen Michelle Johnson at the reunion about the lack of discipline, the lack of focus on a warrior culture, even the lack of respect for alumni walking the Academy grounds, and she said, ‘We don’t believe in hazing’. This was such a cowardly answer to her obvious deliberate destruction of the mission of the institution. I was shocked. [snip] I wrote this story following this encounter – The United States Air Force Academy Doesn’t Train Warriors Anymore.
USAFA embarrassed itself shortly after with a horrendous parade march in front of the President of the United States, where cadets couldn’t even march in a straight line, a result of lack of discipline and training. I wrote this article after the incident – Air Force Academy Has Leadership Problem.
I was then approached by the Academy, through a classmate via a Facebook chat. This classmate had obviously been talking with Academy leadership and had been asked to contact me.
It seems the Academy wanted to make a deal.
Incoming Superintendent Lt Gen Jay Silvera wanted to invite me to his house for dinner. They wanted me to give speeches at the Academy. They promised I would ‘sell a lot of books’.
But there was a catch.
I couldn’t write anything negative anymore about the Air Force Academy.
The corruption stunk.

What’s most appalling is that we have no political party substantively opposing these rampaging marxists.
As long as the cash keeps flowing to DC republicans, they certainly don’t mind the Marxism.
This is not happening in a vacuum. The left know exactly what they are doing and it doesn’t look pretty at all. When Trump said “They’re not after me, they’re after you - I’m just in the way” he was not kidding. They way they brutalized and attacked him, his family, his businesses, and his supporters (some of whom were murdered) you can see where this is going.
We have been warned by Venezuelans, former Yugoslavians, Cubans, etc. They see now in America what they saw before their countries sank into bloodshed and starvation.
Here is an article about a woman from Communist China who survived the Cultural Revolution and escaped to America. She addresses the Loudoun County, VA school board about the dangers of what they were teaching:

The Military is under a Marxist siege. And some weird sh!t percolating with a defense contractor.
AF-centric ironically.
Ping.
“I confronted then Superintendent Lt Gen Michelle Johnson at the reunion about the lack of discipline . . . “ There’s your problem. Well, one of them.
Remember that Obama purged the Warrior Generals. The ones that are left are not worth a damm.
Well there's your problem!
Ping.
Wait. This isn’t the Bee?
Gen. Millie’s orders.
The entire federal government is like this folks, not just the DoD or USAF.

They put a woman, whose only flying and command experience was in refueling, in charge of training warriors.

Why on earth would the author suggest that parents send their sons and daughters to this indoctrination camp? The war against Marxism cannot be fought by cadets in an academy environment. It needs to be fought by the parents, many of whom are Air Force alumni.
As is often the case, the comments following the article are very informative. Definitely click-worthy, IMO.
It would make more sense if it was the Bee.

True dat, but I recall the purges after Tailhook ‘91. A Navy Captain I know got canned because of a banner at an O’Club that criticized the great feminist Congress-clown Patsy Schroeder of Colorado.
