“The Military Can’t Afford to Alienate Anyone Except White Men”
Front Page Mag ^ | 4/10/23 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 04/10/2023 10:51:48 PM PDT by CFW

The Biden administration’s reaction to being criticized for playing identity politics with the military has been to play identity politics with the military. Are you concerned about our military readiness now that its purpose has been redefined to focus on the national security threats emerging from climate change, white privilege, and abortion bans? Please allow the man claiming to be a woman to explain why you’re undermining military readiness.

As assistant secretary of defense for readiness, Shawn Skelly oversees military preparedness for warfighting, including training programs, equipment safety and munitions supplies.

And Skelly has a message for Republicans accusing the Department of Defense of promoting diversity and inclusion in the armed forces at the expense of military readiness: their campaign is what’s hurting the military’s warfighting capabilities.

“If you want to be ready, then you have to ensure that everybody that is in your force can be their best selves and contribute as a member of a team and be seen as valuable,” said Skelly, speaking at the Pentagon in his first in-depth interview since taking the job in 2021.

Could you have hollywood without jews.

“Earlier this week, Marlon Brando met with Jewish leaders to apologize for comments he made on Larry King Live, among them that “Hollywood is run by Jews.” The Jewish leaders accepted the actor’s apology and announced that Brando is now free to work again.”

Who knew a tranny was in charge of America's war-readiness?

“...everybody that is in your force can be their best selves...”


I have a problem taking seriously someone who says something like this.

It sure is. I was hoping Trump would have really put good military people in place to interrupt their cycle back 4 or 5 years ago. Like he did with the courts.:(

Meh, not really. The beat Napoleon and probably would have come back on Hitler the same way. Germans would have taken Moscow, and there would have been a much longer harder turn around, but they could have done it eventually.
It was never in the cards that Germany would win in the east.
They got overconfident from knocking off unprepared western Euro nations that after WWI were utterly unprepared mentally for another war.

Then they jumped on the big kahuna. But Lend Lease was a huge help for them. And boots, trucks, and food were extremely important.

“Oh, I know all about global thermonuclear war. I had a ringside seat.”

I miss the op tempo, it made the days go by quicker and the patrols seem shorter.

Does not suggest any sort of inspirational leadership. Just be your selves.

NOT likely to prevail other than navel gazing.

And just who will the gobt draft? Going after societys’ slackers, illegals, trannys? Or going back to the bench of southerners that have answered past calls? Think that is really going to happen? Maybe our brave soy boys will step up?

Looks like it will have to be mostly females or whatever is the suitable term of the moment. Ranks rounded out with fightin trannys should make a mean aggressive force.
