Our Military Is A Woke Joke

Ignore those pictures of the Afghan army, that our military senior leader geniuses spent 20 years and zillions of dollars on, disintegrating in the face of a pack of glorified mountain banditos from the Seventh Century – the real story is that, finally, America’s fighting men and women are fully aware of the urgency of accepting and validating the trans experience. And it's even better if said trans people are BIPOC. Plus differently abled.

Kurt isn't a great novelist, but he writes a good rant now and then.

[doc maverick]

The Obama planted pussy military “leaders” are pissing their panties.
They don’t know how to handle anything.
This whole debacle rests squarely on them and the JoeBama regime who’s ass they have been kissing since Obama got rid of the real leaders and put these pussies in. The CIA and FBI are dead eat regime ass kissers too.
Now some of them are left stranded and outed by their dead regime leaders who stole an election from Trump. They get what they deserve-the CLOWN 🤡 Medal and the laughing stock of the world for the biggest screwup in American history. Worse than Jimmah Carter!
They always leave everyone to die. Look at Benghazi.
They are formulating their lies right now.
The white hut has been dead silent and so have all democrats.
Biden is in hiding in a dementia fog and Kamala doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground.
Where are strident Pelosi and John f’ing Kerry?

[SanchoP]

This is not his usual rant. He’s “mad as hell” and his anger scorches the page.

[Hambone 1934]

Dems always leave the innocent behind..Since they aren’t in the line of fire, they don’t care about the ones who are....

[Uncle Miltie]

"There’s going to be no circumstance where you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy” in Kabul like Saigon.- Hidin' Biden.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Hold on there, Uncle Miltie.

There is a huge difference.

They are both Chinook's but the ones used in Kabul are newer, improved models.

[USCG SimTech]

Maybe the armed forces needs to be a 4th branch of the government. Leaders at the top chosen by the other 3 branches with VERY specific metrics in their records adhering to patriotism AND adherence to the truths of the Constitution.

[Rummyfan]

There’s hope for a rebirth – as a hierarchical organization, the military responds to what its civilian leadership demands. The current crop of lap dogs understood that President Asterisk wants wokeness and weather panic, and he got it. President DeSantis, after he fires just about everyone 07 and up (and a lot of O6s) must tell the remaining guys who will need to re-do the post-‘Nam rebuild that their focus is warfighting, warfighting, and more warfighting, and that the enemy is not racial hustles, the climate, or American patriots.

If we can get to President DeSantis.

At this time in our history we want a weak ineffective military. A standing army is always a subtle threat to the populace.

I remember Bush refusing to bomb terrorists who were attending for a fellow terrorist. That mentality is why we can’t win any wars.

[rarestia]

I was gonna say that the Kabul Chinook has 4 wheels while the Saigon model has 3. It’s obviously nothing like Saigon.

[T.B. Yoits]

The oaths of the military members to defend the Constitution mean nothing after November 2020. Kamala Harris is ineligible to serve as either Vice-President or President since she's not a natural born citizen because her parents were not U.S. citizens when she was born.

Their oaths mean nothing.

LOL! I wouldn't be surprised if "fact checkers" at the big techs, politifact, etc., use that excuse to give it a "We rate this story false."

[Meah]

Yes, I was thinking about the Afghan fiasco through the lens of the military’s newfound wokeness. Glad someone has written about it!

[Jan_Sobieski]

Bush’s Pentagon also took weapons away from everyone after the country was in control. That is recipe for disaster for the good guys!

[Earl43P]

Nope, those are two TOTALLY different aircraft.
CH-46 in Saigon, operated by Marines. Boeing Vertol 106.
CH-47 in Kabul, operated by Army (and others)Boeing Vertol 107.

[Sequoyah101]

Fire everybody O-6 and up. There are plenty of great O-4s and O-5s that have been passed over because they are not woke and don’t “demonstrate their dedication to diversity”.

It isn’t worth the trouble to sort out the good O-6 and up. These days you don’t get to be an O-6 on mission excellence and leadership of anything but diversity.

Real estate is location, location, location.

Military is Mission, Mission, Mission and the mission is warfighting. 100% prepearation and capability for what you hope never comes. That takes skill and determination and dedication not diversity. It takes a culture if not a cult at its core. It takes finding young men who are full of piss and vinegar an training them to be coordinated killers. That is how American can sleep safely at night in our warm little beds. No other way.

[Sequoyah101]

It is also Army and not Marine or Navy.

Nope, nothing like Siagon at all.

I am not understanding how they got the Apaches and Chinooks in without some refueling points. Can they be air refueled now? I don’t see any probes for that. I’m guessing they brought them in by C-17.

I hope I’m dead wrong but we are going to lose a lot of assets again in addition to our poor troops.

RUN AND HIDE
