“Too late to eradicate Wokism?”

Nope. Lots of woodchippers just sitting around needing something to do.

Because back in the day there were a huge number of young men from those areas who were patriotic and saw the military as a way to escape the poverty of their decrepit coal mining, farming, no future, etc existence. I saw it during my time in the service. Made outstanding US soldiers.

So, let me see if I got this . . .

Since Ophonybama The First, (that would be 2009!) EVERY PERSON IN THE ENTIRE Army chain of command FRom E-1 to 0-9 has been indoctrinated, subjected to and graded/promoted upon the full pantheon of “Woke” and DEI policies/dictats/rules/regulations, etc., etc.

And, now, in 2023, We the People are supposed to believe that, “ABRACADABRA-ALACAZAN” the Army is not “Woke” anymore?

That DEI is no longer operative?

That, presto-change-o, ALL of the Enlisted and Officer men and women are suddenly Warriors?

That the US Army is back to being the MACHO TAKE NAMES AND KICK ASS fighting force of yore?

Can the Navy and Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Space Force and the Coast Guard be far behind?

So, if you believe that one, I have this bridge for sale . . .

Standing armies are dangerous to liberty, especially woke armies.

The United States is involved, though not yet with substantial troops, in three theaters: Ukraine, China/Taiwan/the Philippines and the Middle East.

And with boots on the ground in Syria - or where did they go when they had to flee the Iranian troops there?

I think it’s too late because we still have the same woke-promoting cretins in charge of the military, and have recently taken on more with a similar attitude. Under the President Retardo illegal regime, being woke seems to be much more of an important criterion for military leaders than battle and leadership fitness.

The army was in bad shape in the 1970s, but Reagan restored it. Now, America has less wealth and the culture may be irredeemable.

When Trump's President, he'll say, 'I need citizens to join up so we can defend out borders and take out the Cartels... " And he'd say, "from this point forward and forever promotions will be based on Merit and NOT on WOKE Kink, Kolor, or Kin (powerful daddy - that's the new democrat kkk..).

The ranks would fill right up.

Too many burned bridges.

Plenty of government agents can be “pressed” into service . . . to their surprise.

The White males are sitting this one out. So they’ll have to recruit from the immigrants.

That’s why the draft is coming. So that white people can be cannon fodder.
