The recruiting crisis within the U.S. military is a very real thing, and while senior military leaders and “military experts” have been putting the blame squarely on young people, all signs point to the bigger issue boiling down primarily to one thing: the federal government’s dangerous obsession with all things woke.
From my perspective as a civilian, there is also the issue of how there seems to be a deemphasis on taking pride in America (which of course goes along with wokeness), with the focus being more on placating those with hurt feelings that go along with their long list of grievances with their country than there is on strengthening trust and faith in the U.S. military institution and ensuring our men and women are in tip-top, ready-to-go form.
Take, for instance, the United States Air Force Twitter account. On Wednesday, they posted a tweet celebrating Pride Month, and – incredibly – it depicited a U.S. soldier saluting not the American flag, but a Pride flag.

The Air Force is a now technology company, probably no harm in it paying about the same level of allegiance to woke as other technology companies. Combat piloting will very soon consist of supervising a pod of autonomous and remotely piloted vehicles. They only reason combat pilots will be within 5,000 miles of the combat zone will be so the Army and Marine ground commanders can have in-person meetings with them.
Imagine the prison sentence for someone who tore down the flag in the middle.
The first thing a conquering power does is raise their flag on the conquered territory.
You’re assuming that they are building a military to fight China.
We have a winner.
Front and center and at equal height. Flipping bastards. 🤬
Accommodating or cowed? I know my fair share of people who worked for large corporations who were forced to attend annual reeducation seminars as part of their employment requirements. It wasn’t optional. This has been going on for decades. Add to that the fact that the Left controls every aspect of education, media and information dissemination and it becomes a hard battle to fight, let alone win.
Considering it’s sure to have a pedo color in there and hanging over Peter Pedo’s presidential insignia, I guess it’s fitting for this illegitimate admin.
Just inviting treason, IMO.
You wonder if we were ever forced into a true shooting war with a Russia or China would some of this end. There are numerous stories of ineffectual desk jockey generals who climbed through the ranks during the interwar years by being politically correct. Once the shooting started men like MacArthur, Patton, LeMay, Halsey and others were soon found languishing in backwaters and put into leadership roles because we needed men who could fight not kiss butt. The problem is in a new war will we have the time to effect that wholesale change? We lost a lot of good men early in WWII because of the leadership of the 30’s.
We face the similar challenges today. Recognizing that makes it imperative to immediately change military leadership. There are something like three to four times the number of four star generals and admirals today than there were in WWII. Under them is a bloated bureaucracy in both rank and function that is not needed. The military needs to rightsized. Our national security needs to be laser focused only on tangible threats to American interests. Focus is one key to strength and competence. We cannot afford from either a dollar or security standpoint to be less than focused on real threats to national sovereignty and interests. Anything else dilutes our strength, makes us weak, wastes tax dollars, and positions America to be bullied and/or defeated.
Many have left the AF Academy over the wokeness. Having to apologize for being white doesn’t sit well. One Cadet left over not being allowed to fly a military flag, but the rainbow flag hung across the hall in a pride room. That’s okay because it’s their conviction. What a disgusting mess!
They did this on Instagram too and got absolutely murdered in the comments.
And not just that, but how in the hell did we get branded mentally ill while not having moved off our dime? Irrationality is the new norm since there apparently is no thing called rationality. Those who think so are the mentally ill I guess.
Recruitment of the immoral people for a government military force is required when a government intends to do immoral things with that military....like attacking and purging it’s own citizens.
Light loafers to be issued to all air force personnel.
Not sure how they justify a US flag to the right of the “progress pride” flag. It’s obvious this arrangement elevates another flag over the flag of the United States
There are two possibilities of why the Left is obsessed with sexual deviancy. One, from the Christian perspective, is that it is a battle of good versus evil. Satan is influencing his followers to revolt against everything that God has ordained. The other possibility is...ok, there is only one.
We’re at a point where “leave them kids alone” is enough to be canceled. There’s lots of voices on twitter and youtube from LGB who find what’s going on to be too much and things are being done and said in their name that they don’t agree with, in particular the sexualizing of children. There’s an effort to reclaim LGB from the 2SITQ+ which has nothing to do with same sex attraction and consenting adult relationships.
Deviant and perverse radicals have co-opted the LGB to ride their coattails into mainstreaming. It’s not coincidence this year we suddenly see a new version of the classic rainbow flag that specifically identifies as the “progress” version and adds colors for the transgender movement yet somehow co-opts ethnic minorities with their own color bands grouped with the transgender ones.
Since we don’t control media, entertainment, education or digital communications all of which they are saying have more right to your children than you do as a parent to teach and protect them we can only push back and join with like minds of every walk of life to resist the overreach that’s landed as woke politics. Women need to speak up for their hard fought rights. LGB need to call out radicals doing perverse things for and with children in their names. That’s not intolerance or self hate or internalized homo or transphobia. We can’t allow ourselves to be silenced.
They use fascist tactics to break down our moral compasses, to create self doubt and condition people. It’s the same evil racist mindset that keeps the Black community on edge, unsure of itself, angry and feeling victimized and unempowered to achieve. Joe’s “you ain’t black” comment should have ended his campaign immediately because it revealed his hidden racism. He feels Democrats own the Black community. Instead he bought cover by bringing Kamala onboard who has always been about herself and power. They’re masterful manipulators and unrelenting
