Vambo Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Opinion What Biden's woke military has wrought The U.S. military should be the ultimate meritocracy – nothing matters on the battlefield other than training, leadership, and the trust between fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Unfortunately, recent Democrat administrations – and Joe Biden’s is no exception – have made race, gender, and controversial political teachings an integral part of military training and values, from the Pentagon to our service academies. A recent Reagan National Defense Survey found that the number of Americans with a "great deal" of confidence in the military has plummeted from 70 percent in 2018, to 45 percent now. The largest decline in trust comes among Republicans, whose strong confidence fell from 87 percent to 53 percent – a disturbing 34 percent drop. This has real world consequences for recruitment, especially since young conservatives are far more likely to serve in the military than their liberal counterparts. Last year, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard all missed their recruitment goals by significant margins. This year, the recruitment crisis has continued with the Army expected to miss its recruitment objective by as many as 30,000 soldiers. A similar story is unfolding at our military academies with the number of applications last year tumbling by 12 percent at West Point, over 20 percent at both Annapolis and the U.S. Air Force Academy, and by 25 percent at the Virginia Military Institute. During the same period, the number of college applicants nationwide rose over 20 percent. The Biden administration’s politicization of the armed forces has contributed to this disturbing collapse in morale. Soon after Joe Biden became president, the Pentagon ordered an unprecedented military-wide "stand down" of service members to root out right wing domestic extremists, wasting 5.8 million man hours. The Pentagon then hired Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officers at salaries as high as $200,000. For the past two years, the Department of Defense rigidly enforced vaccine requirements, cutting off tens of thousands of service members from benefits, even when many have legitimate objections and are young, healthy adults.

This no more "anti-military" than ridding America of leftist ideology is anti-American. Funny how all of a sudden you care about culture issues.

You think you can figure out the point now? No, I can't. What the fuck would it take to get through to you? Objecting to certain changes has zero to do with being anti-military. We have always been and will continue be pro-military unlike you liberal scum. Would you consider yourself anti-Browns because you don't like their new uniforms?...or their play calling? I would imagine you'd remain pro-Browns. Did that analogy help perhaps? It's so cute how you liberals take the pro-military, pro religion, pro-Jesus, pro-patriotism roads only when it becomes convenient for you. Jesus was a liberal right?
