I don't know how much attention this stuff gets, but it really is both stupid and illegal. It's not just the praetorian guard stuff they're pulling with the National Guard deployment to DC, either. This weekend there were several stunts in which military personnel and leadership deployed as political weapons against American citizens who disagree with the current government.
Illegal:
Here's the military publication cited in that last. The conduct is not illegal because the publication says so; the publication says so because it's illegal. The general officer who signed that document is none other than our current Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, currently overseeing what increasingly looks like an opportunity to purge right-wing views from the military.
The leadership, at least, has internalized that it is their job to parrot political support for the administration and mock its enemies. The fact that this is illegal will only matter if laws are still being enforced -- well, I mean, obviously they would be against you. It does seem like the lesson of the last few years, though, is that the FBI and the DOJ work for the political establishment: they exist to excuse their crimes, but punish their enemies. Has the military legal sphere fallen as well? Signs point to "yes."
"Get right before you get left, boomer." From an official USMC account. A lot of those Boomers were Marines too, and they fought a harder war in Vietnam than we ever faced.
I believe this is an extremely dangerous situation. Obama started a Stalinist-with-a-happy face purge of the Field Grade ranks. And not to be overlooked is that the lower officer ranks are now overwhelmingly being generated from "Woke" colleges and universities' ROTC programs.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats view the military as a means to fundamentally change America rather than to defend the Republic. Defense is the last thing on their minds. What they are undertaking here, and what has recently been done is, in my experience and training, illegal. I feel sorry for, and fear for, true patriots who are currently serving. I feel as if the new Sec Def has designated them as the enemy!
Perhaps the recent funding for military sex changes can be used to make MEN out of the Joint Chiefs and some other Generals on the Potomac-- SH

Amen to your last paragraph. II MEF wants to write off Khe Sanh (and Chosin and Iwo and Belleau Wood...)? The Marines used to be pragmatic. Furthermore, the issue isn't (usually) that roles are opened to women, it's that standards are lowered to hit quotas.

ReplyDeleteApparently the issue that provoked the USMC thing wasn't even that. It was a charge that maybe the military should be focused on Chinese aggression, given its announcement that the PLAN was now bigger than the US Navy; a statement by a top Chinese official last week that war with the US was 'inevitable'; recent war games targeting Taiwan and practice runs against US carriers; etc. Maybe, the suggestion was, all this diversity stuff wasn't the proper top-tier concern right now.
However, just this week the US Army announced it was abandoning its fitness test because 65% of female soldiers fail it. They'll redesign the test so that is easier for the women to pass.

Do not mind me. I am too busy burning this all down. Americans gonna bit rock bottom and realize how yeshua felt.
ReplyDeletePain and trauna can cause awakenings. I took an easier route.
No, they have not fallen. You should know better grim. Plenty of ymars hiding in spec ops and retired vet circles. This reaction is a panic to q. They dont emwant us to set up the coup so they want to strike first.
ReplyDeleteToo late leftists. Way too late.
Someone said fallujah was setup like dc now. Interrsting fulfillment of prophecy.
