Well, an "academic" in the last 20+ years means a product of commie indoctrination. Add in her resume building during the Obummer years and you end up with another progressive idiot who is also a career bureaucrat in a key position.....what could go wrong?

Lloyd Austin seems to meet all the same requirements after retiring as a general officer.

Yep, Austin benefited from the officer purges under Obummer. They started out by controlling the promotions of Majors, Lt. Colonels, Colonels, and Generals. A fresh core of "political" officers raising through the ranks.

Anyone rising to senior leadership levels in corrupt joe’s (mis)administration should be automatically considered poison.

Think Tank Cult

Hicks is a policy wonk focusing on climate change, health security, and DEI issues. She holds a Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She previously served as senior vice president, Henry A. Kissinger Chair, and director of the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). CSIS is a hawkish non-profit think tank providing policy solutions to influence political and bureaucrat decision-makers.

She also served on the Boards of Council on Foreign Relations and the Truman Center for National Policy. She served on the Center’s board with Vice Chairman Hunter Biden, Kamala Harris, Jake Sullivan, and Pete Buttigieg, ring leaders in the Biden Administration. The Center promotes critical race and gender theology in the State Department and the military and advocates decarbonizing the military. This is a page out of the script of the Idiocracy movie.

Deputy Secretary Hicks’s Woke Policies

Hicks establish the Deputy’s Management Action Group (DMAG) to be the Defense Department’s principal governance body to address topics from diversity to extremism. You would be correct if you consider Hicks’ role similar to the Soviet Union’s political commissar.

After the January 6th protests, Secretary Austin delegated Hicks to conduct a sixty-day review of white nationalism and racist ideologies in the military (AKA Inquisition). It created the false impression of counter-revolutionary forces embedded in the military. The report was tacitly released last month and provided no evidence supporting Austin’s justification for purging the military of right-wing extremism. Military morale and recruiting have bottomed out at an all-time low. As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”
