The truth right here !

Back that rig up a few years before that.

Clinton had to "settle" for his "don't ask, don't tell" back in the early 90's.
IIRC, a whole mess of people with Stars on their shoulders stood up and said if blow-job-bill went about his plan to "openly" let homosexuals in the Military, that they would resign.
But that's when the U.S. Military had balls.

Now? They are shoving that diversity shit down everyone's throat. My Lil Brother is a full bird out on the west coast (spent his whole time in the Infantry) and telling me the horror stories about what's going on in today's Military. "Diversity" training is more important than time in the field or weapons training.

It's the slow erosion. You don't notice the first few inches of the road being gone, but next thing you know.... POOF... it ain't there anymore.

Sadly our military isn't much more than an embarrassment to the world. China has to be eating this shit up.

If Al Quidea / ISIS was smart, they'd play the long game and watch us destroy ourselves from within.
Put up the lbgqrstuv shit on Al Jazeera and the US's reaction. Ole' Achmed will point and laugh, watch and wait...

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that China has been playing a role in all of this from the very beginning.

You’d have to have no familiarity at all with history to not know where this is going and the destruction that awaits. Not trying to be pessimistic but I don’t think there’s a man nor administration capable of rectifying this decline. There are too many facets and people involved in the decay. Absent divine intervention and direction, collapse and consequence are all that there are left.

The only way this gets course corrected is from within, and some help from Congress. There's plenty of active duty, right-minded military members, their challenge is can they weather these mission-distractions and dilutions, while maintaining an attractive promotable profile. Change and its enforcement is only going to happen from within, these officers need to be the change agents because the Left certainly got its hooks in top many.

The second half is Congress needs to start getting involved, Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville has held up senior officer promotions over questions regarding military members getting abortions. While I think there's bigger, more far-ranging issues for the senator to get involved with regarding the military, the fact is too few Congressional members have not taken-up cause with the military and its poor record of acquisition, maintenance and readiness.

"I just don't have the emotional energy to deal with rude a**holes and we are planning to put up our Pride Month post," wrote the official, whose name and position are redacted. "I'd just as soon post our message without any feedback from trolls and ugliness."

For what reason are the names and positions of these officials being redacted? If they are so proud of their DEI agenda and if they are truly convinced that it is essential to the furtherance of the mission of the Navy, they should have no problem putting their names and positions out there.

Yes, I believe the ugly troll is the one making the statement from behind a redacted name.

You're right... but from what I see that's not happening.
My son-in-law had about 8-9 years in and had made Lt. Commander when Covid hit and Biden mandated the injections. He fought it... and sort of won. For two years they tried to kick him out. But denied the opportunity for travel and advancement, he will voluntarily get out of the Navy in early 2024. He just doesn't want to be a part of the woke Navy anymore. He did plan to stay in for the full 20 years.

There are lots of conservative young officers getting out.

Dad and I have had this conversation. When the revolution starts, it won't be led by Command Generals. Those ass-hats have been violating their oath of office for YEARS. So when the shit finally does hit the fan and the revolution starts, it'll be a junior officer, O-3 or O-4, who's had enough of senior command wiping their asses with the U.S. Constitution, that leads the way against "the establishment".

My brother separated 1-JUN last year after 30 years, 7 months, 10 days (but who's counting). I would follow him into a raging fire.....

It ain't easy being an insurgent, the Left lives for such scenarios. Maintain the 'sleeper agent profile' for years, then once in a position of authority and power, they can act. The other half is slowing influencing senior leadership who are of pliable and malleable minds, maintaining presence in the background, instructing the worker bee's. For those simply walking away, the military will be like California, once a very desirable place, now an area run exclusively by one side, distinctly bifurcated.

Conservatives or, even those who are right-moderate leaning are going to have learn this tactic, and fast. The Left has put into place many policies which they've crafted over many decades in order to reinforce their views amongst the young. It's not too far off that such policies will harden and become very difficult to change as those junior leaders of today, will be the field grade officers tomorrow, and they will be the ones enforcing this new direction not understanding that they were pawns in a 'quiet revolution'.
