This certainly peels the onion back on what's going on at our uniformed universities. The United States Air Force Academy's White Boy #2

In today's world, I would tell my kids (of which I have none) to be a garbage man before I would encourage them to go into the military. Save for just a FEW remaining units (and those are probably in danger of being infested and overrun with this CRT/DEI bullsh*t), it is a FECKLESS organization now. JMHO... When West Point allowed the fist raising of those black female cadets, I knew it was pretty much over at that point. HONOR has been stricken from that campus. It is a lost cause... I know we have SF members here with kids in the military. I pray their protection from this scourge.... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Army ROTC while in college (with sword). He handled this much better than I would have. After a few years as an infantry officer, now a Signal Corp Captain serving in South Korea. Yes, the military is a reflection of society. If all the good men and women stayed away, the thugs would win. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke | |||

We're in a situation that is similar (but different) to post-Vietnam. The US Military was an abused and disorganized organization, rife with racial and social issues that the Terrible 70's had infected from general society, on top of having to withdraw from a poorly run war...sounds familiar. Those that stuck it out, who remained focused on the mission, were the ones who brought the military out of the doldrums which became the fearsome war machine of the 80's. Those signing up today, needs to know what they're doing and where they're going, the military can no longer be an adult baby-sitting service for the aimless and lost, they are easy pray for the social engineering-types. Plenty of forces at play looking to undermine and tear apart the uniformed services, stay focused and partner with likeminded colleagues. | |||

This BS first acquired a foothold and gathered momentum during the Clinton years and with the support of Democratic members of Congress. It was not limited to just the AF but the Navy and Navy as well. Civilian chains of command mirroring the military started to appear. All reminiscent of the Soviet political commissar system. The effort to "civilianize" the military continues under different rubrics. Remember post-Vietnam Democrats despised the military, even though it was LBJ, a Democratic President, who deepened US involvement in Vietnam and turned it into a nightmare. | |||

I’m looking forward to President Trump’s reelection. That’ll put a crimp on this idiotic degradation of our military forces. Serious about crackers | |||

Sadly it will take some time to reverse the damage both this and Zippy the Wonder Putz Butt Bandit purge of right thinking senior officers has wrought. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

And I thought the military was an organization that accepts people for the content of their character, without regard to color or who they like to fuck. Silly me. The Donald, if he wins re-election, will have plenty on his plate, but needs to make it a priority of his administration to root out and sack these people. The problem is who does he replace them with. The fish rots from the head down. | |||

It's true. My nephew graduated last year from West Point. White people have to keep their heads down and focus on the prize. They can't make waves. There are mostly good people in the military... but the leadership is completely rotten. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Has there been or continues to be racism in the military? Yes. But fighting racism with more racism via DEI or CRT isn't the answer. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

While racializing everything in the name of anti-racism, they will create more racism, particularly where it didn't exist before, on both sides of manufactured racial divides. It's actually their collective goal, to divide and conquer, take control, destroy everything that is good, and get rich doing it. Pure criminality and evil of mind, that's what it is. The people doing and supporting this are the same people who would raise their hands to a new hitler, turn in their neighbors, and throw their mothers and fathers into ovens. They've always been with us, but after years of indoctrination since childhood, there are millions of them instead of thousands. Those are exactly the people we're dealing with now, whether they know it or not, that's what they'll do. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

Doesn’t “cadet” cover any possible pronoun for the students? | |||

My congressman Matt Gaetz grilled the air force academy superintendent a few months ago over gender ideology. Dude stutters and stammers and can’t define it. It’s a good video. Google it for a good laugh. | |||

I just "retired" last year from a .gov contractor position working for and with USAF. I did for 21+ years, and saw the degradation that has occurred in officer and senior enlisted leadership over the years, more so in the last 10 -12 years. People being promoted and / or assigned more for their "looks" (race, gender, ideology, etc.) rather than Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs). There were some real "winners". And at least 2 of them went to the USAFA later in its administration, but not the ones mentioned in the article. My younger son is an officer in the Army; I have told him to be acutely aware of the leadership abilities in his chain of command. He has a general disdain for "ringknockers" (academy graduates), because most of them are haughty and arrogant, and not very good, in his observation. He was a Distinguished Military Graduate (DMG) himself and got a regular commission, rather than a reserve commission, so he's pretty sharp. I'm very proud of him. IMHO, DEI stands for Destruction, Evisceration, and Incompetence, because that seems to be the end result. CRT is Communist Radical Thinking. | |||

During my brief USAF career, I found that the most incompetent officers I met were USAFA grads. Not all of them, but quite a few. The best officers I worked with were bootstrap. And this was right after Vietnam. Sounds like things have even gotten worse now! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
