In recent years, the U.S. military has abandoned billions of dollars' worth of arms in a frantic flight from Afghanistan, depleted the nation's stockpile of Javelins through transfers of the anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, and exacerbated manpower shortages through a draconian COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Yet, even amid erosion in readiness and U.S. global standing, the Biden Pentagon has remained fixated on woke evangelizing, squandering time and resources on equity training, LGBTQ education and racial bias classes for service members — even pushing such training on the children who attend schools run by DOD.
The mounting reports of woke inroads into military training and education have elicited increasingly vocal concerns from veterans.
After the Navy Times published a commentary piece asking veterans to help boost recruitment, the Military Times reported receiving "hundreds of emails" from vets saying they would refuse to get involved because of wokeness in the military.
>>"Their reasons varied, but most said wokeness is to blame," according to the story. "They accused the military of becoming so 'political,' or such a 'social experiment,' that even proud veterans wouldn’t recommend service.
>>"'I'll be blunt. I wouldn't encourage anyone to join today's armed forces and I discouraged both of my sons from considering serving,' wrote Peter Demas, who described himself as a third-generation veteran. 'America's military leaders have sold out the Services for their own advancement and reflect all the poorest qualities of civilian "leadership" from whom they accepted thirty pieces of silver; instead of being the nation's repository of integrity and moral courage, they have become more political than the political animals they grovel before.'"
