“WAKE-UP, AMERICA!”

The first line of a  front page story in San Diego’s “newspaper” on 9/12/22 was … “. Sailors, their families and military retirees at one San Diego navy base found their church community left out in the cold as the Navy announced that it will cancel all Roman Catholic services.”

That story got me thinking of the slow exorable pushing of wokeness and the simultaneous dissing of religion in our military.

Much of what follows comes from an Imprimis piece by retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Thomas Spoehr: 

Back in 2015 then Secretary of the Navy, Ray Malbus, rejected a Marine Corps study concluding that gender-integrated combat formations did not move as quickly or shoot as accurately, and that women were twice as likely as men to suffer combat injuries.

That same year the Department of Defense opened all combat jobs in the U.S. military to women, and the Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, committed to “gender-neutral standards” … btw, eight years later, there is still not a “gender-neutral test,” because women do not score as high as men on the tests that have been suggested.

In 2015 at the end of his second term, President Obama initiated a change on the Pentagon’s policy on transgenders in the military. Before that change could take effect, President Trump put it on hold and then imposed reasonable restrictions on military service by those suffering from gender dysphoria. In January, 2021 only hours after he had been in office, President Biden signed an executive order that did away with any restrictions.

In recent years military fitness standards have been watered down in pursuit of “leveling the playing field.”

Last year the Navy released a training video to help sailors understand the proper way to use personal pronouns.

In 2021 the Biden administration’s Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Michael Gilday, decided to add Ibram X. Kendi’s book on critical race theory, to his list of recommended readings.

This summer multiple media outlets reported on training materials at West Point on the problems of “whiteness.” When asked about this, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, General Mark Miley became very defensive … “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white.”

Referring back to what the Navy is trying to do at churches on Navy bases, a few years back something similar was being considered at on base Navy churches, and President Trump emphatically basically said, … 

no way; not on my watch!

After carefully reading the above have you noticed a pattern?  Hmmm, it appears that the rise in wokefullness in the military has come under Democratic presidents. I am worried that if another Democrat is elected as President in 2024, in a few years our military fitness tests will be relegated to tiddlywinks and pin-the-tail-on -the-donkey!
