Kurt Schlichter: The Military Is Shifting Its Emphasis from Fighting Wars to Fighting Intolerance. This Will Get People Killed, and Leave America Defenseless.

By all means, let's keep surrendering to leftwing demands that we change the culture year-by-year to resemble that of the Khmer Rouge.

While all the while, Conservative, Inc. swears to us that this is just the normal give-and-take in a democracy, and that we shouldn't be all hotheaded (like that criminal Rush Limbaugh) about rejecting these demands outright.

We must always make a Reasonable Counteroffer. That's the gentlemanly thing to do. Like making sure there's plenty of Sunny D in the fridge for your bull when he comes to service your wife.

It gives me no pleasure to say that I no longer recommend that young people join the military, and I'm not alone. The non-Blue Falcon veteran community is in full revolt against the conscious decision to decline embraced by our current military leadership. After failing to win a war in the last 20 years pp and don't say Syria, because the second President * woke up in the Oval Office wondering how he got there, more of our troops were heading back into the hellscape for reasons no one has bothered to articulate -- the military has decided to target an easier enemy, i.e., other Americans.

...
So, count us out from complicity with the degeneration of our proud institution into a giant gender studies struggle session. And that's a big deal. Do you know where the military gets a huge chunk on its recruits? Legacies. These are young troops who want to be like their father or grandfather or big brother or neighbor or other role model. I was the third-generation commissioned officer in my family, on both sides. Guess what? Right now, if one of my kids goes in, it's against my advice. And again, I am not alone. I hear this over and over and over from other vets. And it makes me furious.
Congratulations, Pentagon. This is all on you.
...
And now, though we have not won a war in two decades, our military has plenty of time to stop training and focus on purging the ranks of people who like the politicians the current administration opposes. I eagerly await the introduction to the new 69D MOS - political officer. A zampolit for every battalion -- hell, why not every company?

...
No, I do not recommend anyone subject themselves to this sort of four-year camo sociology seminar in which they must "pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy" or any other branch. My intersectional identity is "America," and I am utterly uninterested in any other identity.

Kurt's latest book is Crisis, book five in his Kelly Turnball post-America chronicles.

Say, remember when people thought that was dystopian sci-fi? Good days, good days.

Below, our armed forces -- or let us say, our armed social workers -- discuss fighting for the only remaining American value: "inclusiveness."

Diversity and inclusion are crucial to our force and our mission. Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, AMC commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Brian Kruzelnick, AMC command chief, talked about the Air Force Racial Disparity Report and AMC's actions to improve the culture of inclusion. pic.twitter.com/UE7tdV4tRs

101 My kids will not join the military. Anyone who asks, I will strongly advise to not join.

When I enlisted in 1994 there was no organization that was more inclusive, more equal than the military. The Air Force took a black kid from the bronx, a white kid from the chicago suburbs, a black sergeant from south MS, and a hispanic kid from TX, handed us a box of wrenches and challenged us to launch as many airplanes on time in a row as we could. 127. Set a record, went an entire deployment without a late takeoff. We had nothing in common except the uniform, and came together as a team. If you met someone in uniform, there was instant brotherhood, a common bond. This intersectionality, critical race theory has rotted the military to the core. Now blacks are told the whites have privilege over them, whites are told they, or other white soldiers hate blacks, and must be corrected. The common bond is broken, the trust is broken, the team is broken. The military I joined in 1994 does not exist.

China won't need to invade. They've already bought every politician here, and a bunch of property besides. An invasion runs the risk of actually waking us up to them as a threat. And it might interrupt us from buying their junk. If they ever do invade, it will be more like when the West invaded China during the Boxer rebellion, to force them to keep buying the West's crap. Ironic, eh?

Stalin did purge his military, in 1938. That, and the sorry performance in the Winter War vs the finns led to an attempt at reorganization that was in progress at the Nazi invasion in 1941.

Fighting China's proxies. Still about the same thing. Biden sends fodder over to Iran or Syria, China sends them all the weapons they need, wipe out the troops, US sends more, lather, rinse repeat. Can't be dirtying up China's front porch. And the whole time Lil' Kim will probably be lobbing missiles over Japan and Taiwan just to keep the media busy elsewhere.

Obama gave them (Hady Amr's team) control of the schools. Everyone should be organizing locally to kill Common Core and bring back the old textbooks from 10+ years ago.

Plus, Trudeau in Canada would be more than happy to "host" a few army corps for China. They just have to move south. Again, who's going to stop them? Biden?

No, it wouldn't be too hard for China to invade. Would they get far? Likely so. The only resistance would be the citizenry and whatever armed forces deserted Joe Biden and kept their oath.

278 Given that many here have spawn in the service, I refrain from saying what Schlichter is saying, and did so long before now. There are at least two major groupings of reasons to not put oneself in harm's way, and the first one was operative before the vile cretinous vegetable was in the WH and whatever pathetic Obama-era retreads are vandalizing the DOD.

And that has to do with exactly the sort of crap Kurt spouts here, which of course is simply now mindlessly repeated by many - about "not winning a war in 20 years". Which reflected a mentality already in action as long ago as 2006, with the hysteria and panic and manipulation by the MSM that these same people otherwise (rightly) demonize and ignore on every other topic.

Meh. Not gonna bother about the bumper-sticker Code Pink-ish stuff this comment will generate. Obviously we're way beyond where it matters.

The 2nd group of reasons is all about this idiotic "tolerance" crap, which of course is not entirely new. All that debunks and discredits itself.

285 At the risk of pointing out the obvious, diversity, in and of itself, is not a military strength, it is a weakness. Homogeneity is a strength, which is why other world powers have always kept dissimilar troops or troops from different regions separated. Inclusion is a made up PC word for imposing diversity.

This reminds me of when the phrase "diversity is the goal of education" and other such phrases wormed their way into our national memories.

When the PC term being discussed - here diversity, and inclusion, but also climate change and others of that nature - are being bandied about as the answer to multiple problems, the entire analysis is almost certainly wrong.

The effect of _____ (pick one of the examples above or insert your own) on _____ (insert protected class here) is nearly always a tell for intersectional nonsense.

They're not stupid enough to invade America, anyway. Penis-waving via military adventurism is a thoroughly European tradition--China knows through extensive experience exactly how much land it can govern before falling to civil war and has generally been content to stick with that. Their end goal is regional supremacy and a destabilized, impotent USA that won't interfere.

E.g. investigate Cy Vance's taxes if he derives any income from somewhere like Florida or even passed through. Ditto for the Supreme Court justices and Biden. Pass laws like California allowing red states to use that convenient Robert's court precedent to go through all of their taxes and their spouses, ditto for Pelosi and Schumer.

The independent counsel law went away after Clinton and his prominent Dems got a taste of it. The answer to lawfare is lawfare directed toward the enemies of the Right. It is not about optimum economic investment anymore but ensuring tit for tat on any lawfare investigations. They will lose the taste for it once it it turned on them.

Then go back to doing your job like you've always done. Maybe self censor a little more because the "we're going to be offended about something" brigade will be out in force for the foreseeable future (Avoid as much as possible, trust me it's easy to identify them).
