Hello STARRS,


Here's our weekly update on news and topics STARRS tracks, monitors and shines a spotlight on in order to expose the Marxist CRT/DEI woke agenda in the US military and our nation's service academies to show the danger of this ideology and how it negatively affects morale, readiness, recruitment and retention. Also the vax issue pertaining to service members. Our purpose is education and awareness for an informed citizenry.


As you can tell from the media, Capitol Hill and some of the articles below, we can't let our guard down and think everything is fine now. We have to continually be even more alert as the the Left/swamp doubles down, gaslights and attempts to thwart the will of the American people. The fight isn't over.

Was going to collect and post on this newsletter a few comments people made on this X post by a retired Army Colonel, but there were so many of them and they were so revealing that it turned into a whole post on the website:

The rot in the Army culture is far worse than imagined

Here's just a few. Read them all


"An O-6 who works in the DC area tells me they’re all terrified of some E-4 just feeling mean one day and ending their careers with a false accusation."


"I imagine command is now less about leadership than it is about trying not to step on any DEI landmines."


"I work in a position where I encounter many of the O-5s and E-9s in that group. An alarming amount of them seem low-key dreading facing the “weaponized investigation” culture that is currently pervasive."


"It’s on par with the Soviet and PRC commanders having a political officer in their command."


"The promotion system has become decisively less meritocratic degrading the meaning and status of command but most of all the nature of command has changed. A lot more time is spent managing the vast amount of social-experiment driven admin tasks."


"My 2 CG O-3 sons are separating soon; they have no desire to become what they see above them."


"Will likely come out on the next CSL but have already decided to decline. After Covid, AFG withdrawal, weak senior leaders, etc my faith in the institution is rock bottom."


"FemiCommies & social justice. Too dangerous, not worth it."


"I’m aware of several dedicated career leaders, 05/06 that ultimately chose the command of self and family, would have to change personal (and traditional) principals to continue; bend the knee to the political-DEI patronage system."


"Good commanders who hold people to a standard end up under investigation."


"This cancer has spread through every command level on the active duty side as well as the GS system that’s supporting the warfighters. A white male either bends the knee and walks on egg shells or accepts the end of their career. Leader’s decision are guided by fear of the system instead of truth and integrity."


"That's why my nephew (O-3) bugged out. He realized as a white male he could not make a career in the military."

Stay strong and and have a Merry Christmas!

E Pluribus Unum – Unity is America’s Strength

Wake Up, Stand Up, Speak Up and Never Give Up!

We are US military veterans and citizens concerned about the divisive racist and radical CRT/DEI ideology infiltrating the military and seek to expose, stand up against, and eliminate it in order to keep our country safe.

 

WHAT STARRS DOES:


  • We STAND against the CRT/DEI/Woke agenda in the military & service academies
  • We educate on the dangers of this racist and radical ideology in the military
  • We monitor and call out the CRT/DEI/Woke agenda in the DoD through our website & social media
  • We seek the truth of what is happening in the military through FOIAs
  • We hold accountable the Academies and Services when they push this radical agenda
  • We oppose military DEI with lawsuits/admin complaints to obtain DoD compliance with laws
  • We write articles and policy papers alerting people to this harmful agenda
  • We work with Congress and Panels to provide knowledge and ideas to combat the problem
  • We help like-minded organizations and media to get out the truth
  • We provide a network and listening ear to cadets, service members, veterans and families who are sick of this ideology being forced on them and worried about the future of our country. If you feel this way too, know that you are not alone!
