‘Transsexualism’ is Rising Wildly in the Military, According to Seven Years of Public Health Data

“The liberal cabal in Washington has bought into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ideology, having not done a modicum of research of what its roots. It’s Marxist. It’s meant to disrupt, and disrupting is exactly what it’s doing—all to the detriment of military readiness.”—LTG Rod Bishop, USAF ret, STARRS Chairman interviewed in the article

A prescient letter from 1973:

. . . "In ‘72 or ‘73, a new Army bureaucracy, began to arise. New positions and offices were created to educate us all about racial issues and differences.


Every officer and NCO in the division was required to attend classes on race relations.


It was my observation at the time that after attending these classes, soldiers returned to their units with increasingly divided and hostile views about race.


When I personally complied with the mandatory attendance requirement, my observations of the class confirmed that the approach, intended or not, did nothing to create racial harmony but, in fact, had the opposite effect.


The classes affirmatively created divisiveness with units, which was potentially destructive to military readiness and performance....


....I happened to run across a copy of a letter that my friend Peter wrote in 1973 to our division commander, Major General Fulton, about the destructive race relations classes we were being required to attend.


Although in 1973 no one had heard of “DEI,” race relations classes then foreshadowed what is happening to our military today.


Upon reading Peter’s letter, I was immediately struck by how applicable his concerns and recommendations are to today’s military, even though he wrote it over 50 years ago."


2 November 1973


SUBJECT: Race Relations Instruction


Dear General William B. Fulton,


1. I am highly concerned about the approach that the Army’s Race Relations Program has displayed in attempts in furthering better human relations. I have just attended a mandatory race relations class and feel the entire attitude needs rejuvenated and the emphasis is placed on the wrong subjects. The approach is not conducive to a closer bond, but stresses awareness on how everyone is supposed to be different and be understood differently by race, rather than as individuals and soldiers.....
