What Military People Are Saying
“I’ve been currently active duty US Army and have been for a long time. The change in the army in the last 4 years has been extreme, we have now weekly classes on LGBTQ, diversity, inclusive and all the rest. Theses classes are used over range time, so instead of firing our weapons and learning to be efficient, we have classes. As an officer I’m being forced to make our enlisted learn this instead of their jobs. No one can speak out as we get ostracized and even forced out. The real state of our ground forces are in a terrible way.”
“As a vet with multiple sons, I advised them to steer clear of the modern military.”
“Currently serving in the Army and have been for 16 years. I’ve seen changes that would make my veteran grandfather’s turn in their grave. None of these changes increase the ability to take the fight to the enemy. It saddens me knowing that the next conflict will result in unimaginable losses. Unfortunately, I believe it will take such a loss to realign our priorities.”
“82nd Airborne infantry veteran here and I’m so saddened to see what’s become of our military.”
“I serve currently and have 28 years this year. The military since 2020 has been spiraling out of control. People are moving to their camps and leaders force the DEI crap. This has divided the military that has not been like this in my experience. I will retire at my 30 year mark and can’t wait and am sad that the legacy I leave is total disarray.”
“I got out of the military after 6 years in June of 2020. I had planned on doing 20 years, but after covid hit and the forced covid vaccine and wokeism, I couldn’t get out fast enough.”
“I am retired USN, 20 years. I could have stayed longer than 20 but I had to go. I saw this crap coming 10 years ago. July 2013, at a command within the DMV, we had a meeting telling us a man was going to be legally allowed to use female spaces. This was 2 months AFTER the mandatory DoD-wide sexual harassment training. My comment was all that training was done for nothing if we are going to allowed women being harassed by this dude ‘because he feels like a woman.’ BS."
“I grew up in the 80’s. We grew up in a traditional Hispanic home. My father was a big Ronald Reagan fan. We were brought up to love America and love the Military. I was amazed of how incredible our country was. I joined the military and see it as one of the most proudest and enjoyable moments in my life. Now it makes me sad what the U.S., and military has turned into in the last 3 years.”
“I am a veteran who used to promote that my kids serve in the military. However, I’ve have since encouraged them to do other things. This new country I live in is no longer America. These new leaders do not represent me.”
"As someone completing their 2nd contract in the Army and getting out, this was well said. I noticed the change happening from the months before COVID-19 (when I enlisted) and the months to about a year and a half following Covid. The change started small but drastically increased. As I’m writing this I would say once Biden got in all of this gender, whatever crap you want to call it, it started to go really crazy. I’ll just leave you with one example. We’re in a foreign country, towards the beginning of the Russian/Ukraine conflict, and we get told to attend a mandatory class immediately. I’m thinking it’s war preparations or something important or even relevant. The class was about transgender/how to treat transgender people/ (biological men “changing to women”) and how that’s “normal”. We had females asking questions like oh, the “guy” can shower in the same bathroom as us if his DEERS is updated as a female? It was ridiculous, a waste of time, and honestly utterly embarrassing. I sincerely hope something changes because this is getting out of hand, and is a terrible look to not only our advisories but also other NATO allies. Something needs to change quick, fast, and in a hurry.”
