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 mandate issue pertaining to service members. Our purpose is education and awareness for an informed citizenry.

This was another momentous week! The President issued three great Executive Orders directly for the Department of Defense regarding removing DEI, return to merit and C19 vax mandate remedies. It's quite amazing to see what all of us have long been advocating for suddenly come true. The next step is to work to codify these into legislation and a coalition of leaders from STARRS, MacArthur Society and Calvert Task Group are heading to Capitol Hill this coming week to start that process.


It is interesting that after years of STARRS warning about the problems with DEI and being dismissed for it by some of our peers, and the legacy media/DC swamp continually saying wokeness was not an issue in the military, that one of the main things the President has focused on is getting rid of DEI in the government. And the FIRST thing the new SECDEF did was order DEI out of the military. Perhaps STARRS was actually on to something all this time?


The stunning speed of the removal of the divisive DEI agenda in the government and the depth of relief and happiness by Americans that DEI is getting the boot must shock those that promoted the agenda. DACODAI (Sec. Austin's senior DEI Advisory Committee) and others can't say that STARRS didn't try to warn them!


STARRS Chairman LtGen Rod Bishop says he's already heard from a number of USAFA cadets who are "ecstatic" about the removal of the DEI regime in the military. A former cadet he sponsored said, "Happiest Day in my 10 year Air Force career! Spirit in my unit is soaring!"
