Warfighting • Lethality • Meritocracy • Accountability • Readiness

Hello STARRS,

Since July 2020, STARRS has tracked, monitored and exposed the Marxist CRT/DEI woke agenda in the US military and our nation's service academies in order to show the danger of this ideology and how it negatively affects recruitment, retention, morale and readiness. We also worked on the C19 vax mandate issue pertaining to service members. Our purpose is education and awareness for an informed citizenry. Now we are tracking the fight to eliminate the divisive CRT/DEI ideology from the military and a return to merit and common sense.
