Woke policies have consequences
“I just retired. Too much focus on wokeness and social justice not enough focus on preparing for war. No longer are the best and brightest promoted but now it’s who meets the diversity and equity block most of which are incompetent. Good luck if you try but I would look at trade schools for a career first.”
“As a retired Navy Captain, having served 37 years in a U.S. Navy which was not at all similar to this nonsensical charade imitating our U.S. Military, I will first say how relieved I am having retired before all of this came about. Yet, I am very concerned as to what our military has become, and fearful for all of us as to whom we now have as defenders of our nation and supposedly protecting our country’s allies (whom appear to be slinking away one-by-one). I would not, will not, cannot propose military service as an option for young people today. It is sad and certainly makes me wonder where these so-called senior officers now in positions to lead our military services… where in the heck they came from. I never would have realized such ilk wore the uniform of a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine. These folks must’ve been hiding in the ranks until signaled to step forward, and evidently, they did indeed saunter forth and are now in charge. God, help us.”
“I am a retired military officer. At one time, I recommended military service for the young folks I thought were worthy of the title of “soldier”. Now, I discourage all young folks from even thinking about joining the WOKE military. The military is no longer an organization that deserves the cream of our youth.”
“The last ten years or so have been extremely difficult and in command jobs things are even more difficult. DIE meetings are mandatory and making space and time for Muslim airmen to pray to Mecca became a priority. I’ve avoided alphabet morale 5K runs and I’ve gritted my teeth through diversity seminars. I plan to retire in March 2024 and I’m already counting the days.”
