Woke Policies Have Consequences
"As a retired USAF Colonel, fighter pilot of 28 years service, I would not serve in today’s modern WOKE Military / USAF if I was 22 again. When the BEST are not being promoted today as in the past, but by color (BLM) and the use of the GLBTQ agenda. All the CRT, DEI curriculum that is being taught is merely destroying the military. It is not my Great Country / Military that I served and defended in war and peace times. Bottom line is: I would not have anything to do with today’s WOKE military. Then we ask why young men and women do not want to serve today. I think the answers are both simple and easy to see and understand as why….period."
“As a Mother of 22 year olds……it’s the wokeness. Many young men I know joined in 2019 and 2020 and will get out ASAP due to the BS they’ve had to endure.”
"My brother, career military, is trying to hang on until he retires. He doesn't want to blow his pension by leaving early. He's got a few years left. However, he's disgusted by how the military caters to woke these days. He keeps his mouth shut and does his job, but he's not proud of what the military has become. I don't have to prompt him to bring up how disgusted he is. I try to avoid talking about politics and the military, so the fact that he brings it up without me promoting is a clue that something radically different is going on. Leadership matters and we are being presented with crazy and being told it's the rational, adult choice. I'm not going to be encouraging my teen son to join the armed forces. I just can't do it with a straight face. In the past, that wouldn't be an issue. Culture matters and the military has gone nutters."
