‘You Will Resign or We’ll Make this Ugly’: Idaho National Guardsman Punished for Biblical Values


What Military People Are Saying


“When my husband retired from the military, he couldn’t wait to get out. Plus he will not recommend it to anyone with personal drive and intelligence. After military leaders implemented the new military, pushed for diversity over ability, and wouldn’t make people accountable for their inactions my husband said he was done.”


“I feel like I left the military at exactly the right time. My last All Hands I attended in 2016 was about how to change your gender in DEERS. Glad I didn't hang around after that.”


“I would advise not joining. I did thirty years. Retiring this year. It has changed so much. Not worth it in my opinion. Dozens of reasons: chiefly, the politics racial and gender. There is (IMO illegal) trans policy requiring one to allow men to berth and shower with women. The racial politics have morphed into a focus on equity rather than equality. Furthermore, we don’t fight wars to win anymore. It is depressing to lose and more or less that is all we do anymore: police actions and losses. The bureaucracy and paperwork is stifling, many members are obese and suffer no consequences. Yes-Men get promoted and those that speak up about improper policies get sidelined. I could go on and on, but your talents would be better applied in many other fields I am sure.”


“Active duty here and I hate how DEI is being shoehorned into our warfighting doctrine. We should take after Colonel Chester Phillips who said: "General Patton has said that wars are fought with weapons but are won by men. We are going to win this war because we have the best men." Meanwhile there's a tranny working just a few rooms away from me. SMH.”


“As a member of the U.S. Navy this is embarrassing. It’s all very simple. Recruiting is down because they target the demographics that don’t want to join, and they alienate the demographics that do want to join. Would be simple to reverse if not for how brainwashed a segment of the population is.”
