Hello STARRS Supporter!
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.

| | USAFA Board of Visitors Meeting | | |
Many STARRS people attended in-person or watched online Thursday's meeting of the USAFA Board of Visitors held at the Air Force Academy. USAFA removed the video of the meeting with the link that we sent out to everyone that morning, but we made a copy and it's on our website, Rumble and YouTube channels.
STARRS Chairman Lt Gen Rod Bishop, USAF ret, USAFA '74, was there at the meeting and wants to relay to all this message:
"What a wonderful week to be a supporter of STARRS! The August 2025 meeting of the USAFA BOV="progress on steroids." First, many thanks to all of you for your support! Without that support, our messages would not have been heard. Secondly, our sincere gratitude to the Board of Visitors. From Representative August Pfluger's opening comments about "resetting the BOV" and putting some teeth back into the Board, to Stoli's closing comments about "eradicating DEI," STARRS' influence was clear and present. Special thanks to BOV members Dan Clark and Charlie Kirk as well for their motivational and "on point" messaging. Below is a sampling of some of the feedback I have received. Again, sincere thanks for all of your support!
"Gen Bishop, (Dr Scott),
I saw most of the BOV meeting today flying back from Vegas. In one word. Congratulations!
All the seeds you have sewn in District 1 (Hunger Games reference for the Capital) for the last three years have taken root and along with choking out DEI in the military and the Academy, has grown a group of patriots on the BOV that just didn’t sit there in vertical scan and watch briefing, but are ready to help the Supe complete the job of returning meritocracy and the war fighter ethos to the Academy. And maybe get the chapel completed by 2027 instead of 2029.
Sit back and enjoy a Weller 12 year old whiskey and if inclined a good cigar. You did great!!"
The new Boards of Visitors of the military service academies are thankfully no longer "dog-and-pony shows". Here's our coverage:

Hegseth announces return of Confederate memorial to Arlington National Cemetery, removed by ‘woke lemmings’
"To call someone a "lemming" means they are someone who mindlessly follows the crowd, even to their own detriment, like running off a cliff. It implies a lack of independent thought and a tendency to conform to group behavior without considering the consequences."

What People Are Saying:
"Bay tossing" isn’t random cruelty. It is stress inoculation. Mattresses are flipped, gear is scattered, and order is collapsed on purpose. Why? Because war is chaos, and soldiers must restore order while under pressure. Trainees learn to stay calm, adapt quickly, and lead through disorder. That cannot be taught through calm lectures. It must be experienced. Ban this, and you risk sending troops into real danger with untested minds. That is not kindness. That is negligence. You do not make steel by cooling the forge."
“In the cauldron of stress fighters are created. Stress tempers the spirit and reveals / grants competency. It creates warriors that win, never quit, and understand the mission. Well done Sir.”
“Basic was difficult at the time, but when I look back on it with an older man’s perspective, I see the genius of it. I owe much of what I’ve achieved in my life to the severity and guidance of my Fort Benning drill sergeants. I’m a better man, husband, and father because of it.”
“If you train warriors like activists, don’t be shocked when they fold under fire. Basic Training isn’t a safe space. It’s where weakness gets burned off and warriors are forged. Start soft, finish dead. Kill the woke war machine.”
“This is superb. Shark attacks are a core method in developing a soldier’s combat readiness. Enlistees that do not posses the ability to remain collected under immense mental/emotional pressure are a liability to mission, team, and self."
