"How on Earth is it appropriate to spend our limited defense dollars on promoting these sexually themed events for children and adults rather than on advancing the military’s mission? Our nation’s military is being ruined by woke ideology."--Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch

What Military People Are Saying


“When I was commissioned into the Air Force in 1983, the mission statement was simple, "Fly, fight and win." Promotions were merit based. Then came McPeak who left the Air Force unrecognizable. When I retired in 2009 after several leadership changes, the mission statement was "Fly, fight and win in the air, space and cyberspace." Now, you have senior officers more interested in using the correct pronouns than being combat ready. I really hope the next administrations will revoke the commissions of those officers that are not combat ready and place more emphasis on using the correct pronouns.”


“I have a relative who WAS in the Navy until about 3 years ago. He was an fairly high level with 30+ years of very important logistics jobs he solely accomplished after being a pilot for 20 years. Sharp, assertive in his roles and extremely resourceful. About 4 years prior he told me about how he had to take a 'Critical Race' course that included him having (forced) to write a paper on how he was the problem and what he should do about it. He hated it, but knew not to complain. Simultaneously he was 'passed over' three times for re-commissioning. Seeing minorities and woman with massively less experience and skills get promoted past him. He reluctantly resigned his commission.”


“My Air Force vet family has taken down all pins/badges/old Air Force memorabilia. They're embarrassed to be associated with it anymore.”


"The AF Academy’s focus on “diversity”, which we all know is a euphemism for fewer whites, attacks all of the Air Force’s core values. Identity politics was bad enough when I graduated in 2003, and has only gotten worse. It’s our duty to be honest and fair without prejudice toward pigment or plumbing, and that goes 360 degrees. Race and sex essentialism is corroding USAFA and the DoD as a whole. It violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment as well as non discrimination of the 1964 civil rights act. It has no place in the service. The point of BCT is to create unity, which seems at odds with the new declaration of faith."


“Our son abruptly retired as an officer last year after 20 years of service. He had enjoyed being in the service and hoped to stay longer. He had never seen so much political pressure put on (relative to DEI) and couldn't stand it any longer. He went to work for the state government where he lives and it’s the SAME situation. So much more work could get done if the best qualified gets the job without racism or sexism being the tipping scale.”


FROM: 1600+ comments showing CRT/DEI agenda hurts recruitment, retention and moral: What Military People Are Saying


"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s evil plans. For our fight is not against human beings, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world. We are up against the unseen power that controls this world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. At all times, pray by the power of the Spirit." --Ephesians 6:12-18
