He thinks conservatives should build their own service academies, what do you think?
Also he including this in his article:
"A senior officer at West Point quietly approached me and asked if he could speak with me in confidence. After we walked off to the side, he outlined in detail how his alma mater was not only “going far left but eliminating or watering down one standard and tradition after the other.” With tears in his eyes, he begged me to get the word out. Since that time, it has only gotten worse.”

We (including YOU) are US military veterans and citizens concerned about the divisive racist and radical CRT/DEI ideology infiltrating the military and academies, and seek to stand up together and do something about it in order to keep our country safe.
We need your help to support our work and mission:

STAND TOGETHER Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services (STARRS) is an organization of retired military members and patriots dedicated to ensure the greatest fighting force on the globe remains the U.S. military. STARRS mission is to help educate our fellow Americans regarding the criticality of having a military that focuses solely on the essential readiness needed to fight and win our Nation’s wars. Winning requires a military which provides equal opportunity and a meritocracy leadership system which rewards high standards, ethical character, teamwork, and selfless service to our Nation. This mission accomplishment requires the elimination of DEI from the DoD by informing people about all ideologies, policies, agendas, and organizations that threaten a meritocracy based military. | | | | |
