Warfighting • Lethality • Meritocracy • Accountability • Readiness

 

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.

They don’t want Hegseth out at DOD because he’s failing, but because he’s succeeding.

By Charlie Kirk back in April

"Best military speech of my lifetime! Air Force for 42 years (20 enlisted/22 civilian) and he addressed every shortcoming I have seen throughout my career. It made me want to reenlist. God bless the War Department and God Bless America."

VMI’s Missed Response to a National Tragedy Regarding Charlie Kirk

"I’ve been a Soldier for a long time, and this is the clear-eyed, morally certain, aggressive, and supportive leadership we need. These are the right decisions, made by fearless leaders, that will breed fearless leaders and warriors. It is hard to describe how motivating this is for those of us in the US Armed Forces, and I’m excited for our future. Maybe I won’t be getting out as soon as I thought." – LTC, US Army


"As a retired female US Navy CWO2, I TOTALLY AGREE with EVERYTHING our Secretary of War said. Way to go, Mr. Secretary! FINALLY!"

Marine Corps Training—Involuntarily Celibate Men Could Be ‘Insider Threats’ Against Military

By Victoria Manning

"My son is in the US Navy – his entire station was absolutely ablaze with excitement after Hegseth’s speech….. my son hadn’t been able to watch it before calling me, and his first words were “Dad, was his speech as badass as what I am hearing?” I told him, “Even better – this is the type of speech that you must watch, not merely listen to or read. No teleprompter – no notes – only sincere conviction spoken without a single um or uh – the type of speech one can give only if they truly believe every singe word as though it was engraved on one’s soul.”

The Army’s 2024 Extremism Policy Can Be Used Today

By Major Chase Spears, PhD, USA ret 

"I’ve worked in the DoW now for over 45 yrs both as an active duty airman and civilian and I have seen the decline of our readiness for the sake of a woke agenda. I was disgusted to see the special months set aside for various groups or causes. And the decline of physical fitness standards, fat bearded military is deplorable. He is right when he said standards should not be changed to favor a group of people. I applaud his return of fitness standards and letting leaders lead. From the NCO’s to commanders they should be the example for subordinates to follow. Keep up the great work!"

By Elaine Donnelly President,

"I have been waiting my entire adult life to hear a speech like that from the Secretary of War. I had almost given up. I hope we have enough time to repair all the damage to our military forces."


"As a veteran, I love this. We have all seen the weakening of the military over the decades. This is long overdue."


"As a proud female veteran I cheered when Hegseth reinstated the standards for physical fitness and appearance."

What Military Accountability for COVID Looks Like

By Major Chase Spears, PhD, USA ret 

"As a former Army officer I agree 1,000% with these changes – back to the core mission of our military. I watched in disgust as the standards were watered down to accommodate the LEAST fit for war-fighting. Finally, after 16 years I had to leave. Our military is NOT a “social experiment”!!!!!"
