Military leaders in liberal fantasyland

 Steve McCann:

America’s top military leaders have thrust themselves into the national spotlight by their overt politization and cowardly acquiescence to the radicalized Democrat Party.  The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Milley, in Congressional testimony, defended the teaching and promotion of Marxist based Critical Race Theory throughout the military.  He also linked what he categorized as rampant “White Rage” to the 75+million supporters of President Trump.  The Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gilday, defended the Navy-wide dissemination of an anti-White virulently racist screed.

Further, the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, ordered a purge throughout the military of those he considers “extremists” (i.e., the supporters of President Trump) while tacitly agreeing with Joe Biden that the most lethal threat to America is domestic violent extremism, in other words, the untold millions of “White” people that supposedly advocate nearly non-existent “white supremacy”. 

Beyond the pandering to the radicalized Democrat party is the sheer folly of deliberately defaming and alienating an entire segment of the population.  One that currently accounts for nearly 60% of all active service members. As among the tenets of Critical Race Theory is the proposition that all White people are inherently and irredeemably racist.  Thus, they are predisposed to racial violence and domestic terrorism. 

The generals and admirals who cannot bring never-ending wars to a close, in their self-serving scramble up the ladder, have chosen to ignore the fact that the U.S. military is dependent on volunteers and that operational readiness is their primary mission.  What will they do when the enlistment and re-enlistment rates inevitably crater as they continue to force feed anti-American indoctrination on those in the active military?  What will they do when they are given a command to set upon or isolate American civilians under the pretext of domestic terrorism?  Or told to use their offices and advanced technology to surveil certain segments of society on behalf of “Big Brother”? 

Will they, as generals and admirals have done in the past, refuse to carry out unlawful and unconstitutional orders and resign?  Or will they, in order to protect their exalted positions, acquiesce to the demands of their masters in the hierarchy of the Democrat party?

...

The current overt politization and determination to ostracize and demonize over 60+ per cent of the population has also informed America’s enemies of the turmoil in the Pentagon and the indecisiveness in the White House as well as the potential inability of the United States to field a viable military force in the future.  In some ways these actions are tantamount to treasonously exposing the nation’s military secrets to the enemy.

...

I find the current officers on the Joint Chiefs deeply disturbing.  That they would fall for the CRT racist garbage makes me wonder about their cognitive abilities especially when working with a President with obvious cognitive disabilities.  One of the many fallacies of CRT is the redefinition of "white supremacy" into a broad category of people who reject CRT.  It is goofball logic that sees them labeling people of color as white supremacists if they reject CRT.  It is like they have fallen into a wonderland of their own making that is out of touch with the real world.

I have lost confidence in these military leaders and if they keep it up the troops will see the same problem.  They are also alienating the population that has been the backbone of the military for generations.
