The joint chiefs of woke

 Stephen Kruiser:

Welcome to Joe Freakin’ Biden’s America, boys and girls.

This trend towards woke sentiments among the higher ranks of the military is disturbing for any number of reasons. Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance brilliantly illustrated a couple of them in a brief Twitter thread on Friday. Vance — a Marine and Iraq War veteran — took Gen. Milley to task, questioning the general’s priorities and reading habits:

Ouch.

Vance’s follow-up to that said, “What I find so enraging about the Joint Chiefs’s pandering on progressive wokeness is that they know damn well the geography and politics of who dies in American wars. The conservative Americans you trash are disproportionately bleeding for this country.”

Predictably, the lefty Twitter mob crawled out from under their domineering mommies’ skirts and blasted Vance for daring to question psychotic leftist orthodoxy. I won’t highlight any of the responses here because I trust that we are all already well aware of the cesspool-spawned nature of these people.

Several of the people lambasting Vance claim to be active duty and willing to march in the Shame Parade. I immediately headed for a grain of salt when I read those comments. I may not know as many active duty people as I used to but I’m still in touch with a few. And I know a lot of fairly recently retired military folk. None of them are on board with the woke brass. In fact, most are horrified by what’s happening.

Gen. Milley’s assertion that reading Marx does not make one a Marxist is very true. However, believing that a Marxist philosophy like CRT informs one about reality does. It means that you’ve bought into the insanity. Again, if General Milley were Professor Milley this would be a real yawner.

...

What Gen Milley calls "white rage" was a political demonstration of people who are unhappy about Biden's election.  That is their right and they do not need any psychological analysis for their political position.  Some may have gotten out of hand and acted like Antifa and BLM who have been largely excused for their looting, plunder, and arson attacks that resulted in much more damage and many deaths actually attributable to their attacks. 

I do not think Milley or the Admiral questioned about CRT won any converts to this screwy racist garbage.  Instead, they come across as an embarrassment to many Americans.  I am not criticizing them for reading the CRT material.  I am criticizing them for thinking this garbage has a point or will help them be better leaders.
