Is The U.S. Military Woke?

Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration by Staff Sgt. Andrea Posey)  

Lawrence J. Korb and Stephen J. Cimbala, Military.com: Is the American Military Too 'Woke'? 

A theme that keeps dominating certain corners of media commentary is the idea that the U.S. armed forces have become “woke.” 

In today's vocabulary, this implies that the American military has been overtaken by ideological imperatives that push a far-left political agenda. 

 Allegedly, U.S. enlisted personnel and officers are being subjected to compulsory exercises in groupthink that devalue the American historical experience, spread contempt for traditional American values and diminish the appeal of military service in favor of other alternatives.

  2. - Drag shows on base
    - Transvestites as ambassadors to 'help' recruiting
    - Flying the rainbow flag. That is not toleration or acceptance. that is promotion.

    - Everything having to due with 'Climate change' and green energy

    - CRT & DEI

    Yes, it is woke.

  7. Woke as could be. Navy hiring drag queens as recruiters, USAF pushing pronounns and everything else, dumb ass female general saying she'll promote using racism and woke policies, Army just a disaster. No, it is not woke.

    Task Force Smith, Kasserine Pass, Pearl Harbor will be like kiddy playland com[pared to what'll happen to the US military with China AND Russia fighting us, Iran meddling in the gulf area, and Kim pushing into South Korea.

    It'll be a disaster of epic proportions for the US military.

  9. Look, we are living through 5th generational warfare, which includes cultural diffusion, confusion of language, inversion of meaning etc. Just explain this to your close ones.

  11. The US military is woke and will be proven to be a joke. Never mind it not being my grandfathers Army, it ain’t my army 20 years ago.

  12. I recognize my opinion is purely anecdotal but as a former infantryman with combat experience, here are my thoughts:

    Combat arms before the actual combat--and aside from the training--was extremely rough and full of hazing. Significant energy turned inwards at rooting out weakness in a way that may not be ideal, but is nevertheless effective in its own way. Anyone being special, unique, sensitive, or even demanding reasonable treatment or consideration for who they are as an individual could not fit in that system. When it was time for combat, I understand there had been some value of regrettable things like the hazing and terrible treatment we'd received.

    No one knows how a "woke" military will perform on the field of battle. It's never been tried. But I for one wouldn't want to be the first one to gamble on its effectiveness as a fighting force.

  15. These idiots have traded a highly efficient fighting force for a social experiment with. no idea how it will perform and without any historical precident.

    The military that saved us from th Nazis was great and had no blacks in combat units

    The army since then has performed well, not exceedingly well, but well.

    These clowns have disguarded that traditional model of an army for a social experiment

    Sorry, but this is not Wal mart, Ford motor company or Disney corperation.

    These idiots have no right to gamble with the safety of the republic for the sake of social convention.

    Bottom line these fags are going to lose big time in the next big conflict we get into. Fighting the Russians and Chinese will not be like fighting in Iraq.
