How 'Social Justice' is Killing the Military

 Brent Ramsey and Michael D. Pefley  . . ."The least racist people in America are in our military. It is obvious to all who have served, because one’s identity or race is irrelevant when people are trying to kill you and your teammates. No one cares about race when bullets are whizzing past your head.   

"So why has President Biden declared white supremacy as America’s number one threat?  Why has the secretary of Defense created a Counter Extremism Working Group to uncover extremism in the ranks? ". . .


. . ."The Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff defended the CRT program and testified to Congress that he wanted to understand “white rage.”  The United States Military Academy has been teaching CRT along with white rage seminars as reimagined Shakespeare.  Ta-Nehisi Coats spent two days at West Point in 2018 speaking about race. Coats’ toxic views published in the Atlantic in 2014 hold that all whites are racist and calls for trillions in reparations for all blacks.  According to a spokesman of Congressman Crenshaw’s office, more than 500 whistleblower complaints have been submitted about conditions in the services.  If 500 have already come forward, how many thousands have been intimidated into silence?  One scared officer reported anonymously to STARRS that he was threatened with “firing” if he even talked to STARRS.  Why is the military denying his First Amendment rights?

What is Indoctrination Doing to our Armed Services? 

"Military members are voting with their feet.  Three West Point cadets recently left the academy because of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, increasing and troubling wokeness, and promotion of leftist ideas.  The Army and Navy are now offering $50,000 bonuses for joining in select fields, which is a sign of low recruitment.  Is this the Great Reset of the U.S. military?  China and Russia are openly laughing at us and accelerating their imperialistic plans.

"STARRS was formed to protect the U.S. military and our Republic from racism and radicalism. We never thought that the phrase in our oath about protecting against domestic enemies would reference this “woke” threat to our country and our way of life.  We shouldn’t reimagine our combat warriors into social justice warriors.  That is the definition of insanity."

Capt. Brent Ramsey, USN (Ret) is STARRS Director at Large and Col. Michael D. Pefley, USAF (Ret) is VP of Communications for STARRS
