Biden’s Woke Pentagon
Thanks to his appointees, the military is now “self before mission.”

The more we see of the generals and admirals President Biden has picked to run the Pentagon, the less confident we can be that they are fit for command. Under Biden’s direction, they are working hard to impose Critical Race Theory (CRT) politics on the military. If they succeed, they will have destroyed the unity of purpose and function that enables us to win wars.
The facts are pretty clear. Adm. Michael Gilday is the chief of naval operations, the highest-ranking officer in the Navy. Gilday has put a book by Ibram X. Kendi — a prominent CRT activist — on the recommended reading list for all sailors. The book, titled How to Be an Antiracist, argues, among other things, that it’s impossible for anyone to simply not be a racist.
Under Kendi’s theory, you’re either a racist or an anti-racist, and to qualify as an anti-racist you have to believe that society is inherently and systematically racist and that it is your duty to fight against the system. The book says, for example, that capitalism is racism. Which presumably means that socialism isn’t.
CRT maintains that racism is imbedded in every part of our culture and constitutional systems such as the legal system, education, and every other part of our society, which it condemns as systematically racist.
