Is the Woke U.S. Military Going the Way of 1940’s France?
America has become what France was in 1940, a paper tiger run by an impenetrable bureaucracy that lacks any strategy for decisively defeating the nation’s external enemies.
by John Rossomando
America’s woke military of 2021 has echoes of the heavily politicized French military that was routed by the Nazi Germans in 1940.
My grandmother and her family lived in the Vosges Mountains within 100 miles of the German border. Her father fought in the French Army in World War I. They lived through the German invasion and subsequent four years of occupation.
She told me about seeing French soldiers running as fast as they could to escape the German invaders, half of which had no shoes. The Luftwaffe bombed her home, Nazi soldiers paraded through her town, and a German soldier assaulted her with a rifle to her back.
