Dan Crenshaw: Troops at Fort Bliss Forced to Wear IDs with Race and Social Class During Diversity Training

Kristina Wong 2 Jul 2021

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) this week revealed several instances where service members were forced to classify themselves by race and socio-economic status during diversity and inclusion training.

In one instance, Crenshaw said soldiers were forced to wear personal identification badges that listed their race, ethnicity, social class, and other things, during at training at Fort Bliss in Texas.

Crenshaw said the badges reduced soldiers to a list of characteristics that have “nothing to do with their service or their training or the content of their character.” He added:

Most soldiers do not believe that they are the sum of identity groups and it’s absurd that our military is instructing people to view themselves and others that way. In the SEAL teams, our bond is forged in large part by our common history, our ethos and our trial by fire training. We never asked each other for our social class or other identity groups, because that would be ridiculous.

The only thing that should be on a soldier’s uniform is their name, their rank and most importantly, the American flag. Yes, we are all individuals and we’re all different. The military requires us to put aside those differences and focus on one mission as one team, not highlight differences, this type of woke training doesn’t help strengthen a unit and weakens it severely and it must stop.

Crenshaw revealed the instance in a video posted to his Instagram account:

The military is deteriorating faster and faster. It was such a sacred part of our society only a short while ago. That's all but gone now.

What social class? I thought in the military, everyone of the same military rank was equal. They leave personal identity and "social class" behind when they hit boot camp, don't they?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
The color is green, issue green, unless they're navy. The only group anyone there should be 'identifying' with is by Service, unit, rank, and MOS. The rest of that shit doesn't matter.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

WTF?

Back in the Stone Ages,when *I* was in the army,the idea was to make everyone think they were all a part of the same system,like a huge OD family.

Now they are insisting trainees become individuals??????

Yeah,THAT's going to work real well when there are people dying in combat to need help,and nobody comes because "you ain't one of US!"

@Wingnut7


Yes.

It seems to now primarily be a method for illegal aliens to gain citizenship,and get all their relatives on the payroll while doing it.

Frankly,I am surprised that speaking Spanish is not mandatory for anyone teaching basic training or any of the other service schools.

They're hoping the soldiers disgusted by the "woke" military will get out as soon as they can, to be replaced with compliant, brain dead drones.

"There is no 'I' in TEAM" cannot be understood by folks who have never actually been a member of a TEAM.

Milley is a disgrace. Offer him a job on the Board of Directors somewhere so we can be rid of him and he can get what he wants.

@roamer_1

You clearly don't know anything about career soldiers,or you would have never posted such nonsense.

There is nothing in this world more bull-headed than a senior NCO in the US Army that is told to do something that he KNOWS is wrong,dangerous,or just plain stupid.

It is his or her DUTY to Gawd (if they believe),country,and the soldiers under them to ALWAYS do what is right,regardless of the consequences,and woe be it to ANY SOB that tries to swerve them from the path they see as right and it is their duty to follow.

I have PERSONALLY seen a Group SGM lock the heels of a Major and speak to him like he was a slow-witted and disobedient child,and offer to have him sent off to a straight leg unit in Alaska that counts mess gear for a living by the end of the day if he EVER gave orders to anyone in his command that countered HIS orders again without consulting with him first.

Their MAY be bigger "Bozo No-No's" in the US Army than that,but I have no freaking idea what they may be.

By the time he was through,that Major was trembling with fear and I thought he might be going to wet himself.

It was truly a thing of beauty to watch.

NOBODY in the US Army that doesn't wear stars messes with a Command SGM,and even they have to be careful because chances are,he is friends with/has saved the life of a General Officer higher than he is in a previous war.

Duty,Honor,Country may be jokes to some people,but ridicule them to a career NCO in an infantry unit,and you will learn a hard and maybe even painful lesson.

People like that are why I made the army a career. They are BELIEVERS in right and wrong,and doing their duty/what is right regardless of the personal consequences.

I tip my beret in salute to ALL of you hard-nosed SOB's out there,regardless of what unit you are serving in. You not only make the continued existence of America as a free country possible,but you are selfless in the performance of your duty.

Good on you,one and all!

@sneakypete

Yep. My entire experience with the military was several early tests to include special testing, a signed contract and an oath, and a bus ride to Butte, where I was found to be 4f and cancelled.

Just as well. But kinda a bitch, as I did take the oath, and I have lived by it, like every other oath I have made.

Since then, tales from my father and uncle wrt their time served, and the two SF gents that taught me dang near all I know in the bush. And several Nam era vets I know up in the bush, to include my nearest neighbor up in the holler.
Them that I know are as you say.

But there they are wearing bracelets down there.
None for me, thanks.

@roamer-1

Same here. I took an oath to defend the US and the US Constitution when I was 17 years old,and to this very day no one has released me from the obligation I accepted when I took that oath.

Nor will I allow anything but death to release me from that oath. If that sounds corny or stupid to some of you,I can live with your ridicule. What I can't live with is violating my oath.

@sneakypete
No ridicule from me... That's how oaths work around here too. I said it, I'll keep it... As best as I can... My marriage was such an oath that failed - But not by me. I would have kept that oath and lived with that awful woman till I died. Still would for the sake of the oath.

So yeah, I get it. I am the same way. I keep my word. It is the only thing I have.

My bad - Should have said 'badges', referring to the OP. I misremembered.
The point being that for all them folks you stood up as not moving if it ain't right, STILL they are doing it down there. Folks are wearing those damn badges.
