This Veterans Day, let’s listen to what our veterans say is wrong with our woke military

Military now values identity over competence as woke mandates chase veterans from service
Michael R. Pompeo  By Michael R. Pompeo | Fox News

Today on this Veterans Day, I pray that all Americans will set aside our differences to honor those men and women whose sacrifices have allowed us to live in freedom. 


Thirty years ago, I arrived at the United States Military Academy at West Point as a cadet with amazing young men and women from around the country. Throughout my time at West Point and then the U.S. Army, I served with people of every faith, race, social-economic class, and creed. They were literally from all walks of life in America, but they shared something in common: a love and respect for their country, and a willingness to risk sacrificing all they had to keep it safe.

One memory from my service, in particular, stands out clearly in my mind. I was a young second lieutenant, fresh off basic training, reporting to Germany for my first assignment. I was assigned to Bravo Troop, First Squadron, 7th Armored Cavalry Regiment. Despite having done well at West Point and having just gone through all the necessary training, it was safe to say I really didn’t know what I was doing. My sergeant, first class, a non-commissioned officer who had served for well over a decade, soon set me straight. After saluting me (I was, after all, the higher-ranking officer) he said:

"Lieutenant, you’ll do really well if you just shut up for a while."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

 :nothappen: Part of wokeness is smug, elitist thinking.  No one is as "intelligent" as a woke person, so they are free to ignore such suggestions. :thud:

We treat the military as just another social engineering experiment instead of a fighting force ready and able to conquer any foe.  We are more concerned about hurt feelings than we are American lives.
