STARRS Chairman of the Board LTG Rod Bishop, USAF ret, is a member of the National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness panel that just issued its new report. Read below or read the PDF.–
Data collected by the panel indicates a growing politicization of the military, where politicization is defined as the imposition of policies, programs, and messaging designed for political, not military, reasons.
~
Politicization of the U.S. military risks dividing groups into factions while detracting time, resources, and focus on the priority mission: to prepare and train the force to fight and win in combat.
~
Politicization can lead to a decline in both American public trust in the military—which, in turn, negatively impacts recruiting efforts—and the military’s readiness to fight and win wars.
~
The panel concluded that the human elements of training, discipline, cohesion, confidence, and morale critical to fighting and winning in war are under severe duress due to a prioritization of a political agenda that distracts from the warfighting mission and diminishes trust in military leadership.
