Commentary: Save America’s Military

A stunning, if absurd, indicator of the depths to which the Biden administration is taking the U.S. military was lit up on September 8th by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas. The Army veteran and senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee wrote Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin a letter dripping with well-deserved ridicule over a “recent decision to incorporate ‘gender neutral’ language into decoration and award citations.”
The Senator expressed incredulity that, “Our military apparently will now use ‘themself’ – which is not even a word, I hasten to add – instead of “himself” or “herself” to describe heroic or distinguished actions.” He went on to lambaste the Defense Secretary:
The Department’s embrace of far-left gender ideology doesn’t merely subvert the English language in ways that would astonish George Orwell. Worse, it exemplifies a Pentagon leadership consumed by the fads of the faculty lounge at a time when the Army can’t hit its recruiting goals, the Navy can’t keep ships out of dry dock, and the Air Force can’t find spare parts for planes.
Unfortunately, what might be chalked up to the academy’s leftist foolishness is actually a symptom of something far more ominous – and very far advanced: a cultural Marxist take-down of America’s armed forces. Just how much the “fundamental transformation” of the uniformed services has metastasized was the subject of a chilling webinar conducted on September 8th by our Committee on the Present Danger: China.
