Navy SEALs accused of going WOKE after Pride Month post sparks backlash
06/05/2024 // Laura Harris // 
 

The Navy SEALs have been accused of "going woke" and betraying their former members after a Facebook post celebrating the start of Pride Month appeared on the official page of the Naval Special Warfare Command.
The post, which also appeared on the U.S. Navy SEALs and SWCC pages, highlighted the watchwords "dignity, service, respect, equality, pride" in rainbow-colored letters emblazoned with the command's badge of an eagle gripping a rifle and a trident. The special warfare account took steps to restrict the comments, but the post immediately drew a wave of hostile reactions from netizens.

"This woke s--- is like a cancer and needs to be handled and dealt with as a threat to national security," wrote one. '"Gone way too far."

Moreover, Chaya Raichik of the popular "Libs of TikTok" page on X, formerly Twitter, shared on June 1, with a caption that read: "The Navy SEALs have gone woke. Our elite special forces. This is terrifying." This, in turn, ignited more rage in the comment section.

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

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

From the article:

The post, which initially featured a Progress Pride Flag alongside a caption to "Celebrate Pride Month 2024," stated otherwise.

"June is PTSD Awareness Month and the DoD is committed to supporting service members and veterans affected by PTSD," the caption said instead. Fortunately, the post was later deleted and replaced with a PTSD Awareness Month graphic.

"Pride Traumatic Stress Disorder"?

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.
