Wokeness, an extreme version of political correctness, took root in the Pentagon during the Obama years
There are two types of senior military leaders. One always seeks ways to maximize the lethality and readiness of the forces under his command. The other is so sunken in the political swamp that those concepts are nearly forgotten.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin unfortunately falls in the second category. He and President Biden are turning our military into a “woke” force.
Wokeness, an extreme version of political correctness, took root in the Pentagon during the Obama years. Two examples suffice. In 2014, then-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel mandated an “environmental roadmap” mandating deference to environmental concerns when making operational plans. In 2015, the Army issued regulations requiring that commanders balance mission requirements with the needs of breastfeeding mothers. Compromising readiness or operational needs to politics is a stupid move that can cost American lives.
The officers who were converted to that thinking during the Obama years are now the generals and admirals who are most susceptible to wokeness.
Soon after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Mr. Biden asked the intelligence community for an assessment of the threat of domestic terrorism. Because some active duty military members and veterans reportedly participated in the riot, on Feb. 3, Mr. Austin ordered a Defense Department-wide “stand down” over 60 days to have training on extremism at every level down to the smallest unit. --->READ MORE HERE

I have obtained a copy of all the materials regarding the sudden new threat of “Extremism” used for training in the United States military. Throughout the services, service members have been shocked at the Biden blitz to root out ideas and people who stand in the way of the administration’s transformative agenda.
One individual in the training told me, “The military is one of the last institutions left that hasn’t been radicalized by the progressives. That’s why it is being targeted now.”
All personnel are being subjected to a PowerPoint presentation packed with progressive ideology and misstatements of the Constitution. Designated officers are conducting the training on bases, stations, and ships at sea. The slides contain misstatements of the law and warped characterizations of fellow citizens who believe in constitutional principles.
The document crafted by the Pentagon for the Navy is called “Extremism Stand Down – Commander Engagements With All Service Members. Discussion Guide 19FEB21.” I have obtained both the slides shown to service members and the training guide for the officers presenting the training.
“Extremism in the Ranks” is a capitalized proper noun in the document. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
