Strength Over Woke Issues: Reclaiming Our Military's Core Mission

"How Progressive Ideology is Undermining Our Armed Forces and Compromising National Security"

The military's primary mission is clear: to defend our country with an unwavering and formidable force. However, the recent infiltration of woke ideology into the military, from the highest levels of leadership down to the individual troops, has weakened and undercut this core mission. Instead of focusing on training and fighting as a first-rate lethal force, the military is being sidetracked by social issues that dilute its effectiveness and readiness.

The essence of military strength lies in its ability to operate cohesively and decisively. This requires a singular focus on combat readiness, discipline, and unity. Woke ideology, with its emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, while noble in some contexts, diverts attention from the essential military goals. Instead of fostering a unified fighting force, it creates divisions and distracts from the rigorous training and mental fortitude necessary for combat situations.

Military leaders are now spending valuable time and resources on diversity training and social justice initiatives, which do not contribute to enhancing combat capabilities. This shift in focus undermines the traditional values of meritocracy and excellence that historically defined military success. The emphasis on meeting diversity quotas and accommodating various social agendas detracts from the merit-based promotions and rigorous standards that ensure only the most capable individuals lead and operate within our armed forces.

Moreover, the introduction of woke policies often leads to a lowering of standards to ensure inclusivity. This is a dangerous precedent in an institution where the highest physical and mental fitness standards are non-negotiable. Lowering these standards compromises our troops' effectiveness and endangers their lives and the success of their missions.

The military's core mission is to be a lethal force capable of defending the nation against all threats. This requires an unyielding focus on readiness, strength, and unity. The infiltration of woke ideology undermines this mission by prioritizing social issues over military efficacy. To maintain our military as a world-class force, we must return to the principles of discipline, unity, and meritocracy, ensuring that our troops are the best trained and most capable fighters in the world. Only by doing so can we guarantee the safety and security of our nation.

It is high time our military returned to the core values embodied by each branch's motto:
Army: “This We’ll Defend”
Marines: “Semper Fidelis” - Always Faithful
Navy: “Honor, Courage, Commitment”
Air Force: “Aim High”
Coast Guard: “Semper Paratus” – Always Ready
Space Force: "Semper Supra” - Always Above
