On 17 August 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower prescribed a Code of Conduct for members of the Armed Forces of the United States. (snip) As a 20-year veteran of the United States Navy, I was taught this Code of Conduct and instructed in the responsibilities that accompanied my service. (snip) Given the inherent and undeniable virtues of this colorblind, merit-based system based upon shared values, the Armed Forces of the United States travel a pernicious and destructive path if they embrace Critical Race Theory, with its core belief that America and her citizenry are irredeemably racist, along with the tenets of “white supremacy,” “whiteness,”

To answer the question in the headline...They were all either fired or retired under the Kenyan in chief. NO general officer of merit and integrity stayed to serve under that asshat! Only toadys remained... witness Lloyd Austin, McGilday and Miley.

The military used to be about killing people and breaking things......now their primary mission is rooting out white supremacy in the ranks and rearranging people’s plumbing on demand. They are done.

The leadership is gone, the CIC is a crazy old fool being controlled by radicals. I can't speak for all veterans but most of us are out here armed and ready. This racism madness has a short shelf life.

Well this veteran has been working hard, along with others, to overturn local offices and install constitutional conservatives. We're focusing on the school board and local government. I suggest you do the same--veteran or not.

As Victor Davis Hanson says, America studies whiteness and wokeness, while China studies geography such as the Suez Canal, the Straits of Hormuz, & the Straits of Gibraltar. China is our enemy. Corporate media is their accomplice. China just attacked us with biological warfare. Our political leadership is too busy enriching themselves to see it. These are serious and dark times fellow L’dotters!

As a poster said elsewhere, all these shenanigans are turning Democrats into Republicans all over the place. It is important not to despair at this time and say 'What's the use they are going to cheat anyway'. Keep the faith.God loves America!

Actual men are slowly but surely being purged from our once proud military. Why would a straight white male want to join the military today... you know, like the straight white males that saved Europe, twice. Sickening. We live in a sick world that is getting sicker.

The liberals ass-kiss their way in to every aspect of authority in Church, State, Media and Education. Once they've achieved high enough rank, or believe they can bully/shame their superiors into compliance, they make sure no one joins their lofty status unless they think the same way.
Are you the most competent genius to walk into one of these fields - tough! If you aren't with them, they will refuse your entry, and if you manage to catch the public's attention by shear merit, they will band together and destroy you.
Hell's Mouth gaped wide for you all.

Come the next war, what will be left of the brave soldiers and sailors that have answer the call to defend this nation. They will have been driven out of the service. If you have put your life on the line to serve, you will reach a point where you will have enough of being slandered by lies that you are racist and white supremacists. The fact that the lapdog Generals and Admirals are forcing Critical Race Theory indoctrination down their throats will force brave soldiers and sailors to do other things.

An American militia looks better all the time...Washington DC should remember that our military is a volunteer group... and can just as easier move their allegiance to self preservation...which is starting to happen...the democrats let blm and antifa burn and loot and terrorize communities all year because they were hoping for a civil war between the races... to what end... you ask... it's all about the black vote that they are losing to President Trump...they were hoping they could convince them how bad whitey is...didn't work out for them...

A military without a coherent moral foundation is nothing more than a mob. The Left loves mobs.
Where are they? They are now emulating the ideals of Al Bundy, Homer Simpsons, and Peter Griffin that the media has been feeding them for 20 years. They're holding their wife's purse, shaving their legs and shopping for skinny jeans.
Have you seen the guy in the new Hanes underwear commercial? He's the new male American roll model, seeking "ball-ance." Like a chimp hanging from a tree. A brainless consumer. They were showing this during EVERY UFC commercial break Saturday night, because Madison Avenue thinks this guy is the winning formula with males 18 to 30.
There are no men, anymore.

Remember the days when we trusted the FBI? Why don't we now? It's the same throughout government, from Federal to state and local. Trust your elections? Trust your local authorities? Who can we trust?
The military is now what those '60s hippies hoped for: A volunteer force that is no less career minded than patriotic. They've turned duty and service into a job, and its structure a vehicle for social change...the kind Truman forced in 1948 on steroids. And the left knows the right fawns over generals and flags...so who's going to get too upset? Gee, what would Mad Dog do?

Yes #4, We Veterans ARE armed and ready. If the Commies take over this country and try to put us in Prison, either by reality or by spirit, there will be hell to pay! Can the Commies say 'Red Dawn'?

In the immortal words of Col. Hackworth, they are "perfumed princes", and most received their stars under Obama, which means not long ago, and have a sense of obligation to the democrat party now.

The women, oops, birthing people, associated with/and who promote the regime appear more masculine than the non-birthing people we have been introduced to during obama's final act. Wimpiest bunch of males and butch women ever assembled in one place. When they are replaced, that should be a national holiday.

The article asks "Why are we allowing this racist cancer to infect the ranks of the most educated, most talented, and most lethal military to ever exist in human history?" Because the left knows the military represents one of the last institutional barriers to their acquisition of total power. Therefore it must be corrupted, co-opted, and made incapable of effectively resisting them.

I’m glad my retired fighter-pilot brother passed 21 years ago so he wouldn’t see what happened to the country he loved.

As a proud U.S. Army Viet Nam Era veteran I am outraged over what the liberal progressive Marxists now in power have done to my country. Even in my advanced years I am ready and eager to serve again.

If the ''new'' military (aka the old Marxism) could take pains to explain how citizens will be Preserved and Protected only if they are illegal aliens or of ''minority'' genealogy, then I will take pains to hear it.

What's most worrisome is wars sometimes erupt with little warning. If someone has told you on Sept 10, 2001 we would soon invade Afghanistan and stay there 20 years you would have thought they were nuts. We would not be capable of fighting terrorists today because the military brass think the terrorists are our friends, and our own troops are the enemy.

I was asking this question after about year four of OIF and OEF. That we are still putzing around in the ME with nothing to show for it but withdrawals and cease fires (surrenders) either the uniformed leadership lied about preparedness, couldn't/wouldn't make the tough decisions to win, or were inept. I think all of the above.

I live in a community with many Active Duty and Veterans. To quote a "woke" neighbor and Retired Army Captain from, what I call, The "New" Army....."they will give anyone with a pulse a promotion. They got rid of so many of the old people that needed to go.....".
The military is being programmed like college campuses.
