I recently have enjoyed many conversations with former military colleagues, and defense contractors.

Since Nov 5th, I have asked them what was the mood was on the ground in the force, concerning the incoming administration and everything that entails...you know, America First, anti-Marxism, anti-DEI, etc.

I have been shocked by their response.

Many of them In my opinion have lost the ability to critically think.

They have been absorbed by 'the blob', likely scared for their careers, their livelihood, and future political futures. I'm not talking just flag officers, I'm talking down the chain of command.

When I asked them about 'diversity', they say diversity is a good thing. When I ask does that include diversity of political thought? - they don't know what to say and go quiet.

They know Marxism, dividing by identity politics destroys unit cohesion and combat effectiveness.

But they won't say it out loud.

Choosing personnel based on skin color or gender is not right, especially in the business of war fighting. That mentality gets people killed.

Merit is the only metric that should be used.

The 'colorblind' mentality, that once was the pride and joy of the U.S. armed forces, is quite simply - gone.

We MUST get it back under Trump, and those that continue to spout Maoist principles, must be removed.

I am very hopeful Pete Hegseth will get the job done, and it is why he was chosen.
