What Military People Are Saying

"On my last day in the military I was forced to attend a class. The class was called “Avoiding the White Gentleman’s Club”. I sat for about an hour and listened to the speaker constantly insinuate that most success from the white people in the room was ill-gotten. Then the focus shifted to “leveling the playing field”. While walking back to the barracks with my roommate (of color) he stated that it made him feel extremely comfortable. He also received bonus promotion points over me based on skin color. Though I would never hold something like that against a friend, you can imagine the collective divisiveness this causes within our ranks. That was 13 years ago. I can’t imagine our current state affairs."

“About a year ago a recruiter reached out through text message wanting permission to talk with my daughter. She has a very feminine name (so no confusion on gender/pronouns) but the recruiter kept referring to her as "They". It was definitely on purpose and very disheartening. That's when I knew people who were acting like or saying DEI was not a problem in the military have absolutely no clue what is going on or are fully supporting the movement. It's divisive, tribal, tokenism, racist, and will bleed the truly patriotic from the ranks.”

“DEI weakens the military. I saw this starting as I retired in 2020. I want the best person in each position, not someone who checks a color, gender, or sexual orientation box.”

“I got out in 2017 because the military was on a trajectory I couldn’t be a part of. Entire briefings to our soldiers on how evil white people are. Completely dividing our platoons. I was halfway to retirement and a platoon sergeant. Leading men in combat was my life. 34 months overseas giving everything to my country. Our commanders were the equivalent to Soviet propagandists.”

“Wow. I'm from Poland. When my dad served in the communist Polish People's Army they had an officer like he described. The political officer whom everyone was afraid of. He had an authority over the commander and was subordinate to the Party. I'm shocked what's going on in the USA."
