For anyone paying attention, there have been some seriously big changes in Joe Biden’s version of the United States Armed Forces.
Politicized military
It’s not just the purging of those who are likely to vote GOP (via vax mandate firings), the creepy obsession with race or gender identitarian politics (like Milley studying ‘White Rage’), and who does and does not get fired.
Nobody was fired after the Fall of Kabul in Afghanistan needlessly killed Americans so that Joe could get his photo op for the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Nobody except Lt. Col Stuart Scheller Jr. – who went to the brig for criticizing the top brass. He was drummed out of the military, as was Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier, the Space force guy who criticized Marxism in the military.
They lost their jobs… for speaking their conscience. Meanwhile, the Pentagon violates US law by using tax dollars to facilitate abortion without consequence. Helluva double standard there.
It gets worse.
The open targeting of conservatives
This week featured a scandal in which someone in the Air Force gave a dire warning to anyone who might attend a political rally they mistakenly attributed as affiliated with Charlie Kirk’s GOP political group: Turning Point -USA. (Kirk’s statement here.)
A text sent by Minot Air Force Base leaders sounded negative about the Dakota Patriot Rally that took place Nov. 17 and had a keynote speaker from Turning Point USA, a conservative organization. The message warned that some attendees of the rally could be confrontational with service members, adding that airmen could “jeopardize” their careers by being involved with such groups.
“Leaders, please exercise caution if downtown this weekend,” the text obtained by Fox News said. “We just got word of an event going at the fairgrounds downtown called Dakota Patriot Rally. Its guest speaker is from an alt-right organization called Turning Point Action.”
The text added, “Please advise your folks that if they are going to be downtown this weekend, it’s good to be cautious, as the crowds this event may attract could be confrontational to military members. Additionally please remind them that participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the U.S. military.” — WashingtonTimes
Do you suppose maybe that actively violating the 1A rights of enlisted military to freely associate might be part of that enlistment and morale problem Uncle Sam has got going on?
Woke readiness over combat readiness
Biden has been gutting American military stockpiles, leaving them in Afghanistan or sending them to Ukraine faster than they can be replenished… and when they are replenished, it further depletes US resources resulting in a net loss, every time. Maybe THAT is part of why we fail our military audits miserably, every single year.
Instead of directing precious Pentagon resources on military readiness, on keeping pace with the relentless growth of China’s military, on the kind of training and/or maintenance that will keep our helicopters from falling from the sky, Biden’s Pentagon wants money for… Wokeness.
All of that is bad. AI makes it worse
In an August address, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks stated that technologies such as AI-controlled drone swarms will allow the US to balance China’s manpower’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) numerical superiority in weapons and manpower.
“We’ll counter the PLA’s mass with mass of our own, but ours will be harder to plan for, harder to hit, harder to beat,” she said, Reuters reported.
The Air Force secretary, Frank Kendall, told The Times that AI drones will need to have the capability to make lethal decisions while under human supervision. — ThePoliticsBrief
Even if it could be properly calibrated by the military not to go rogue as it does in so many Sci-fi movies ranging from War Games (1983), to Skynet in the Terminator franchise, or even Stealth (2005)… there’s a whole other set of problems built into that equation.
Military advancements almost always find their way into civilian applications.
We have seen from Chat GPT that the algorithms are overwhelmingly in agreement with the ideological left… even when it has to make up lies to support its own position… which is pretty crazy by itself.
NO ONE is friendlier to the military than conservatives, the right. Only the left shows open hostility and loathing to the military. No, the one and only reason to prohibit military members from hearing conservative speakers is that it contradicts the woke stupidity the left is forcing down the military’s throats.
But Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden gave that away when he promised his boss, Xi, we wouldn’t apply AI to military capabilities… if they wouldn’t. Hey, if you can’t trust a Chinese commie, who CAN you trust?
What’s causing all the mass shootings? certainly not Gun Owners and Guun Stores as well as the NRA which the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders are always trying to claim
