A revolutionary campaign that no longer hides its aims

THERE IS AN ONGOING WAR being waged by domestic enemies against the United States military that is far more destructive than any threat we are facing from our foreign adversaries!

Military senior leaders are ceaselessly waging a politically and culturally subversive campaign against our men and women in uniform.

There is no doubt that men and women of character will continue to lose their motivation to serve and will leave the service.

And there is no end in sight to our recruiting troubles. Senior leaders and decisionmakers who pretend to care about solving our recruiting and retention problems without first abandoning this activist agenda are only fooling themselves.

The memorandum below, which was just signed on 13 May 2024, admonishes servicemembers to celebrate and honor the lifestyle and contributions of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and queers.

You may think this is nothing new, but the energy and directness of the agenda is only growing stronger each month, and the activists who wage the campaign are more brazen than ever.

False spirits who thrive on division and destruction seem to animate our every move.

The memorandum honors “the strength” and “progress” that “activists” have brought to the force.

The memorandum “empowers commanders” to “organize” activities for their bases.

It is a revolutionary campaign that no longer needs to hide its aims. It employs all of the right revolutionary language.

It is Marxist-rooted DEI at its best. It is evil.

If you are in uniform, now is the time for you to speak up against this agenda as if the life of your country depends on it, because it does.

If you are a military leader and you understand firsthand the deleterious influence of this leftist activism perpetrated by our Defense Department, then speak up now or accept that you are a damned coward and accomplice.

Feigned kindness in the face of evil is only foolishness.

Tolerance of this revolutionary spirit at this critical hour is little short of treasonous.

Cowardice is the opposite of faith and love.

“While at @7thForces, I had a transgender superior officer (a Green Beret) who was a biological male identifying as a female. To avoid violating my conscience, but to avoid adverse action, I referred to him by rank & last name.

Altho I survived this (tho I would later suffer for refusing the COVID VAX) it is becoming harder & harder for service members to avoid affirming woke ideology without facing punishment, all while these policies are destroying the lethality & readiness of the force.

I urge all service members to follow their consciences, to do the right thing no matter what, & to resist this woke nonsense. We took an oath to support & defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign & domestic, & were prepared to offer our lives to do so.

Make no mistake, this false doctrine is a domestic threat & greater than any external threat we currently face.”
