Kurt Schlichter: The Military Is Shifting Its Emphasis from Fighting Wars to Fighting Intolerance. This Will Get People Killed, and Leave America Defenseless.

By all means, let's keep surrendering to leftwing demands that we change the culture year-by-year to resemble that of the Khmer Rouge.

While all the while, Conservative, Inc. swears to us that this is just the normal give-and-take in a democracy, and that we shouldn't be all hotheaded (like that criminal Rush Limbaugh) about rejecting these demands outright.

We must always make a Reasonable Counteroffer. That's the gentlemanly thing to do. Like making sure there's plenty of Sunny D in the fridge for your bull when he comes to service your wife.

It gives me no pleasure to say that I no longer recommend that young people join the military, and I'm not alone. The non-Blue Falcon veteran community is in full revolt against the conscious decision to decline embraced by our current military leadership. After failing to win a war in the last 20 years pp and don't say Syria, because the second President * woke up in the Oval Office wondering how he got there, more of our troops were heading back into the hellscape for reasons no one has bothered to articulate -- the military has decided to target an easier enemy, i.e., other Americans.

...

So, count us out from complicity with the degeneration of our proud institution into a giant gender studies struggle session. And that's a big deal. Do you know where the military gets a huge chunk on its recruits? Legacies. These are young troops who want to be like their father or grandfather or big brother or neighbor or other role model. I was the third-generation commissioned officer in my family, on both sides. Guess what? Right now, if one of my kids goes in, it's against my advice. And again, I am not alone. I hear this over and over and over from other vets. And it makes me furious.

Congratulations, Pentagon. This is all on you.

...

And now, though we have not won a war in two decades, our military has plenty of time to stop training and focus on purging the ranks of people who like the politicians the current administration opposes. I eagerly await the introduction to the new 69D MOS - political officer. A zampolit for every battalion -- hell, why not every company?

...

No, I do not recommend anyone subject themselves to this sort of four-year camo sociology seminar in which they must "pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy" or any other branch. My intersectional identity is "America," and I am utterly uninterested in any other identity.

Kurt's latest book is Crisis, book five in his Kelly Turnball post-America chronicles.

Say, remember when people thought that was dystopian sci-fi? Good days, good days.

Below, our armed forces -- or let us say, our armed social workers -- discuss fighting for the only remaining American value: "inclusiveness."
