Fellow Fordham University alum @stephendgadubato encapsulates the essence of our decrepit alma mater in COMPACT

'poststructuralist theory and hanging rainbow flags...are less demanding than paying workers adequately and fostering a culture that values family and community...'

Woof

At a time of social chaos, the collapse of tradition, and a military recruiting crisis, the Biden admin wants anyone but the ancestors of Soldiers to serve.

In a time like this, a warrior caste is exactly what we need.

The woke are more correct than the mainstream

My latest for Daily Caller:

Foreign Affairs warned of conservatives who want to politicize the military.

The tactic of accusing your opponent of the action you've taken for decades is worn out.

In fact, the left has politicized the DoD since the 60s.

I can empathize with this. It's tough to be a chicken in my suburban NOVA backyard. First, my dog kills one during my daughter's birthday party in 2023. Then, 6 months later, that same dog kills seven more.

I adjust, buy some more chickens from a real farmer, and then a fox

ib cannot fathom the level of comraderie that leads a man to prefer the lives of his brothers over those of strangers in the lands they fight, no matter the cause others choose for them.

The Pentagon relies on corporate research to justify the notion diverse infantry platoons are more lethal. These corporate studies did not examine the military, and they were fabricated.

The demand for military group quotas is built on a lie to justify a political agenda.

SCOOP: The Biden administration’s Department of Defense used a debunked McKinsey study to force the DEI agenda on the military, baselessly claiming that higher diversity led to higher performance.

Here are four times when the Biden DOD used the debunked study to push DEI:🧵

Has there been a better case for Trump than this masterclass by Tom Klingenstein ?

This study is also, somehow, foundational to the military's own DEI devotion. It's rebuke should be the end of military race/sex quotas, and the general insistence on the belief more diverse units make more lethal ones.

Mark Esper mentions every instance of wokeness in the military except those policies he permitted as SECDEF: the vast and numerous instances of race and sex based quotas that have redefined military personnel and programs.

David Brooks sees Claremont Institute and COMPACT as the intellectual heft behind the Trump movement.

When 1/3 of active duty families won’t recommend service to their offspring, we have a crisis.

This would be like if the Army changed its fitness test to make it easier for women to pass.

Wait…
