Trump's Warrior Board

[Vambram]

Trump could only cares about loyalty to him.

I completely disagree with that opinion.

1984.
Has anyone here gone through boot camp recently or have first hand experience?

My boot camp was in 1993. I served active duty army until 2008. Then, in 2011, I joined the Missouri Army National Guard. Because I am still in the National Guard, I see the results of the trainings and classes which the new soldiers as well as the rest of my fellow soldiers & I have been required to take within the last 4 years. DEI related classes are just the tip of the iceberg in my opinion of the dumb classes we have been forced to sit through with death by powerpoint.

Is that all the training is doing is providing definitions?

That's certainly all your link provided.

How long ago was it when you were in boot camp.... 1984? Clearly, much has changed in the military and in American culture since 1984. Many of those changes are not good at all.

Sure, American culture has changed...and by extension, the military as well. How have these "changes" affected the US military specifically?

Tip of the iceberg. Such as?

No it doesn't. Didn't you read that it says full courses are being taught? Tge definition aspect you are hyper focused on one says the definitions are used in the the courses. They are NOT the course itself.

The elective 8-meeting course.

More things from armed forces whistle blowers.

US troops forced to segregate by race and sex for 'privilege walks,' told they're racist and more, Sen. Cotton says

An airman told us their unit was forced into a racist exercise called a privilege walk, where members of the wing were ordered to separate themselves by race and gender in order to stratify people based on their perceived privilege.”

Cotton said U.S. troops throughout the services have come forward with complaints that they have been forced to watch videos about systemic racism and documentaries “that rewrite America’s history as a fundamentally racist and evil nation.”

“Mr. Secretary, we’re hearing reports of plummeting morale, growing mistrust between the races and sexes where none existed just six months ago, and unexpected retirements and separations based on these trainings alone,” Cotton said. “And again, these are not my words, these are the words of your own troops.”

I wonder if any remembers this was going on.

Air Force moves to cancel contracts for training on ‘white privilege’

The slide asked airmen to “please take a moment and understand” the concept of white privilege. The slide showed two news stories about burglary suspects, with a group of white suspects pictured wearing suits and ties, and the Black suspects portrayed in police mug shots. Task and Purpose confirmed the slide was part of a presentation at Langley.

In the OMB memo, Vought cited unnamed press reports that federal employees have been “required to attend trainings where they are told that ‘virtually all White people contribute to racism’ or where they are required to say that they ‘benefit from racism.'”

Well that's enough. It's obvious there will be no convincing you of what's gone on. I'm not going to waste time with someone who won't admit what's happening.

I'm just glad we are going to have people in charge who are going to put a stop to it. No more trans surgeries for the soldiers.

I'd like to see these videos that airmen were forced to watch......anyone have a link?

"Senior officers in the U.S. military are preparing after reports of a potential new review process for top generals, a review they fear will vet personal loyalty to President-elect Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported on a draft executive order that is under consideration by the Trump transition team that would establish a so-called "warrior board," to review top generals over whether they should continue service or not, and whether they lack certain leadership qualities."

Members of the military swear an oath to the Constitution......(as does the President)

The military may be less at risk of the yes-man erosion of competence that may affect other departments. Most of them voted for Trump anyway and his aversion to starting any new wars is probably popular also

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with a "woke" military. I'm confused how it would even be a problem. What is wrong with diversity in the military?

When the generals prioritize diversity over warfare, it is a problem.

....that's some imagination you have Oompa.

There is no prioritizing woke over warfare happening here.

Are y'all forgetting just how very effective Trump's foreign policy was in his first term? Do y'all understand that Trump has a much higher amount of support from the rank and file Servicemembers of the US military than did Biden or Harris? I know for a fact that the vast majority of Servicemembers are sick and tired of the woke agenda that was shoved down our throats by "top officers" who were obeying the progressive left wing ideology of Joe Biden and the leadership of the Democratic Party.

You hit the nail on the head.

 

[Postvieww]

Oompa’s post was accurate!

 

[wing2000]

Oompa’s post was accurate!

I have no doubt that is what you believe.

I have yet to see any evidence. For example, one member here has served in the National Guard for years. Surely that member could post a powerpoint illustrating the "woke" agenda in the National Guard's training.....

 

[essentialsaltes]

I encourage people to go to the Department of Defense Office of DEI and show us the woke.

As I mentioned before, the Instructions and Directives all come from Trump's first term.

Many discussions have been had regarding the problems with DEI and CRT and gender theory. I know you have ignored all the issues and see nothing wrong with it. But to reiterate in a nutshell it divides people. It divides us all into oppressed and oppressor and teaches people to look at each other that way. In a fighting unit, unity of brotherhood is critical to maintain a cohesive fighting force. When you start to tell soldiers that they are part of an oppressed group and thier fellow soldiers are part of the oppressor group you get mistrust.

Soldiers complained about that and there were military leaders who wrote a letter in support of Trump and in it they mentioned how wokism is weakening the military.

I'm sure you still won't see it, but now that we have Trump back, we'll end it and get our fighting force back and I think in time you'll see recruitment go back up.

The woke military ads are uninspiring. No wonder recruitment is down.

Actively pursuing people with mental health disorders does not strengthen the military. It weakens it.

It came in 2020. Trump actually wrote an order to stop much of this a Biden reinstated it. This term is different. And the fact he chose Hesgeth is evidence of it.

I think Trump is far better prepared this term to deal with these things. And we all have high hopes that he will.

You'd think that after the election, you'd be less dismissive and more willing to listen.

No need to go to the website. The mere existence of such an office proves my point.

I would ask that member how things are going with the ACFT standards when the Army tried to make the fitness test gender neutral. You can also ask that member how things are going since opening combat arms MOSs to women.
