Now others are noticing that a woke military that makes culture war on its own people and their traditions is not an institution that those demographic groups most likely to serve are going to want anything to do with. Here’s Jeff Groom with a must-read piece in The Spectator. Talking about the large numbers of potential recruits who say they fear that they will suffer physical harm, or emotional and psychological problems if they serve, Groom writes, “It’s almost like the last twenty years of failed wars and thousands of wounded warriors has made potential recruits reconsider their life choices.” More: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene might be crass and loony at times, but she was duly elected, and her constituents in rural northwest Georgia are primo real estate for recruiters. Yet in April, Greene compared joining the military to “throwing your life away,” citing incompetent military leadership and the influence of wokeness in the Defense Department. While Dan McLaughlin at National Review categorized her views as the “fringe of the far right” and “out of step with how ordinary workaday conservative voters think and talk,” the current developments seem to verify Greene’s claims. Imagine you are an eighteen-year-old, white, Christian male in Georgia with a family history of military service. As you progressed through your teen years, you watched Confederate statues being torn down and military bases being renamed, endless media and elitist demonization of your culture as racist and deplorable and backwards, and military and civilian leadership that thinks diversity and inclusion (i.e. fewer white men) is best thing since sliced bread. Would you volunteer? Identity politics works both ways. Trash my tribe and I won’t associate with you, let alone risk my life. It shouldn’t be a shock, then, that those expressing a “great deal of trust and confidence in the military” dropped from 70 percent in 2018 to 45 percent today. On the other hand, if you join the military, you might have the chance to shower with a tranny, per Defense Department order. So there’s that. The point that Jeff Groom makes about white Christian males and the military is a broader one. What kind of loyalty should people routinely demonized by the ruling class in this country — in the media, in entertainment, in corporate hiring and training, in the military, and so forth — be expected to show towards this social and economic order? Does that loyalty extend to volunteering to be available to fight in the wars of choice launched by an Establishment that makes culture war on them? This is the thing that the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion people never, ever understand: that, in Groom’s words, “identity politics works both ways.” The white people who run these programs are liberals, and that means they hate themselves and people like them. No kidding, white liberal hatred of whites is measurable: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
