The Biden appointee declared Monday that the armed forces aren\u2019t woke, they just have diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in every military base to make marginalized members of society feel included within military ranks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know we get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being woke, I\u2019m not sure what woke means,\u201d Wormuth said sharply. \u201cBut first of all I would say, if woke mean we are not focused on war fighting, we are not fighting on readiness, that doesn\u2019t reflect what I see at installations all around the countries or overseas when I go to visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What does Wormuth see?

We would prefer to exclude anybody not fit to serve or that slows down the army\u2019s readiness to kill.<\/p>\n<p>That matters not to the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Biden administration came into power, recruiting for the military plummeted. It doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s a coincidence that recruitment dropped alongside its push for DEI principles in the army.<\/p>\n<p>Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Jimmy Byrne <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/amp\/articles\/what-if-they-gave-a-war-and-everybody-was-woke-military-recruitment-crt-training-obesity-reading-labor-market-11659108526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">observed<\/a> that \u201cNearly every branch has struggled to meet its recruitment goals for 2022, with some falling as short as 40%. Worse yet, only about a quarter of America\u2019s youth meet current eligibility standards \u2014 and recent surveys show only 9% are even interested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers can\u2019t be explained by factors caused pandemic. At the time Byrne\u2019s column was written, America had an unemployment rate of 3.6% nearly identical to the unemployment rate in 2019. Under President Donald Trump, the military exceeded its recruiting goals. Teenage obesity, perhaps another explanatory factory, only rose by three percent. The military is even giving out gigantic bonuses to entice Americans,\u00a0 but nothing is working.<\/p>\n<p>As pointed out by Byrne, one explanation could be \u201cthe wholesale embrace of woke politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather than ditch those efforts in wake of dismal recruiting figures, the Biden administration is pushing them like never before.<\/p>\n<p>If you ask Wormuth, those \u201cwoke politics\u201d don\u2019t even exist in Biden\u2019s military.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things I think that\u2019s most important \u2026 is keeping the army apolitical and keeping it out of the culture wars,\u201d she said incredulously on Monday.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Army Secretary Christine Wormuth: &#8220;One of the things I think that&#8217;s most important \u2026 is keeping the army apolitical and keeping it out of the culture wars.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dwevDGJ4aM\">pic.twitter.com\/dwevDGJ4aM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1579529586903220224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the same session, Wormuth declares that military leaders stay out of politics and the culture war, but also declares that the military is being used as a vehicle to foist DEI onto the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Her comments were revealing. Wormuth doesn\u2019t think DEI is political. She thinks it is good, moral, and smart.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even looking at just one of the planks\u00a0 DEI shows that \u201cequity\u201d is entirely anti-American and will get people killed.<\/p>\n<p>Stanford professor Victor Davis Hanson explained to The Daily Wire last spring that the transition to \u201cequity\u201d away from \u201cequality\u201d is intentionally done to increase government power and advance Leftist ideology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEquality is an American idea of equality and fairness in opportunity,\u201d Hanson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-admin-unleashes-total-transformation-of-government-with-equity-action-plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a>. \u201cEquity is a French revolutionary idea of equality of result mandated by a coercive government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for what that entails for the American people, Hanson explained that \u201cit simply means that in reductionist fashion, any inequality is due to racism or bias and the government must have the wisdom and morality to punish perceived victimizers and redistribute to supposed victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll else does not count\u2013not merit, not tragedies, not health, not class, not work ethic, not family structures, not culture, not anything\u2014except the elite in charge will always be exempt from the ramifications of their own equity ideology,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>So the end result of Wormuth\u2019s plan is a military with fewer recruits and therefore killers and is used as a vehicle for Leftist, woke indoctrination.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, \u201cthe Elite in charge\u201d won\u2019t face the ramifications of this ideology. They won\u2019t be on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that if you re-arrange DEI, you get DIE \u2014 which is exactly what will<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, President Joe Biden\u2018s Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth gave a master class on how the Left advances its agenda into every orifice of the United States federal government.
