Trump Admin. War on Minorities Could Undermine Iran War Effort
On March 23, Gen. Stanley McChrystal was interviewed by New York Times columnist David French. He made a point to trumpet diversity as one of the United States military’s greatest strengths.
“I think people ought to look like whatever they look like so that they are capable in their jobs. I think the idea that we wouldn’t want gay or transgender service members to serve — if they’re good — is preposterous. I want whoever’s good to serve,” said General McChrystal.”
Tragically, the wisdom of a leader like McChrystal has given way to parochial, chest-beating peacocks like Secretary of Defense, err War, Pete Hegseth. His obsession with racial discrimination, in the guise of fighting “wokeness”, has led to an ugly race to the bottom with dire national security implications.
In his 2024 book, “The War on Warriors,” Hegseth belittled senior officers as “cowards hiding under stars” and “whores to wokesters.” He wrote, “The Left captured the military quickly, and we must reclaim it at a faster pace. We must wage a frontal assault. A swift counterattack, in broad daylight.”
That is one sordid promise Hegseth has kept. In his distorted view, any minority who has succeeded in the armed services must have risen in the ranks thanks to their special status. They are obviously incompetent, in his telling, and were only promoted due to affirmative action or political correctness. These decorated soldiers have earned medals and ribbons, but they supposedly lack merit despite their accomplishments.
Yes, that’s quite a leap in logic coming from a lifelong loser who is the least credentialed, most incompetent, morally unfit Secretary of Defense in American history. He only got the job because Donald Trump thought he looked good on Fox & Friends.
A wife-beating drunk who was excoriated by his own mother for abusing women, he was elevated to his position only after promising Congress that he would put down the bottle, which he presumably has surreptitiously converted into a hidden flask.
