The Reason For A Woke Military

Stephen Green notes that there is only one reason for the military inculcating troops with "woke" ideology: to turn them against their countrymen. He explains:

    There is only one reason to teach soldiers that the country they're supposed to be willing to fight and die to protect is irredeemable. 

    Let me share with you some observations I first made two years ago for our VIP subscribers.

    If most countries don’t face genuine external threats and most wars of aggression don’t pay off, why does nearly every country in the world have an army?

    In most of the world, the army doesn’t exist to protect the country. It exists to protect the interests and the tender hide of this month’s President-for-Life. An army doesn’t have to be particularly effective to put down a rebellion; it just has to be better armed and a bit more organized than the people El Presidente might have to suppress.

    In the last several years, wokeness has come to infect our military just as it previously had our universities, news outlets, and the entertainment industry.

    Our readiness now is about what you'd expect: “U.S. military is only ‘marginally’ prepared to defend America’s interests at a time when adversaries are ramping up military capabilities.”

    I’ve begun thinking of our postmodern military not as a useless Woke Force but as a Third World military: a force that isn’t any good at fighting foreign wars but is perfectly suited for putting down domestic undesirables.

    Do I exaggerate? In 2021, Woke Army Sgt. Cindy Bronson had a message for her fellow Americans in case martial law is declared: “Understand that if active duty military actually get deployed within the United States, that weapon is not just going to be pointed at other people, other countries, it’s pointed at you.”

    “If you do not get in your house when I tell you to,” Bronson warned, “you become the enemy. Martial law. You know, when your rights get curtailed?”

    Roger that, Bronson.
