Subverting Military From Within
Dear Editor,
After seeing and hearing the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs attempting to warrant just cause for indoctrination of critical race theory in the military with more lies and deceit in support of the Marxist/communist “woke revolution,” I wonder what the “Greatest Generation” is thinking. Specifically, the Band of Brothers who, like the chairman, wore the Screaming Eagle, emblem of the richly historical 101st Airborne Division.
I find it very difficult to accept that this general belongs in the same brotherhood that have gone before to distinguish themselves in so many previous conflicts across the globe in an ongoing effort to maintain the freedoms that every American is blessed to enjoy every day.
Our greatest geopolitical adversaries are salivating over the prospect of the deterioration and subsequent downfall of our democratic republic, and the weakening of our military from within is a gift for those regimes and will damage our freedoms far more than the recent pandemic. I hope that everyone has seen the recent videos of the Chinese Communist Party’s robotic, regimented observance of 100 years in power and compare it with Americas 245 years of formation of a “more perfect union” and celebrations of our freedoms. God bless America!

Amen James Simmonds , watched him make a complete fool of himself durning those hearings and I was SHOCKED to set and listen to this garbage . Ashamed is my feeling .
Shocked and Ashamed is the two words to hear him speaking at the hearings.
Completely and utterly shocked and ashamed.
James: As the son of a WWII army air force veteran who flew 30 bomb missions over Germany as part of the 8th Air Corps, the nephew of five uncles who served in combat in the Army and Navy and the son-in-law of an Army POW who was wounded in WWII, I can tell you what they would say: This man needs to be charged with high treason against the United Stated, court martialed and drummed out of the armed forces. He is a disgrace to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for this country and received very little if anything in return. CRT stands for “critical race trash” and it needs to be disposed of immediately!
So having an open mind is now treason? Kinda of a fascist idea there AB.
He just said he was open to reading and studying the idea….he didn’t endorse for adding to military curriculum. Although he didn’t rule it out either. Fine do you think he isn’t fit for the job but treason for just being open to others ideas?! Your WWII heroes would be sadly disappointed in you. I know I am.
Having been in the military, this general was just being political since he still has a job under Biden. Expressing your own ideas is not listed in the qualifications to be chief of staff of the military. For me, I would have hated to serve under him.
We were, indeed, founded as a Judeo-Christian society. The Republic will survive “with Liberty and Justice for all” only in this manner. Read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to see that this is apparent. Read Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, to name a few. You can’t get the facts about our Republic from the Idiot Box, a DumbPhone, the Media, or even the classroom.
Without George Washington, would would likely be another “Commonwealth”.
Yet, they are still “Coming to America”.
James, I find that most people who blather on about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and who see it is as evil actually know very little about Critical Race Theory. To be clear, the General didn’t promote CRT or recommend teaching the theory in the military academy. He simply said that being ‘woke’ and keeping an open mind the new theories (new to him as CRT has been around a long time and has yet to tear a single thread in our democracy) as that is what makes him a good leader. Hence his comments about having studied Marxism even though he doesn’t agree with it for example.
I personal only know CRT for what I have found from some basic internet searches and can find a few things in it I might agree with as well as a few things that I might not agree with if I took the time to study the theory (which I don’t plan to). But I certainly don’t fear CRT. That is a trick of weak leaders like Matt G that use fear and ignorance to try to pit you against their opposition for their own personal gain. Don’t be a sheep and fall for that trap. Be your own self, diversify who listen to and learn from a wide range of sources and maybe you can achieve even an ounce of personal success and accomplishment as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Best wishes from you local independent voter
My “blather” on this particular issue is based on my experience as a Vietnam Vet of the USAF Security Forces at a time when our Country was enduring societal differences in confrontations with war, race and revolt. I served with minorities of all races, religions, and creeds, and yet we managed to maintain the cohesion necessary to complete our mission and any internal conflict was dealt with as needed with respect to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Although I did not choose to make the Military a career, I consider my service a privelege and have maintained a keen interest in the all voluntary forces now serving and Americas position on the world stage. I pray that our leaders will continue to abide by the oath to defend our Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. One more thing…..I am also registered an independent voter.
But treason for a military leader because he had an open mind. Sad. All you fought for you toss out the window over a theory that most people don’t even really know what it means other than what they have heard others blather on about. Just as you did.
Wasn’t Vietnam like the only war we gave up on? That’s what you call completing your mission?
I assume since you refer to your service as a “privilege”, you were not drafted and forced into that role?
Also, times change. This isn’t your military any more. The world has changed. The country has changed. Fortunately, you’ll stop voting soon!
I love America. If I fly our flag, that makes me a racist according to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Then I am a racist.
Turn out there isn’t a single Austin Morris registered to vote in Guilford county. Therefore, you are irrelevant in this discussion of local issues. – Get the joke yet?
(In the collective) You aren’t a racist because you wave the flag, you’re racist because you think white people are more deserving of power and opportunity, demonstrating you don’t understand what that flags mean.

Life in America was much better when CRT was a heavy, bulky computer monitor.
To Chris,what happened to the 3-RSP .We don’t need to have children at odds with each other.Over the last numbers of years Americans were uniting as one .Then along comes the Democrats and their philosophy to be the leaders of our states and federal politics.They have been trying every way to gain the upper hand in our elections to be the doe leaders of America forever.Look at the borders with all these Nationalities coming over .The Dems think they will replace the black vote that is switching to the Republican Party.By adding DC and Puerta Rico ,they will get 4more Dem senators. The Dems have given up on the American people who are not Dems and are trying to DESTROY America as we see it today.Look at Antifi and BLM ,they are the militant side of the Democratic Party.The president is giving tax money away in a wild and stupid way that we ,our children,our grand children,and our great grandchildren will never pay it back. It seems that this group of leaders will do everything possible to stay in power.I detest the lies that they espouse.The president really let us have it when he said I will govern all people.He becomes prez then every Republican in America he goes after.Worst case was the Gov.and leaders in Georgia who improved the laws on elections in their state.Joe calls them Jim Crow# 2.They were improving their state laws on elections.
