Military is headed in wrong direction

Under the current leadership of the U.S. defense department, the military is being slammed into woke ideology which is bound to undermine and defang the primary purpose of the defense department and the military.

The secretary of defense has made it clear that he seeks to purge the military of all extremism. The problem is his definition of extremism includes the opposite party’s ideology, which is based on capitalism and the theory of the army and military which is based on defeating the enemy.

Not only is the direction being taken by the defense department un-American in nature, it undermines the very essence of a democratic-driven military intended to represent the entirety of American values.
