US Military: Social Justice Warriors | The American Conservative

I still struggle to process the meaning of the Pentagon s propaganda blitzkrieg against Tucker Carlson. Even if you think Carlson is wrong in his criticism of the woke military (see here for some of it), the fact that the Defense Department has reacted so aggressively is extraordinarily troubling. I would have been troubled by it had the DoD hit out at left-wing media critics like this. But to my knowledge, they never have. They reserved this kind of response for a conservative media figure who questioned the military s new wokeness. This tells us something.

I ve been hearing from a number of you since I first posted about it the other day. A pastor I know personally told me that one of his congregation is in a service academy, and sends him photographs of assignments and readings they are given. The young person asks the pastor for advice on how to navigate all this as a Christian. The pastor said he the pastor is a conservative, but the things that the new woke military is putting into the heads of our young people are shocking. Let me be clear: the pastor is not hearing about this second-hand; he s seeing photos of the actual documents. I have asked him to share them with me so I can pass them on to you. I m waiting to hear back.

This makes me nervous. Nothing like having the big guns on your side if you’re in the mood for stamping out civil rights.
