\n

The U.S. Armed Forces<\/a> have one mission: to protect our nation from foreign enemies. Our troops are as committed to that mission as ever before. But according to a bracing new report, our warriors\u2019 ability<\/i> to do their job is being undermined by civilian leaders more interested in woke indoctrination and partisan politics than warfighting readiness.<\/p>\n

“The Report of the National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness” is an urgent warning about creeping politicization at the Pentagon and its corrosive impact on America\u2019s national defense. As the report details, the Biden administration\u2019s<\/a> whole-of-government embrace of woke politics is becoming a dangerous distraction for servicemen and women who signed up to protect and defend, not virtue-signal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The top-line statistics compiled in the report are jarring.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Army missed its recruiting goal by 25 percent. They expect this year to be even worse. The Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps began the new fiscal year in October 50 percent below their normal recruiting numbers. Public confidence in the military is falling precipitously, and even military families \u2013 from which most recruits come \u2013 are less likely to recommend military life.<\/p>\n

THIS IS HOW WE WIN A NEW COLD WAR WITH CHINA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What explains the decline? According to a November poll, the most common explanations included “military leadership becoming overly politicized” and “so-called \u2018woke\u2019 practices undermining military effectiveness.” Another survey found that 65 percent of active-duty servicemen and women are concerned about politicization, including the woke training programs and equity-minded reduced physical fitness standards.<\/p>\n

Troop retention rates are falling, too, and for the same reasons. As the report notes, “the perception that non-warfighting missions are distracting senior military leadership may alienate experienced, skilled and knowledgeable warfighters, incentivizing their early departure[.]”\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no coincidence that the Heritage Foundation\u2019s latest annual Index of U.S. Military Strength rated our Armed Forces preparedness “weak.”<\/p>\n

Up and down the ranks, Team Biden\u2019s DEI-focused initiatives are degrading the warrior ethos, “grounded in values such as courage, honor and self-sacrifice,” on which military morale, respect and success depend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Department of Defense touts its “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” agenda like a third-tier college, apparently unaware that the institution they lead is “by design, exclusionary<\/i> to ensure its readiness.”<\/p>\n

Politicized initiatives like DEI always spawn enormous bureaucracies that distract the rank-and-file from their real jobs. The military is not immune. A report on the Navy compiled for members of Congress observes that, today, “non-combat curricula consume Navy resources, clog inboxes, create administrative quagmires, and monopolize precious training time.”<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s DOD sometimes seems more interested in culture-war activism than combat training and lethality. The Pentagon now pays<\/a> for abortion travel expenses, on-base pride celebrations, and drag queen story hours.<\/p>\n

Their 2023 budget requested $34.2 million to conduct a witch hunt for “extremist” \u2013 which in Biden-world translates as “conservative” \u2013 political activities in the ranks. Even DOD\u2019s own study showed less than .005 percent of the 2 million active military personnel were linked to extremist activity.<\/p>\n

China, Russia, North Korea, Iran… there is no shortage of real threats to deal with, and real challenges are coming. Since the Biden Pentagon continues<\/a> to focus on make-believe ones, Congress must step in to restore the military\u2019s warrior ethos and warfighting readiness.<\/p>\n

The “Report on Military Service and Readiness“<\/i> proposes several urgent reforms. DEI should be excised from the Department of Defense, and political initiatives redirected to combat readiness. Physical fitness standards should be designed to protect the American people, not to accommodate demographic quotas.<\/p>\n

Military readiness does not just win wars \u2013 it deters them. With war raging across the Atlantic<\/a> and a Cold War heating up across the Pacific, now is not the time to forget that, least of all because of juvenile political distractions.<\/p>\n

The American people need patriots to step up, to meet our rivals, and defend our country and values. Those in uniform on bases around the world already have. Now those on Capitol Hill need to do their part.<\/p>\n
