“Where do we find such men?”
That memorable line comes from James Mitchner’s Korean War novel, The Bridges of Toko-Ri. It refers to intrepid aviators lifting from a carrier, flying into untold danger. They know they may not return. They launch anyway. In boldness unfathomable to many, they willingly, artfully fly into peril. They are warriors, men of rare talent, intellect, and courage – a combination essential for victory.
Needed warriors are now being purged from the U.S. military. If America went to war right now with China or Russia, we could lose because of these purges. We’re losing top-level warrior-leaders to make the crucial differences in battle. They’re being systematically drummed out as politically incorrect. When the going gets tough, political correctness (PC) is useless. Then the brilliant, wily fighters, the coolest heads, the most courageous warriors, are needed to lead regardless of social views or record.
Today, in large measure, our fighting forces are led by briefcase-carrying busybodies, yes-men more interested in enforcing political beliefs and social change than leading in battle. They care more about their careers than what’s happening to the military and thus the country. Just last week, a new downsizing of the army was announced – without a protest.

Might be a blessing in disguise considering we will face 'em one day.....
ReplyDeleteHopefully the warrior ones would be on our side.
DeleteThis is all being done by design with malice of intent. Purge the warriors and promote the wimps. I think this ongoing campaign against the Confederate flag and every thing connected with it are linked to the purge of the true warriors in the military. Consider this, when you think of American warriors both past and present, where do we find them the most? From the South. You are not going to get them for the Left coast or the very liberal New England states. Destroy the South and you limit the pool of potential warriors, when this country needs to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war

DeleteThere is no purge in the military. None. Not christians, not conservatives and not "warriors". I work in the Pentagon. I first heard rumors of this two years ago and have been watching for evidence of it ever since. There isn't any. Just the normal rotation of people in and out. Normal promotion boards using normal promotion criteria. normal processes establishing normal personnel numbers and policies. The American Thinker is wrong on too many points to bother refuting.
ReplyDeleteThe only "purge" I have seen is how some of my best comments just disappear after I hit "publish".
ReplyDeleteI posted a couple of comments also and because it didn't meet the agenda or
