In the midst of all the chaos we are hearing with Russia invading Ukraine, with threats from China, this is an important time to re-examine the readiness of our military.
Unfortunately, the infecting culture that continues to quickly perverse the airwaves of our nation, as also made its way to our military. The “woke” military ideology, that so many current and veteran service members have been raising the alarm on, is damaging to our national security.
According to military leaders, recruitment for our armed forces is down. Way down. So far down that it is comparable to low recruitment numbers following the Vietnam War.
U.S. House Representative Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, one of the Republican leaders in military personnel policy in Congress, has said that “we are on the cusp of a military recruiting crisis. When Republicans take control of Congress in a few months, averting the recruiting crisis will be a top priority.”
But until November, where do we stand now? Recent Gallup polls show that 42% of Americans feel that our national defense needs to be stronger. If that number seems low, well at least it’s higher than another poll Gallup did – this time on how many Americans are extremely proud of our country. Only 38% are.
No wonder recruitment numbers are so low. We continue to see this relentless drive to enforce conformity within the military with a preferred leftist narrative.
And while the news headlines are dominated with the serious threats from the imposing anti-democratic nations of Russia and China, the Biden Administration continues to claim that climate change is our biggest threat.
Meanwhile, there are good soldiers, men and women who have dedicated their lives to our protection and the defense of liberty, who are being forced out for not wanting to take a vaccine.
Looking at these circumstances, is it any wonder why military recruitment numbers are down? As Americans watch events unfold all over the world, we must refocus on what is going on in our own country.
If we lose a sense of the importance and relevance of our nation, our founding ideals, then we are only providing opportunities for the nations looking to eradicate those ideals.
As Lincoln said, Liberty must never perish from the Earth. As Reagan said, we must project peace through strength. Yet, what are we hearing from our leaders right now?
While we see true strength everyday from the dedication of the many men and women in our armed forces all around the world. Unfortunately, that strength is lost amongst our leadership.

Biden is wrong to support Supreme Court reform
The Supreme Court’s public legitimacy crisis continues to escalate after it issued a series of major recent decisions perceived by many Americans as overtly partisan, most recently the July 1 ruling in Trump v.

Black Americans should vote for Donald Trump
In the 2020 elections, 92% of single-race Black, non-Hispanic voters cast their ballots for President Joe Biden, while only 8% voted for Donald Trump. That one-sided turnout followed a summer of nationwide protests against police violence largely organized by Black Americans in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and then-President Trump’s crackdown on those protests…
