"All warfare is based on deception," Sun Tzu once said. And the best form of warfare is deceiving and manipulating your enemy so thoroughly that you can win without firing a shot. And that is just what the left has done if news coming from our woke Department of Defense demonstrates anything.
The Daily Wire recently leaked evidence of a hilariously woke glossary for use among the National Security Agency (NSA), containing howlers such as "genderqueer," "white fragility," "intersectionality," "Assigned Male/Female at Birth," and "neocolonialism." All meaningless words that were designed purely to be used as weapons to silence unfavorable viewpoints.
More importantly, this is just the cherry on top of a near-$270 million sundae for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be force-fed to people across the armed forces, including $68 million going toward "unconscious bias diversity training" and "increasing aviation scholarships for underrepresented universities Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets" in the Air Force.
So white Air Force members are being forced to walk on unnecessary eggshells around the non-white members, and officers are being chosen based on having the right skin color and body configuration.
Clearly, the brass have their priorities in order.

But wait, it gets better.
Out in North Dakota, Turning Point Action held a "Dakota Patriot Rally" in the town of Minot this past Friday. Servicemembers stationed in the nearby Air Force base were warned against attending because Turning Point and Tyler Bowyer, who was hosting the event, are "alt-right."
First off, who still says "alt-right" in 2023? Secondly, if Turning Point is alt-right, then Joe Manchin is as leftist as AOC.
Fox News described how a text message was sent out to people on the Minot Air Force base telling them to "exercise caution" if they were in town during the rally and that "participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the U.S. military."
Yes, really. Members of our armed forces cannot exercise the very rights they give their lives to uphold and protect. I wish I was making this up, but sadly this is Clown World, where such stupidity is commonplace.
More insidiously, this is just the latest instance of how the left plays the long game to weaken the U.S. from within, even in the places we think their slimy tentacles wouldn't be able to get a grip.
Antonio Gramsci is attributed with saying that for the left to win, they would have to subvert the institutions (culture, bureaucracy, politics, education, etc.) opposed to them by worming their way through them. He called this "the long march through the institutions."

And clearly they're marching right alongside our own soldiers.
If it is any consolation, Representatives Mike Waltz and Cory Mills, both Florida Republicans (from adjoining districts, no less) and combat veterans, are going after the little gremlins responsible for this nonsense. Hopefully at least part of the damage will be undone.
But the rot runs deep, and it will take a lot more work to turn our military into something fearsome again.
Just pray our next president is a Republican who loves the military.
