Woke Policies Have Consequences
“I am retired from just short of 37 years of Military service and right now I would direct people to not let their children join the military right now.”
“My dad and father in law both served in the military, and now my son-in-law is in the Army. He says wokeness is killing the morale of the enlisted men.”
“My son is a Navy Lt flying Seahawks; I'm retired USAF Lt Col/ former pilot of God's gift to man, the UH-1N. I pray for the day he can leave. I could not recommend anyone join today, our oath was to the Constitution, not to ideology. USAFA '90”
“I have a family member who was going to career in the Marines. As soon as his hitch was up he left. Refused to reenlist. Couldn't blame him.”
“It’s no longer the apolitical military the American people can count on. I’m done when I hit my retirement a year from now.”
Navy drag queen fallout:
"I'm a 7 year Navy vet ( 86-91, 01-03 ), I have spoken to many former shipmates and even NROTC kids who tell me that they hate the way that the military is going woke. Is it any wonder why recruitment is down, and now this crap?! THIS crap is one of the reasons why the Navy is hurting for new recruits. And they are only making it worse!"
"I am a 25 year Veteran of the Navy. This saddens me greatly. I never cared what my Sailors did in their private life as long as it did not affect the mission or others. But, now they are putting this type of lifestyle as the face of the new Navy. I am at a loss for words and ashamed of those in command who approve this new woke policy."
“As a former Naval Officer this was the most offensive portrayal of are dedicated military men, women and their families I have ever seen. Someday the people responsible for this will have to face the facts they disgraced our military, undermined our traditions and weakened our nation. I have two teenage children that would love to one day serve this nation in the military. I really cannot support that under the current leadership."
