Warfighting • Lethality • Meritocracy • Accountability • Readiness

Hello STARRS,

Since July 2020, STARRS has tracked, monitored and exposed the Marxist CRT/DEI woke agenda in the US military and our nation's service academies in order to show the danger of this ideology and how it negatively affects recruitment, retention, morale and readiness. We also worked on the C19 vax mandate issue pertaining to service members. Our purpose is education and awareness for an informed citizenry. Now we are tracking the REMOVAL of the divisive CRT/DEI ideology from the military and a return to merit and common sense.

Recent Quotes on X from SECDEF Pete Hegseth:

• "Our troops will be fit — not fat. Our troops will look sharp — not sloppy. We seek only quality — not quotas. BOTTOM LINE: our @DeptofDefense will make standards HIGH & GREAT again — across the entire force."

• "The @DeptofDefense does not do climate change crap. We do training and warfighting."

• "Thank you @infantrydort — we won’t be perfect, but we will give it everything we have & will never back down. America First, warfighters always."

Some responses to increase in recruiting:

CSAF Gen. David Allvin posted on X: "BREAKING NEWS! Our recruiting numbers in Dec, Jan, & Feb were the best in 15 years! As @secdef said Americans are excited to join, which is why we have 13K recruits in our Delayed Entry Program--most in nearly 10 years! All recruiting stats look GREAT even w/ 20% goal hike in '25."

Comments:

"I wonder what the leadership lesson is here? Did we spend more money? I don't think so. Did we increase thousands of recruiters? Perhaps. Or did we just appeal to badass people who want to serve their country? Did we just make it ok for people be proud to be American? Interesting."

"It’s no coincidence that numbers started to improve the moment Trump was elected! As an AF retiree I was discouraging my boys from joining under the Biden Administration. Things are different now."

"I have a nephew who joined the Air Force after President Trump won the election."

"My 21 year old grandson is considering joining the US Army because of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. He'll make a great soldier. Thank you from Oregon!"

"Amazing what happens when you treat the military like they should instead of being a woke social experiment."

"Gee. It's almost like people want to be part of a WARRIOR ethos and not a Marxist LGBTQ DEI experiment."

E Pluribus Unum – Unity is America’s Strength

Wake Up, Stand Up, Speak Up and Never Give Up!

We are US military veterans and citizens concerned about the divisive racist and radical CRT/DEI ideology infiltrating the military and seek to expose, stand up against, and eliminate it in order to keep our country safe.

Please support the mission, thank you!
