this is straightforwardly an effort to try to re-segregate the officer corps

Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.

-Him threatening to sick the feds on his enemies and leftists
-Somehow campaign with people under the impression of a "peacebringer" when he'll obviously escalate tensions abroad
-Being mentally incapacitated that others step in to lead in his stead
We're gonna be facing a couple of Red Summers, aren't we no doubt?
Loyal to Trump not to the Constitution.
They can however be reassigned, denied promotion etc all of which would take years.
What that means is "Woke" won't go easily.
Ten minutes with Trump's actual bio (not the one he makes up on the fly) would have predicted this with 100% accuracy because the guy is & has always been a one trick pony...
But objecting about recruiting at HBCUs pretty much gives the game away.
Using “woke” is just the excuse for a purge of anyone they think won’t fall in line with Trump.
But, Unfortunately as we’ve been witnessing for yrs. the constitution and the ‘law’ no longer matter
They’re irrelevant to #Republicans
JFC America!
WTF did you do?!?
This should be known since 1933. Should. But people seem to think this time it’s gonna be different.
If those were the *only* schools where recruitment took place, they might have a point, but this just sounds like "reaching out to a wide variety of institutions"
The recruits can't all come from Hillcrest College of Retvrn Studies
A law induced coup is in order and we’d better get on it.
Did top brass know about this yea and did they do anything. To reform and purge home grown terrorists? Not at all those said soldiers protected by their 1st amendment rights.
We are in so much trouble.
This needs to be stopped
As a veteran, I hope it passes the test before it.
Yeah same story is gonna happen with a majority of them.
Two sexes: male or political
Two orientations: straight or political
Two opinions: MAGA or political
Then they go after the people that are too “political”
But if you want to oppose it meaningfully, it should also be pointed out that it's incredibly racist.
If a military unit can be made a defacto wing of a single political party, then why cant Corporations also "bear arms" in the form of private military units?
"General Grimace will see you now."
that will do it
Use term limits to purge all the SCOTUS judges who aren't MAGA.
Ta da... Trump just established himself as Emperor of America.
There are lots of minorities in the military, this will inhibit others from joining
Is he doing this because putin told him to?
Most of the Army officers I knew were white anyway
It is such a huge mistake to turn the US over to trump! We will never regain what we're giving up.
"when an individual becomes more aware of social injustice"
it's not bad to be woke
He likely has many police forces on side.
This is him trying to get the military on side.
ABCs of dictatorship.
Oh wait.
A lot of people just didn't show up.
Apart from that, a military, alienated from the people, will not be willing to save the rulers at crunch time.
Syria last week. As just one example.
For the record, a VERY SMALL amount of our recruits actually come from colleges in the first place.
The military is missing goal and they are trying to target ANY place they can find people who want to serve.
It means we were going to EVERY college and EVERY high school, you know, like I literally said. The fact that they were saying recruiting was doing that is complete bullshit.
These idiots…
I know some of them.eill take defense consultants jobs but a small percentage of them will probably mentally crack
Plenty of hispanic men also were born here to illegal parents, who might also be in trouble.
I know, purge out the black & brown folks.
But how do you purge out white men like Adam Kinzinger, a Republican white man, voted for Trump once and enlisted.
He'll kick your asses upside down, inside out & backwards. But you wouldn't have purged him.

No one in their right mind ever believed T* wld or cld bring back the Obama-era economy, nor hv they truly forgotten the covid collapse.
It's T*'s hate that pushes him through.
Folks want a target when they can't pay their bills. Billionaires say "look here➡️"
First stop, let’s drop soldier trying to be nice human beings.
As I write this I realise those brain rotten idiots would actually find the previous sentence reasonable…
oof
wilson's tyrannical behavior seems like something we should expect from trump, such as the way he had goons go to homes of dissenters and reporters
we also know how wilson wielded propaganda
