Well, first of all, I guess I would say I echo everything that's been said to date. To me, the essence of this is clarity. I mean, candor. Let's just employ some common sense and speak plainly about this.
What is happening at the Department of Defense is not inadvertent. It's not innocent. It's not accidental. Right. This this is not just happening. And people are stumbling, stumbling along, and maybe it's going to turn out badly. This is all very deliberate, as you say, all the time. Let's just talk about what's really happening here.
This is Marxist ideology being pushed into the military as it is being pushed across our society with a very explicit agenda. The agenda of Marxism is the destruction, the complete destruction of the existing economic, social and political order.

That's what's happening.
And somehow, we have a Department of Defense that has absorbed this and is now pushing it. And people who are completely immersed in this ideology are now in charge.
Let's just talk about one little tiny piece. Fitness reports in the United States military. It is now mandated, not suggested, not encouraged, not tolerated, mandated that when you write fitness reports, you write them using gender neutral language. You cannot use the words he, him, his, her. You write in this crazy gender-neutral language where you actually use plural pronouns so they and their means a person of indeterminate gender.
That's madness. The American people don't buy that. They don't speak that way. We don't talk that way. And nobody's ever accepted that that's even correct grammar. And yet the commissars at the Department of Defense have decreed this.
Obviously, that's a small yet in-your-face piece of this all day, every day. You know, General Boykin, not surprisingly, since he's been one of the great warriors of our time, grasped the essence of this, why are we the preeminent military power on the planet? It's not JDAMs and jeeps. It's cohesion.
When the first Marine Division survived [the Battle of] Chosin Reservoir, destroyed eight Chinese divisions and marched out of North Korea in good order, They did it with what were effectively leftover World War two era weapons, and yet they destroyed the enemy, crushed them and marched out. And that is what we're losing. And it is not unintentional. It is not accidental. It is not an incidental impact. That's what's at stake.
Back to you, sir.
