Memo to the Senate: Stop the Marxist Takedown of Our Military! The U.S. Senate must reject Marxist leaders for the U.S. Military Services

Vivek Ramaswamy for President Campaign Surrogate; Former Deputy Director of National Operations for the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security
It's an honor to be invited to participate on such a distinguished panel. I currently serve as a defense and foreign policy advisor to the 2024 campaign, and I can tell you that America's military has no greater champion than Vivek Ramaswamy.
Vivek supports a policy of peace through strength and contrast to Biden's policy of war through weakness. And he believes that the US military's mission should be refocused on homeland and strategic defense against existential threats against which American remains virtually defenseless today, rather than on the man-made climate change hoax and woke Marxist indoctrination. He supports increasing our defense budget to 4% nearly $1.1 trillion, rebuilding the US military strength along with ending America's dependence on communist China for the production of many, if not most, of the most critical components of our advanced weapons systems is a vital element of his strategy to defeat communist China's bid for global hegemony. Fighting the woke culturally Marxist agenda, including racial quotas, CRT and trans ideology, including Biden's attempted Soviet Sovietization of the US military, has been a core principle of Vivek's campaign from the moment he declared to serve as America's commander in chief back in February. And of course, he wrote a book on this very subject called ‘Woke Inc’ back in 2020.
As you know and as you mentioned, Vivek was the only presidential candidate with the courage to issue a press release against the nomination of woke culturally Marxist General Brown for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Not only did Vick oppose Brown's promotion, but he actually called for him to be fired based on his performance as chief of staff, the Air Force, in which he essentially ran the US Air Force into the ground with its military readiness, being moving from being rated marginal to very weak, according to a recent Heritage Foundation report.
As Vivek has stated, increasing racial discord will serve to decrease and degrade the US military's mission. Success and safety of the brave men and women who serve serve us in uniform.
He strongly supports Senator Tommy Tuberville and his courageous opposition to the promotion of not only Brown in this recent vote, but also dozens of liberal woke US military officers.
He also believes that military promotion should be based not on adherence to woke Marxist ideology, nor should it be based on racial quotas. Rather, he believes it should be based solely on merit. He understands how critical it is if we are to be successful in deterring communist Chinese military aggression, specifically against Taiwan, where a communist Chinese attack appears likely to occur in the next few years, the US military must be led by competent leaders focused on the overriding priority of increasing and not decreasing US military readiness to fight a great power war.
[Vivek] believes that woke Marxist indoctrination of our military is severely impacting US military recruitment efforts and serves to demoralize our military service members unnecessarily. He supports the efforts of all organizations, including Save America's Military, which stand with him in opposition to the transformation of our military into an ideological training ground for woke, cultural Marxist ideology and which is strongly supported by our adversaries as a means of severely weakening the fighting capabilities of the US armed forces to ensure that we are unable to fight, let alone win, a war with communist China and its treaty allies.
Finally, Vivek is committed to continuing to oppose the promotions and nominations of other woke US military leaders to top leadership positions in. The US armed forces and as President he will be committed to nominating. Us military leaders to oppose woke ideology and support the core mission. Of US armed forces, which is to protect, preserve and defend the United States of America and its citizens.
Thank you.
