The Pentagon is at war — with the morale of American troops. A soldier forced to pay through the nose for expensive gear Biden forced him to leave to the Taliban is emblematic.

Fumes Catherine Salgado:

It has seemed fairly obvious, especially since the disastrous withdrawal that left thousands of Americans and allies stranded in the hellhole of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, that the Biden administration hates our military. Congressmen were exempted from the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates, but West Point cadets and military members had to get jabbed or get sacked. The Biden administration is still pouring billions of dollars we don’t have into Ukraine, where a horrifying number of young Ukrainian men have died for no purpose; and the government has new wads of cash to expend on toxic, inefficient, and unreliable “green” energy. But one soldier who is separating from the military found that the Army expected him to cough up between $500 and $1,000 to pay for military gear that the soldier was told he had to leave behind in Afghanistan!

When he abruptly surrendered to the Taliban, Biden gifted the terrorists who provided a launching pad for 9/11 with $billions worth of military gear paid for by American taxpayers. Crossing the line into straightforward treason, Democrats continue to shovel our money at the Taliban.

Let’s have the former soldier’s firsthand account:

Key quote from a patriot upon leaving the armed forces:

“I’m very, very excited to stop serving my government and just getting started serving my country.”

Speaking of nonsensical Covid vaccine mandates, the Pentagon wants those kicked out for not risking their health by complying to come back:

According to a letter signed by Army Director of Personnel Management Brigadier General Hope Rampy, former soldiers who were discharged due to Covid-19 vaccine refusal can request a correction of their military records. The letter provides guidance on contacting recruiters to return to service. It is unclear if returning soldiers will rejoin their former units or Military Occupational Specialties.

In February of 2022, the Army began discharging servicemen who did non comply with Covid vaccine mandate. At that time, more than 3,000 troops had requested permanent medical or religious exemptions, with only six being granted, according to official data.

The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act compelled the defense secretary to rescind the vaccine mandate, with the Army officially suspending separation actions for non-compliant soldiers in February 2023.

It is doubtful there will be many takers.

You could almost suspect that under Democrat rule the Pentagon is controlled by people who believe America is inherently bad and want to destroy it from within. With apologies to Robert Hanlon, never attribute to malice or incompetence what can be more accurately attributed to both.

While the Border Patrol focuses on alternate pronouns in hopes that a significant number of the millions of Third World welfare colonists pouring across the open border to displace us are sexually deranged, the Pentagon neglects national security in favor of leftist indoctrination:

The DOD has scaled up its spending on DEIA in the past three years, jumping from $68 million in fiscal year 2022 to $86.5 million in fiscal year 2023. But the figure surged another $28.2 million to $114.7 million in the department’s initial request for fiscal year 2024.

DEIA = diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Not only white males and heterosexuals are disfavored, but also the physically able.

If the DOD’s initial request for DEIA funding is included in the final legislation, the department will have spent $269.2 million on diversity initiatives across fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, an average of $89.7 million per year.

To finance this obscene waste, the regime debases the currency by printing more money. That is, Democrats steal the money from our savings.

The gargantuan sums signify priorities:

The department’s Strategic Management Plan for fiscal years 2022 to 2026 listed one of its goals as “inculcate DEIA principles across all DOD efforts.”

Here’s what that means:

The National Security Agency (NSA), which is part of the DOD, internally published a 34-page diversity, equity, and inclusion document, a recent investigation from The Daily Wire revealed. The leaked document pushes Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology, with terms like “white fragility,” “transmisogny,” “settler colonialism,” and even the pronouns “ze” and “zir.”

None of this will stop the ChiComs from invading Taiwan — or California for that matter.

It isn’t intended to. The military has been repurposed. If it existed to defend the country, it would be deployed to stop the invasion at the southern border. The purpose of the Pentagon is the same as for the rest of the federal bureaucracy: to funnel our money into the advancement of leftist ideology.

Democrats in the Senate have said that any budget proposal from House Republicans that reigns in diversity initiatives will have “no chance of passing.”

If we fail to scrape Democrats from power, not only will we lose WWIII, we will deserve to lose it.

Meanwhile,

The news comes only days after it was announced that the Pentagon failed its yearly audit for the sixth time in a row. As The Hill noted, auditors “found that half of the [DoD’s] assets can’t be accounted for.”

There are more immediate threats than communist China. America is getting looted to death by its enemies within.

What greater insult to veterans than to present this senile husk of a left-wing corruptocrat…

…as Commander in Chief?

From the New York Post:

Biden needed stage directions from a military member during the solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Veterans Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery Saturday. …

The military member pointed a gloved hand back toward Vice President Kamala Harris, who was standing several feet away, and the president returned to his mark beside her.

Harris and Denis McDonough, Biden’s Secretary for Veterans Affairs, both appeared to be suppressing grins as the president dithered.

Compounding the insult, Biden scolded the military for not always having been devoted to sexual perversion:

“We have doubled down on our efforts to ensure … that no veteran is denied the honor they earn because there was discharged for being LBTQ plus,” he mumbled.

Admittedly, keeping the acronym straight isn’t easy, with social engineers constantly adding in new forms of sexual derangement for us to revere.

Why not appoint Rashida Tlaib Commander in Chief? She can hawk up a gob of spit and let fly at the Tomb. It wouldn’t be much worse than this

The precipitous decline of a hegemonic power guarantees major war. The degenerating USA is unlikely to win it. Already, Pentagon brass consists of Democrats more interested in promoting perversion than in winning battles. As for troops on the ground, you can draft this guy, but you can’t make him beat the Chinese:

There are still true warriors in the US military, but the longer liberals remain predominant, the fewer we will have when we need them — and we are going to need them badly if we continue to decay politically and culturally.

Of all the disgraces history will curse Biden for, the most infuriating may be his betrayal of US troops serving in Afghanistan. His treatment of their survivors has been appalling:

The emotional testimony this week by the families of the 13 U.S. service members killed during President Biden’s chaotic military withdrawal in Afghanistan has cast renewed scrutiny on the president’s past treatment of Gold Star families. …

The U.S. military evacuation, which required thousands of additional U.S. troops on the ground and significant cooperation from the Taliban to complete, ended a day ahead of deadline on Aug. 30, 2021, leaving behind hundreds of U.S. citizens and tens of thousands of Afghan allies despite Biden’s promise days earlier to “get them all out.”

By “evacuation,” they mean unconditional surrender to the sandal-wearing savages who provided Al Qaeda the base from which to launch 9/11.

There has been no accountability, despite the Americans killed or abandoned, and despite the $billions worth of military equipment paid for by Americans and gifted by Biden to the Taliban.

“We were told lies, given incomplete reports, incorrect reports, total disrespect,” [Gold Star mother Kelly] Barnett said. “I was told to my face [son Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover] died on impact. That’s not true. The only reason that I know this is because witnesses told me the truth. I was lied to and basically told to shut up.”

Shana Chappell, mother of Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui, sounded off on Facebook about a meeting with Biden:

“You tried to interrupt me and give me your own sob story and I had to tell you, ‘This isn’t about you so don’t make it about you!’” Chappell wrote. “You then said you just wanted me to know that you know how I feel and I let you know that you don’t know how I feel and you do not have the right to tell me you know how I feel! You then rolled your f— eyes in your head like you were annoyed with me and I let you know that the only reason I was talking to you was out of respect for my son.”

Far from accepting meaningful responsibility for the debacle, Biden wouldn’t even stop looking at his watch as the corpses of Americans he had gotten killed were returned:

Darin Hoover, father of Utah Marine Darin Taylor Hoover Jr., said the president looked down at his watch not once but several times as the caskets were being offloaded.

“That didn’t happen just once. It happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one, all 13, he looked down at his watch,” Hoover said on Fox News’ “Hannity” in 2021.

Further, Biden insultingly steals valor by lying to Gold Star families that his son Beau died in Iraq.

As the cherry on top, he continues to shovel our money at the Taliban he surrendered to:

A report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction that was released a week ago found that since the American military left Kabul with 13 U.S. service members killed and with billions of dollars in equipment left behind, money has continued to flow in. …

“The U.S. government has appropriated more than $2.35 billion in [fiscal year] 2022 and [fiscal year] 2023 funding for Afghanistan reconstruction programming since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021,” the report stated.

This goes beyond treason to something so vile we have no word for it.

Here a Gold Star father calls on Biden and his stooges to have the honor to resign:

But there is no honor in Biden, or in the liberal establishment he personifies — as CNN demonstrates by ignoring the testimony:

Last night at Truman Civil Rights Symposium, the Commander in Chief crowed triumphantly that what’s left of the USA has “the most diverse fighting fice … in the history of the world”:

Biden misspoke of course. He meant to say “fighting farce.” Not that the transsexuals who have been prioritized are expected to fight — they are too privileged for that.

The US military is no farce yet. But with the likes of Biden at the top, implementing their agenda through Pentagon brass comprised of moonbats, it will be soon.
