Who Really Politicized the Pentagon?


The Pentagon has long been political—Trump's firings aren't new, but their results will reveal if the military is truly depoliticized or just under new management.  [...]

from the time i retired to today, i've seen a steady march towards all the points he listed in that article.
DEI seemed to have overtaken the mission of fighting america's enemies.  i could not see being in the
military through that fiasco.

However I think Trump and Hegseth are hopefully going to turn it around. I think getting the bases renamed is going to help. Although honestly I dont totally disagree with why they changed the names to begin  with. Naming them back, but after other people was a good move. I went back for a reunion at Ft. Benning last Spring. Amazing how much has changed 

 

BTW America should be capitalized. Sorry I am a bit ####### about Grameeer
