Acting Secretary of the U.S. Navy
Thomas Harker recently stated that the navy’s
priorities will be to prevent sexual assault and to encourage sailors to
seek mental health care, particularly in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Harker
actually recorded a video message to the fleet in which he admitted he himself
has sought counseling on several occasions. No surprise there. Too bad it’s
apparently not helping.
The navy—and other branches of the
military wouldn’t have to worry as much about sexual assault…or mental health
counseling, for that matter…if it hadn’t allowed women to serve alongside men
in close quarters and even in combat situations. And, is the stress from
possibly contracting the coronavirus, which has a nearly 100% survival rate for
healthy young people, worse than that of battling the enemy in combat?
Tragically, the cultural rot
infecting nearly all other American institutions, and rot it is, is now attacking
the United States military. The demented progressives now in charge of much of
the nation’s government and military-industrial complex are far more interested
in using the military as a sort of social-engineering petri dish than as the sword
and shield protecting the country that it was supposed to be. Speaking of
mental illness, it is bat-guano crazy to do this, especially at a time when our
armed forces should be laser-focused on deterring China, Russia, Iran, and
other current and potential adversaries.
Yet, if the ever elusive—and to
hear the mainstream media talk, ever present and ever growing—ranks of white
supremacists should take to the oceans, you can bet the Biden administration
would immediately propose tripling the number of ships in the fleet.
Harker is at sea, though not in the
literal sense of the term. As are so many others currently ensconced in the
upper echelon of American government.
This is a Dunkirk moment for
America, albeit one of our own making. If we don’t dispense with frivolous trivialities
and outright hoaxes such as the 1619 Project, critical race theory, the exponential
expansion of genders, wokeness, and assorted other politically correct inanities,
and start seriously addressing the all-too-real threats posed by China, Russia,
Iran, and North Korea, for example, we will have missed the proverbial boat.
And missing that vessel could turn out to be
fatal to the Republic…for which Harker and his government comrades supposedly
stand.
