Biden’s Denigration of American Military Patriots. Part #1
More than 160 flag officers call out Biden’s military mission erosion resulting from his “diversity, equity, and inclusion” mandates.

“Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives.” —John Adams (1808)

Of the four Republican presidents over the last 40 years, three of them — Reagan, George H.W. Bush (USN), and George W. Bush (ANG) — have served our nation with honor and integrity. The fourth, Donald Trump, was a great advocate for our Armed Forces.
On the other hand, Joe Biden and his predecessors, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, had no military service and generally loathed those serving under them as commander-in-chief. In each case, these CINCs significantly eroded our national security, and the results have been disastrous and deadly. Among other threats, Clinton propagated the 9/11 Islamist attack on our nation; Obama and his protege, Hillary Clinton, oversaw the rise of the Islamic State and 2014 invasion of Ukraine; and that inept and vacuous appeaser, Joe Biden, has choreographed our disastrous surrender and retreat from Afghanistan and the second invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The latter invasion is an ongoing and perilous threat to NATO and, by extension, our national security posed by Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin.
One of the many ways that Biden defames those who have died in the service of our nation is his oft-repeated lie that his son Beau was killed in Iraq. He repeated that lie again last week in Japan to Marines at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, telling them: “My son was a major in the U.S. Army. We lost him in Iraq.”
That is just one of a long list of Biden’s pathological lies, which the Leftmedia talking-heads don’t question.
With that as a backdrop, ahead of our nation’s annual Memorial Day observance honoring those who have actually died in the uniformed services of our nation, defending American Liberty in accordance with their sacred oaths “to support and defend” our Constitution, a large contingent of retired senior military officers is taking aim at Biden for his disgraceful assault on military readiness and morale.
The membership of the organization, Flag Officers 4 America, is described as follows: “We are retired military leaders who pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Although retired from active service, each of us feels bound by that oath to do what we can, in our capacity today, to protect our nation from the threats to her freedom.”
We last heard from them when they petitioned Congress to hold Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley responsible for the catastrophically failed exfil from Afghanistan. Of course, that did not happen.
Now, more than 160 flag officers have launched their latest effort in a letter to House leaders, calling out Biden for systemic military mission erosion, the result of his “diversity, equity, and inclusion” mandates. Among them are former National Security Advisor V Adm John Poindexter (USN), Medal of Honor recipient Maj. Gen. James E. Livingston (USMC), and former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Lt Gen William Gerald Boykin (USA).
They are requesting that Congress ensure no diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and programs promoted by Biden’s woke cadres at the Pentagon are included in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. Despite the Biden administration’s claim in March that DOD disbanded its DEI initiatives, they are still embedded in the NDAA budget.
And lest you think that retired officers challenge a sitting commander-in-chief at no risk, as our military analyst Gen. B.B. Bell notes, the reason more retired officers are reluctant to stand up for our military ranks is that retirees could still be subject to an Article 88 UCMJ violation. Thus, those like Bell who do stand up for their fellow warriors deserve our respect and gratitude.
I am reprinting the letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in full because it also serves as an exposition on the rot that DEI creates within any organization in which it’s implemented. But when it metastasizes in our military ranks, that rot becomes very dangerous.
