Letter to the editor: Biden administration is weakening the military

The Biden administration is weakening our military readiness with their idiotic woke policies. The military is not the place for social experimentation. The teaching that America is inherently racist is detrimental to a cohesive fighting force. The military needs to be colorblind in recruitment, training and promotion of troops. The use of racial- or gender-based quotas in job assignments or promotion will weaken the fighting force. Jobs should be filled with the most qualified available personnel.

President Biden has incorrectly stated that climate change is our greatest threat. He obviously forgot about the Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Iranian and many other potential adversaries. We as a nation owe our military personnel the best equipment and training available to successfully engage and defeat any potential adversaries without unnecessary losses.

I’m certain potential adversaries are not training their military personnel in woke ideologies; rather, their training is focused on how to effectively destroy their adversaries.
