CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 19, 2022
LOST IN THE FOCUS ON THE UPCOMING ELECTION, GENDER ISSUES, WOKEISM AND PUBLIC SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION IS THE DECLINE IN AMERICA’S MILITARY.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS ON A HERITAGE FOUNDATION STUDY THAT FOUND THE U.S. MILITARY “WEAK” AND “AT GROWING RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF DEFENDING AMERICA’S VITAL INTERESTS. THE WEAK RATING IS DOWN FROM “MARGINAL” A YEAR AGO.
THE INDEX MEASURES THE MILITARY’S ABILITY TO PREVAIL IN TWO MAJOR CONFLICTS AT ONCE. HERITAGE SAYS THE U.S. MILITARY RISKS BEING UNABLE TO HANDLE EVEN A “SINGLE MAJOR CONFLICT” AS IT ALSO TRIES TO DETER ROGUES ELSEWHERE. THE DECLINE, IT SAYS, IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE IN THE NAVY AND AIR FORCE.
WHILE CIVILIAN LEADERS IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOCUS ON IMPOSING CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND GENDER EQUITY ON OUR MILITARY FORCES, WHAT DO YOU THINK CHINA RUSSIA, NORTH KOREA AND IRAN ARE DOING? THEY’RE BUILDING UP THEIR FORCES AND EQUIPMENT.
THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE LIBERALS ARE RUNNING AND RUINING THE GOVERNMENT. MANY ARE HOLDOVERS FROM THE OBAMA YEARS WHO HATE THE MILITARY AND NEVER SERVED. IT’S ONE MORE REASON ELECTIONS MATTER. I’M CAL THOMAS
