The US Air Force is Broken

If you need another reason why Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles “C.Q.” Brown is a #woke threat to the US military and national security (he is nominated to be the new head of the joint chiefs), we’ve got it.

 

Enter USAF Col. Benjamin Jonsson. He was nominated by *President Biden to be promoted to brigadier general. Col. Jonsson is white. And “woke.”

Col. Jonsson believes the “problem” with the Air Force is “white colonels” like himself—but not really him, just all the other white colonels.

After the death of Saintly George Floyd, Jonsson penned an article for Air Force Times “calling out” his fellow Caucasian USAF colonels.

“As white colonels, you and I are the biggest barriers to change if we do not personally address racial injustice in our Air Force,” Col. Jonsson began.

 

Jonsson is a product of General Brown’s Air Force and, like Brown, thinks there is too much whiteness and too many white people in the US Air Force. But is you call him out, he’s got the pat progressive response.

 

“Defensiveness is a predictable response by white people to any discussion of racial injustice,” Col. Justice Warrior continued. “White colonels are no exception. We are largely blind to institutional racism, and we take offense to any suggestion that our system advantaged us at the expense of others. …

“Start by developing a game plan, he preached. “A good primer is to read or listen to the short book, ‘White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism,’ by Robin DiAngelo. Dear white colonel, it is time to give a damn. Aim High.”

 

Which is a very strange thing to say about voluntary service. Maybe the Air Force is like Hockey. People of color would rather be somewhere else. It’s not the NHL’s fault if a person with brown skin prefers Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, or Football. Why can’t this also apply to states like New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont (more than just mostly white and cool or cold seven months out of twelve, or the Air Force?

Gotta be racism or some sort of supremacy or tunnel vision or something.

How about Obama-style white guilt as a vehicle for false morality? A problem manufactured by cultural Marxists for the same Marxists to “solve.” Translated, that means the systemic destruction of American institutions by progressives.

The goal isn’t diversity or equity, they are certainly not color-blind, so the only goal left is weakening the country, and a dysfunctional fighting force will get you there.

Reminder

General Charles “C.Q.” Brown’s Senate vote for confirmation as the new head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is in a few weeks. Should he succeed in the appointment, we can expect every branch to bend (or bend further) to his #woke agenda.

Contact your US Senator and ask them to vote against his nomination.
