China is laughing all the way to their nuclear arms depot.
What a joke this country has become under Joe Biden.
'Military leaders 'cowering to wokeism,' charges Trump-backed candidate
U.S. armed forces 'not a place for weakness, whether it be physical or
mental''

'With ever-increasing reports that Americas military readiness is
degrading at an alarming rate, thanks to leftist ideologues imposing
wokeism, radical diversity and sensitivity training up and down the
ranks, one decorated Navy veteran and congressional candidate is loudly
sounding the alarm.
Jerrod Sessler, candidate for the Republican seat in central
Washingtons 4th congressional district endorsed by President Donald
Trump, Gen. Michael Flynn, the House Freedom Caucus and other
conservatives spoke to WND candidly about his concerns.
Considering himself a constitutionalist, Sessler unapologetically
affirms that "America is inspired by God, and when you look at our
Constitution, it would not exist without our God-given natural rights."
Having served in a high-paced environment aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft
carrier, Sessler is concerned, like many current and former service
members, about the alarming state of the nations military readiness.
Completing his tour of duty in 1989, which included both a Western
Pacific (WestPAC) cruise and a Northern Pacific (NorthPAC) cruise, the
former petty officer describes today's military as a "mystery." Indeed,
Sessler tells WND, interactions with service members, veterans and
others have convinced him that "the military is weaker than it's ever
been."
The increasingly troubled state of Americas armed forces, Sessler said,
is directly connected to "military leaders' acceptance of woke ideology
and 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' policy." A recent example he cited
was the LGBTQ+ community promoting "sensitivity training"\ within the
Air Force. And recently, WND published photographic proof of "gender
neutral restrooms" in U.S. military academies.
"What does this do for the American people, and how does this help us be
safer?" he asked.
"I can't imagine the military spending time or wasting time on such
a topic," Sessler lamented. For him, "the military is not a place for
weakness, whether it be physical or mental."
In fact, he said, physical and mental toughness are absolutely required
for the military.
"In boot camp, more people fail mentally than physically," he pointed
out. "You have to be mentally tough to be an asset to our military." He
questioned the mental state of some service members, pointing out that
"you have open mental illness [in the military] with people parading
around in drag clothes." For Sessler, "thats absolutely unacceptable
and only weakens the state of our military."
Likewise, he noted, mental weakness is also pervasive in leadership, for
a variety of reasons. Indeed, much of todays military ":leadership is
cowering to wokeism at the cost of American security."
"The Army," Sessler told WND, "has lost a third of its doctors and is
mothballing a tenth of the workhorse Blackhawk helicopters." While press
releases suggested "it is a planned obsolescence," he said, "the truth
is, we do not have the personnel."
"Ineffective leaders kick the can down the road by accepting the woke
ideology, but that form of weakness," the congressional candidate
warned, "comes at the cost of our military readiness and that leaves
the American people unsafe during a time when we really need to know we
are secure."
To that end, WND reported in March that many service members believed
America could not win a war against a near-peer threat like China, Iran,
North Korea or Russia. Most suggested their units were neither
sufficiently equipped nor trained for combat deployment.
Sessler cant understand why senior military leadership has ignored the
decline in military strength and not taken a stand against woke ideology
and DEI training. He suggested, "It has to do with mental toughness, as
weak leaders are afraid to do what's morally right if they have to risk
their career." While he respects military chain of command, he said that
when it comes to following orders related to adopting woke ideology,
"boldness will yield heightened security for the American people and it
should be pursued, even if it means challenging the chain of command and
risking your career."
According to Sessler, the troubling current state of America and
America's military boils down to two things: "ignorance and apathy."
People need to be aware that this nation and its military are "weaker
than ever," he told WND. And it's equally important for political and
military leaders to show some heightened concern about the current state
of affairs even if they must risk their career to do the right thing.
