Disorder In The Military Ranks

Wokeness, DEI, And China

We are a country going through numerous philosophical changes. The military is now invoking a wokeness/DEI philosophy. But not everyone is on board with this. Recently a Lieutenant Colonel was fired from the military for writing a book objecting to woke/DEI in the Space Force.

During a podcast promoting his book, Lt. Col. Lohmeier stated that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was promoting “diversity, inclusion, and equity [DIE or DEI],” which are “rooted in critical race theory [CRT], which is rooted in Marxism.” Lohmeier was immediately relieved of command on the grounds of participating in “prohibited partisan political activity.”

The Military has a number of anti-woke members. According to three retired generals in a Washington Post opinion piece, “[A] disturbing number of veterans and even active-duty military members took part in the attack on the Capitol.” The “potential for a total breakdown of the chain of command along partisan lines…is significant should another insurrection occur.”

There is no information about the opinion of current officers, however, the service academies for the military are all woke. In general, the enlistees are not woke and a significant number of them are white males. Wokeness tends to denigrate white males and white European achievements.

How will this play out in a globalized technological world with China increasingly the leader? According to a 2015 article, the Chinese are looking into creating genius babies through genetic engineering. And they seem “mostly interested in (the genetics of) people of Chinese and European descent.”

Are the Chinese white supremacists, hardly? The Chinese chose people of European extraction because of the Innovations, inventions, and the number of Nobel prizes they won. When we talk about metrics we're talking about metrics in a globalized environment where it's hard to fake it.

Another metric factor to consider is how our young adults perform on the PISA performance charts. The PISA is part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Its name stands for Program for International Student Assessment. It's a test given once every 3 years for 15-year-old students on basic reading and Mathematics. Approximately 80 countries participate in this assessment.

The 2018 version is broken down by countries and subgroups in the United States. It shows the scores for Hispanics, Blacks, and Whites. The average scores for Whites are 500, 480 for the overall U.S., 460 for Hispanics, and 418 for Blacks. The 80 countries include China but China is not on that chart nor are Asian students in the United States. If Asian American students were on this chart they'd probably outscore White students.

One of the greatest compliments one ethnic group can give to another is holding their culture and accomplishments in high regard. The Chinese appear to think Western DNA can be useful in creating genius babies in this highly technological world. Another way they complement us is by spying on our technological and engineering accomplishments.

But what happens if China unleashes a massive propaganda campaign about wokeness and the denigration of Western heritage? One Air Force general predicts that we would be at war with China by the year 2025. We are in a highly technological cyber world that will greatly challenge our military response. We need the best and the brightest and we also have to incorporate the best philosophical and historical factors from this increasingly globalized world. Can we do that with a woke military?
