Degradation and Restoration of America's Armed Forces

Over the previous four years, our military service personnel have suffered an enervating shortfall in morale. Sorry to say, it is cyclical, because American voters, the vast majority of whom have never served our nation in any capacity have quadrennially elected leaders who were inept. Mercifully, they wake up and elect unpretentious genuine leaders whose tenure as commander-in-chief restores both military morale and readiness.

As a retired Army officer, I have seen the cycle of degradation and restoration multiple times. Under Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter, there was degradation, followed by Reagan's restoration. Similarly, Clinton led to degradation, Bush restored, then Obama degraded, and Trump restoration. The Biden/Harris administration continued the degradation, which was again followed by Trump's restoration.

Recently, President Trump's Secretary of Defense delivered a keynote address for a Special Operations Forces event, and one line summed up the restoration of Department of Defense under Trump: "Everything starts and ends with warriors, from training to the battlefield. We are leaving wokeness and weakness behind. No more pronouns. No more climate change obsession. No more emergency vaccine mandates. No more dudes in dresses, we're done with that s_ _t."

It is by the grace of God that this 250th year of the founding of our Armed Forces, and next year's Sester centennial commemoration of American Independence, did not fall under the farcical, absurd, daft...  administration of the Harris/Walz duo.
