Woke Policies are Destroying the Military from the Inside Out

STARRS held a Joint Town Hall with the MacArthur Society of West Point Graduates and the Calvert Task Group. The guest speaker was Amber Smith, former Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Outreach in Public Affairs. Amber is a former U.S. Army OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot and air mission commander in the 101st Airborne Division and flew two combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is also the author of the recent book, "Unfit to Fight: How Woke Policies Are Destroying Our Military", a topic of great concern to all three organizations.

This episode only covers Amber's talk and Q&A portion, not the rest of the Joint Town Hall.

The woke agenda being pushed by the Pentagon is undermining the very fabric of our military. Listen to a talk by Amber Smith, an Army veteran, author, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Outreach, as she covers the critical issues facing the U.S. military today. Amber offers a sobering analysis from her book, "Unfit to Fight: How Woke Policies are Destroying Our Military," and reflects on her experiences as a Kiowa helicopter pilot in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This episode unveils the pressing need for a mission-centric meritocracy, underscoring the complexities of global threats and internal woke policies in the military that jeopardize national security.

Amber dissects the alarming decline in accountability and professional standards among top military leadership. She draws stark comparisons between the rigorous standards of World War II and today's leniency, calling for Congressional intervention to enforce stricter oversight. She says that true meritocracy and diversity of thought are essential to restore the U.S. military's strength and effectiveness and to reject woke policies that do not contribute to its mission readiness.

Amber also shares her personal journey, revealing the inspiration behind her book and her mission to address the real crises within the military, such as recruitment and retention challenges and the infiltration of wokeism. She offers guidance to young women in the military on how to earn respect through professionalism and excellence. The Q&A portion concludes with reflections on courage, responsibility, and the indispensable role of integrity and effective communication in advocating for change. This powerful talk by Amber Smith is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the future of our armed forces.
