In recent years, the U.S. armed services have been subjected to a “fundamental transformation.” They have been radically morphed by successive political leaders from highly disciplined and professional military organizations – thanks to their historic and rigorous attachment to and promotion of the nation’s traditional values and merit-based promotions – into demoralized, undermanned and inadequately equipped organizations that reward attachment to cultural Marxist “woke” policies, rather than war-fighting performance.
There could hardly be a more dangerous time for the American military to be in such dire straits. The Chinese Communist Party is transparently preparing for a shooting war with America. It allies in Russia and Iran are actively engaged in violent conflicts in their respective regions. North Korea is poised to exploit the intensifying domestic instability in South Korea. Venezuela has declared its intention to invade Guyana. And other potential hotspots from North Africa to the Indian subcontinent to NATO Europe could go supernova at any time.
During the 2024 election campaign, Donald Trump promised to restore our armed forces by rooting out wokeism in the ranks and the general officers who have helped impose it. He has also pledged to rebuild our arsenal and reestablish deterrence.
The Save America’s Military Coalition was founded in 2023 for the purpose of advancing just such policy and programmatic changes by calling out the damage that has been done to our men and women in uniform under the radical agendas of previous administrations and the grave dangers associated with them.
The Coalition looks forward to helping the incoming administration effect the needed course-corrections in the hope of saving America’s military, we pray before our assorted enemies exploit its present, acute vulnerabilities and those our nation has as a result
The Institute for the American Future enthusiastically supports the Save America’s Military Coalition’s mission and seeks to help in its actualization in any way possible.
