[November 5, 2021] America’s senior Generals and Admirals (both active and retired) have failed the United States. This can be witnessed in their dysfunctional and dangerous behavior. We can see it in their rapid drift away from their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
America’s military has one mission; to protect the security of our nation. That means it must provide a combat-credible military capable of deterring war and, if needed, win any war it is ordered to fight. Period. There is no waffling about this mission. Nothing else matters.
Over the past year, we have seen our military leadership change their mission from deterring and winning wars to focusing their efforts on domestic cultural, social, and political issues. The impact of this drift is less attention to their warfighting mission, putting us all in grave danger.
Much of the failure can be attributed to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a body of Four Star officers representing their service and providing advice to the President of the U.S. They provide various options during times of policy debate, consultation, and crisis.
Genera. Mark Milley, the chairman, has violated laws that, by design, limit his control. Yet, he ordered other top officers to reroute long-held nuclear defense protocols to himself and away from the President. This was a usurpation of power contrary to U.S. law. For that alone, he should be charged and punished. At a minimum, he should resign.1 If he fails to resign, then we no longer have civilian control over the military, and his actions will be a green light to others.
Another severe failure of our military has been to consistently apply the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. It is now widely ignored, at least for Generals and Admirals who violate Article 88 on the prohibition of using “contemptuous words against the President.” For the past four years, our highly decorated active and retired offices attacked the President most viciously. They called Trump a Mussolini-like character, a liar, crazy, Nazi-like, comparing his border policy to the death camps at Auschwitz.
The politicization of our military has reached dangerous levels.2 Many supported the Russian collusion hoax. After being proven wrong, none have withdrawn their reckless words nor apologized. Now, our officers lecture us on controversial issues from “white rage” to the need for women in front-line combat units to transgender policies. This comes at the price of distracting the military command from its primary mission. Our abject defeat in Afghanistan and retreat leaving $85 billion in equipment behind, along with hundreds of U.S. citizens, is telling.
Our enemies are watching.

My greatest fear is that the Biden Administration will use our woke military against the people. With woke generals and admirals in charge, they would gladly follow such anti-American, anti-Constitutional orders. I pray for our souls.

“Safe space” stickers on office doors at the Naval Academy. Officers apologizing for “microaggressions” against Air Force cadets. An Army “gender integration study” urging an end to “hyper-masculinity” in combat-arms units. Power Point presentations teaching commanders about “male pregnancy.” A cover-up, as senior officials placed their thumbs on the scales to ensure the success of the first female candidates at the Army’s legendary Ranger School. These are just a few of the examples documented in this explosive book, Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors are Sabotaging the U.S. Military by former Army Captain, Afghanistan veteran, and attorney James Hasson.
All I can say is wow.
Wow, unnerving, and crazy that our Woke Generals and Admirals are doing such damage to our military readiness, destroying our reputation, degrading our combat effectiveness, and telling the world we are weak, come conquer us.
Gen. Satterfield knows how to hit hard but he also knows how to give us solutions as well. What do you think we should do? It is too easy just to get rid of the woke generals and admirals. There is a cultural problem inside the military that must be ferreted out.
There needs to be some real serious ass wuppin’! Start throwing their asses out with dishonorable discharges. And make it law that anyone with a dishonorable discharge cannot work for the US govt and any company with a dishonorably discharged person cannot work for our govt either. That’s a good start.
We need Gen. Patton more than ever.
Shameful —-
Great article on an unfortunate topic, Gen. Satterfield. Thanks for your shocking words. We all knew this was coming but had hoped for better senior leadership at the General level. Obviously not. I have also lost confidence in our military. And, I never thought the day would come when I would write such words.
Gen. Satterfield has done us a favor by highlighting the failure of our most revered institution. The process of destruction began under Pres Obama and continues apace during Biden’s disasterous reign. Gen. Satterfield, thanks. I took this news badly, of course, as any patriot would. Doing something about it is next on my agenda.
You have no idea how bad it is. Morale is falling like a rock, the gay and trans community is taking over, rape is spiking, theft is going unpunished, the UMCJ is largely ignored, and everybody wants a handout.
Don’t forget that suicide is also up. Biden you own it.
How can it be much worse?
If you are ashamed of our military, you are not alone.

— Pssst, ouch!
Yeah, ouch is right.
Nothing surprises me anymore how far our military has fallen in just a few years. We were on track to do better under Trump, and now Biden has made us the laughing stock of the world.
The Royal Marines defeat the US Marines at the ‘Battle of the Mojave Desert’

Good luck boys, ……Cheers!
US Marines have their butts handed to them by our Brit allies.
Blimey!
The Marines occupy an almost mythic place in many Americans’ minds as an invincible force that runs to the guns and fights no matter what. That’s why it was so shocking to learn that, during a joint training exercise in the Mojave Desert, Britain’s Royal Marines inflicted such a shellacking on the Americans that the latter had to surrender halfway through the exercise. This is a direct result of the Pentagon having gone woke under Obama — something that Trump failed to undo — followed by Biden doubling down on Obama’s policies.
Ack! Terrible. And our Marines wanted a ‘reset” so they could get waxxed again?
This is what happens when leaders take their eye off the ball. SecDEF Austin, are you paying attention? I doubt it. It’s okay because your trans policy is sooooo important that winning at war is unimportant.
We got a butt kickin! Anybody paying attention? Hello?
You are soooooo right about that ….. and it was our best fighting force that got completely trolled.
Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin should be brought up on treason charges and let’s see it wind out publically before the cameras without stupid media covering for them. Let’s all see it play out. Then, we will know for sure (what we already know but don’t want to admit) whether their actions meet the level of treason or they should be just have their asses kicked out. I no longer trust our military.
After Gen. Milley’s stunt with Pres Trump, I have lost complete confidence in our military’s ability to defend the nation.
