The US Navy Is Now A Woke Institution
By Capt Joseph R. John, March 3, 2021, Op Ed #545
Through the centuries, “Combat Readiness” was the way experienced Naval Flag Officers predicted a unit’s success in combat at sea and evaluated what individuals would perform well under stress. Today, “Diversity” and “Political Correctness” have become the measure of the US Navy, instead of “Combat Readiness” in Biden, Harris, and Obama’s Woke new Navy. In June 2020, Obama era screened and promoted US Navy Flag Officers created and is developing the “Task Force One Navy” (TF1N). It included the attached disgraceful pledge that all sailors, Petty Officers, and Naval Officers, will not even fully understand the need for, however Navy members of the “Task Force One Navy” Task Force were required to swear to the pledge.
The TF1N radical socio-cultural-sexual indoctrination program is for all its enlisted and officer service members. Under the guise of an effort to “address the issues of white racism, sexism, extremism, and other destructive biases, the leaders of the new Woke Navy are in the process of indoctrinating members of the US Navy about the “White Racism” and “Extremism” that exists in its ranks, and effectively destroying “Unit Cohesion”, “Retention”, and “Combat Readiness”. The Obama-era Admirals developed “Task Force One Navy” (TF1N) with blinders on, while the violent riots being led by Black Lives Matter Domestic Terrorists were destroying $2 billion in US infrastructure and putting 2000 Police Officers in the hospitals.
Now TF1N is requiring white sailors to acknowledge their intersectional identities. This bizarre, subjective, open-ended, neo-Marxist mandate opens the door for ideological and political indoctrination of service members in almost every area of life. The press release that the US Navy released about the TF1N indoctrination sounded like it came from a liberal university diversity officer’s “woke” racist dream: “The Task Force will seek to promptly address the full spectrum of systemic racism, advocate for the needs of underserved communities, work to dismantle barriers and equalize professional development frameworks and opportunities within the Navy.” Among many recommendations, TF1N leaders had recommendations related to matters surrounding gender minorities, and updating naming ships, buildings, and streets, and countering hate speech.
