Are our military forces less prepared today than they were after World War II? Join us as Commander Al Palmer, USN ret, and Colonel Ron Scott, PhD, USAF ret, USAFA '73, the President & CEO of STARRS (Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalization in the Services) confront this disturbing question. We uncover the findings from the Commission on the National Defense Strategy and recall pivotal moments in military history, such as the Vietnam War, that showcased a united front irrespective of race or background.In our discussion, we take a hard look at the effects of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives on military cohesion. By examining the roots of socialist ideology in America and its implementation in various sectors, we illustrate how these efforts can sometimes foster division rather than unity. The conversation shines a light on the chilling effect recent political events have had on free speech and assembly, raising vital questions about the ideological trajectory of our institutions.Finally, we tackle the pervasive influence of cancel culture and censorship on public discourse. From the media blackout surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop scandal to the intricate political manipulations of the Watergate era, we explore how information control shapes civic understanding. Through personal anecdotes and historical revelations, we highlight the need for collective responsibility and the influential work of STARRS in bridging these divides. Tune in for a comprehensive look at the challenges facing our military and society today, and discover actionable steps toward a more unified future._______________________________________ For more information about STARRS, go to our website: https://starrs.us which works to eliminate the divisive Marxist-based CRT/DEI/Woke agenda in the Department of Defense and to promote the return to a warfighter ethos of meritocracy, lethality, readiness, accountability, standards and excellence in the military.Join our Mailing List for our weekly newsletter on this issue.Follow STARRS:X | Facebook | LinkedIn | Rumble | YouTube | Truth | Gettr | GabSupport the Mission: Make a tax-deductible donation to STARRS.
