In this episode of "Making Sense of the Madness," host Jason Bermas is joined by Amber Smith, author of "Unfit to Fight: How Woke Policies are Destroying Our Military," to discuss the detrimental effects of current political ideologies on military effectiveness. Amber, a military veteran, shares her insights on the declining standards within the military, attributing them to the pervasive influence of "woke" policies which prioritize diversity and inclusion over combat readiness and meritocracy.
Amber begins by recounting her personal military history, rooted in a family tradition of service, and her decision to join the military after 9/11, driven by a patriotic desire to contribute to national defense. She contrasts her experiences during active service, where the focus was on mission and combat readiness, with the current state of the military, which she perceives as being compromised by an overemphasis on social justice issues.
The discussion delves into how these changes affect recruitment and retention, with Amber arguing that the shift away from merit-based advancement and the introduction of divisive social policies are alienating potential recruits and experienced personnel alike. She cites specific policies, such as the contentious debates over the role of women in combat and the accommodation of transgender individuals, which she believes undermine the military's core mission.
Jason and Amber also discuss the broader implications of these trends, touching on national security and the potential inability of the U.S. military to effectively respond to international threats due to internal politicization and loss of focus on military excellence.
Throughout the episode, Amber emphasizes the need for a return to principles that prioritize military readiness and effectiveness over political agendas, warning that the current trajectory could lead to serious deficiencies in national defense capabilities. Her book, "Unfit to Fight," serves as a call to action for reforming military policies to ensure that the U.S. armed forces remain a formidable and effective force.
This episode of "Making Sense of the Madness" provides a critical examination of the intersection between politics and military policy, offering a stark warning about the consequences of allowing ideological agendas to infiltrate and dictate military operations.
