WEDNESDAY PDB – PAUL’S DAILY BRIEFING – U.S. generals are clueless about the left’s woke agenda. They are buying the talking points and clearly don’t understand the real meaning behind the terms.
FIRSTLY, ‘INCLUSION’ FORCES ACCEPTANCE AND PROMOTION OF THE RADICAL TRANS AGENDA – Woke-ism not an issue, top military leaders say. Inclusion is actually a critical part of unit cohesion, Air Force chief and Marine commandant said.
Secondly, ‘inclusion’ is only one of three terms in the Left’s DEI agenda which includes Diversity and Equity. Thirdly, ‘diversity promotes divisions based on gender and race.
Fourthly, ‘equity’ is the socialist opposite of equality. It forces discrimination to achieve ‘equal’ results.
Transgender troops warn GOP bill could upend lives, weaken military. Kora Delta was one of thousands of U.S. troops who helped evacuate more than 100,000 people from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021.
The mission came as ‘she’ was awaiting taxpayer funded ‘gender-affirming care’ (genital mutilation and life-altering hormones) a few months after Team Biden announced that transgender people could serve openly in the military, reversing a Trump policy.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here’s a roundup of other developing stories.

Clueless arrogant generals do not have a clue about what they don’t know and are self convinced that they know it all. Same type of generals that were murdered after inviting the vandals into rome thinking they coul pay them to just go away.
I wouldn’t be so certain this guy – or any civilian from whatever media source( thinking of the mentality of Geraldo ( Harold ) Rivera ( Rivers ) – thinks they have a handle on what is happening in the military front . Propaganda is an old tool that still carries a razor-sharp edge : that cuts both ways . The military know this thru experience . civilians rarely get but one side of the story . Military folks invoke both views and experiences .
