Stolen Valor just sounds cool

Someone stole my valor and the VA wouldn't help me because I wasn't a veteran anymore.

edit: here's an article from Military.com on wokeness a day ago

Republicans Double Down on 'Woke' Criticism After Army Says Safety Top Recruiting Challenge

quote:

"Wokeness at the DoD has harmed recruitment, retention and morale, wasted service members' time and taxpayer's dollars, and undermined the apolitical character of the military, which is a major threat to democracy and the American way of life," Banks said in a statement accompanying the release of the letter.

quote:

In interviews with The Associated Press earlier this month, Army officials summarized the findings of surveys conducted over the spring and summer of 2,400 people aged 16 to 28 that were designed to help leaders understand why young adults don't want to enlist.

...

The top three reasons survey respondents cited for not wanting to join the military were fear of death, worries about post-traumatic stress disorder, and leaving friends and family, according to the AP.

Meanwhile, just 5% of respondents listed "wokeness" as an issue, according to the newswire. By contrast, 13% said they believe women and minorities will face discrimination and not get the same opportunities.

That runs counter to the narrative Republicans have built since the start of the Biden administration that wokeness is to blame for recruiting woes.

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
