Woke mind virus hits the 82nd Airborne, using the Left’s weaponized “nice” words. Why someone’s personal sex life has anything to do with military operations or readiness and why everyone should be forced to “celebrate” someone else’s personal sex life for a whole month is quite the “mystery”. The 82nd Airborne’s tweet was ratio’d as as the Army’s SMA tweet defending it.
As we wrap up the observance celebration of #Juneteenth we switch gears in honoring all those who partake in #PrideMonth. Join us later this month as we come all together for the Respect, Service and Dignity as the Division MEO team hosts the Pride Month Observance Event.#AATW pic.twitter.com/6hdRoWAgWy

What People are Saying
Comments on the tweet
“Disgusting. I served, my children served, and their children will NOT serve due to this degeneracy.”
“I wonder why recruitment is down. My son wanted to follow family tradition in the Navy. I talked him out of it. Our armed forces are an embarrassment.”
“I served 21 years in the Army. I talked my son out from enlisting in a WOKE military. Explain how being taught DEI prepares our military for combat.”
“As a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel who served in combat with the 101st Airborne Division I find this post an act of treason.”
“Main reason I’m encouraging my kids not to join the military.”
“the US military going woke is literally the military adopting the Chinese marxist cultural revolution. as a US army combat vet I would never tell my teenage son to even consider joining this weak whiny broken leftist shell of a once great military.”
“Love the 82nd, but the agitprop is embarrassing. No wonder recruitment is down.”
“This is NOT the 82d my family fought and died with in WWII.”
“Served two deployments with the 82nd. They are no longer the All American. [Their] tweet dishonors my wings.”
“This is so stupid. Can’t believe this is my 82nd. “All the way” means something different now. Sergeant Major, shove it all the way up your 4th point of contact.”
“Propaganda”
“It sucks seeing your beloved division being forced into virtue signaling with the new official religion of the US Govt.”
“The 82nd I served in would not have done this. Our enemies are laughing at us. Recruitment is down. The military is weak. This is not the way.”
“An army not worth joining.”
“This is an embarrassment to our military and contrary to the spirit of defending our country. You need to reevaluate your priorities.”
“Get the hell out of politico sociological issues and stick with the mission. This is BS and I’d degrading the image of ALL US military services. Can you even guess why the numbers of enlistments are down significantly. You are not a political arm of this great country.”
“What an absolute disgrace.”
“How dare you use the US Army to encourage rank sexual depravity? You and your ilk are a disgrace to the uniform.”
“How far we have fallen.”
“As a 30 year Army retiree and 10 years senior DoD civilian, the issue is not bigotry but team building. What the military is doing with all of these celebrations is the opposite of team building. I fear soldiers will die in the next war because the leaders have lost focus.”
“So embarrassing!”
“You have one job; fight wars. Considering you can’t seem to win at that, maybe you should concentrate on it and not social engineering and sucking up to the Marxists in charge. Maybe you should stick to being soldiers instead of politicians.”
“The 82nd has gone dark. Very disappointing.”
“What’s the point in “honoring” people based on who they want to have sex with? Do people who dress up like dogs in bondage gear need to put that on their SF86? Or E8s who like to f— E3s even? NO WAY that could ever be a problem, right?”
“Embarrassing. You are war fighters.”
“Better barracks, food(enlisted not having to pay month$400 for this)-soldiers not having to pay for haircuts, boots, uniforms themselves-and new and working equipment, would be something a taxpayer may wish the Army to focus on. This matters.”
“Disappointed in the 82nd and all of this nonsense.”
“We used to fight Nazis, Communists and other perverts. They now run the the nation and the 82nd Airborne.”
“Nope. Woke airborne is no division of mine.”
“This woke gay/trans/alphabet focus on sex has no place WHATSOEVER in the U.S. Military. Demented and Disgusting and Disgraceful.”
“How about sticking to mission- ready or has the mission changed to ‘let’s celebrate sexual lifestyles’?”
“How low the Army has sunk.”
“Why are you so hellbent on communizing the military and turning it into a political arm instead of focusing on being a more lethal and effective fighting force? This is all I needed to know. I’ll start brushing up on my Mandarin.”
“No wonder recruiting numbers plummeted. Our enemies are laughing at us.”
“Attention @SecArmy attached is the US ARMY and 82nd Airborne pimping by proxy for Trans and Gays. The secretary has said the Army is not woke but the attached tweet and the @USArmySMA tweet say different. Those are TRANS colors with the 82nd’s. You are a WOKE Army.”
“I have no idea why enlistment is down. Weird.”
“Damn 82nd use to be top shelf…What the hell happened??”
“Two words, one finger for you! I served 21 years in United States Navy, and you are an embarrassment to those who have served in the past, and given their lives to defend our country. You have become a rainbow military, and have not won a war in almost 100 years.”
“At what point is capitulation to the mob going to outweigh the loss of unit cohesion, public trust, and warfighting capabilities? Asking as a concerned as f— veteran.”
“Disgraceful and despicable.”
“Are my taxes paying for this rubbish? Fund your peculiar interests on your dime, not mine.”
“Thank God I’m retired and don’t have to put up with this crap! Don’t let your kids/grandkids join this woke joke of a military. They will get them killed in the name of DEI.”
“You’re a disgrace to the Republic.”
“As China builds its military and threatens neighbors, as Russia threatens nuclear war and WWIII, the US Military proudly… wrings its hands about gays? Could we BE any less safe?”
“Disappointed in the 82nd.”
“Ashamed now that I ever served in this organization. I’ll certainly never again admit it. Pathetic and disgusting.”
“The Army has lost its way.”
“I can hear those WWII vets now rolling in their graves saying, “WTF!”
Then the Army’s SMA chimed in:
Thanks for sharing this opportunity. The comment section is a good time to refresh ourselves with discriminatory harassment: A form of harassment that is unwelcome conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity), national origin, or sexual orientation.

Comments to that:
“The comment section isn’t your AO, and voicing disagreement is not harassment. Many veterans including this one are disgusted by the continued degeneracy of our armed forces, so prepare to copy notes you can refer to later during your retention-crisis strategy meetings.”
“The comment section is also a good time to refresh ourselves with the fact that you will do or say ANYTHING that your masters command, won’t you? Are buggery and transvestitism the “Army Values” you came up with? I think not.”
“See, you’re why I’m glad my children aren’t 4th generation to serve. My grandfather WWII, my father flew Phantoms, I was in Navy. What you’re doing is just… Wrong.”
“And here we all thought the Army’s purpose was to kill people and break things. Instead it appears to be one big social experiment. There’s a reason my kids will NEVER join the military. 5 generations of my family have served the world’s best military, but that is over.”
“You are the reason why my 3 sons will not enter military service.”
“This is a leadership issue. In these comments you’ve subscribed to division, segregation and a perverse reversal of the progress the Army has made. DEI is a plague on the requirements of military service. Recommend you read Fehrenbach “This Kind of War.” It will help you focus.”
“I’m an old-time Army Veteran. (87-95) What in the actual F* have you done to my Army? This is disgraceful. Your job is to be the best in the world at killing enemies and breaking things. That’s what it distills down to. Nations should fear us. Remember Peace through Strength? Well SMA, this ain’t it. Some military my ass. Your putting lives at risk. Fix yourself.”
“You’re a sellout to DEI, woke ideology and cultural experiment the military has embraced, the immediate results are evident with poor moral and performance, retention in the toilet, recruitment is even worse, sorry to see alpha males from the fly over states not wanting to join.”
“This army is weak and pathetic. Just like the rest of the military. Stop catering to people and train war fighters.”
“It saddens me to see how far we have fallen as a nation. The ideals I once served to protect, are now demonized. The left has succeeded in removing God from all aspects of society and our military now exports these hedonistic, depraved, and Godless values around the globe.”
“Considering today’s political climate & the many controversies surrounding the LGBTQ+ movement, Pride Month & affiliated activities can clearly be perceived as a partisan political cause.”
“As a veteran I would state that it’s a BETTER time to focus on National Defense and give us confidence that our leaders have enough common sense to see how the public feels about this stuff and not engage in political or social trends that OBVIOUSLY lead to division.”
“First of all, there is no such thing as “gender identity.” This is a sad fantasy that has no place in the military. There should only be one identity: warrior. Anything else is weak and dangerous to the country.”
“SMA, CSM – at one time, the apex of war fighting leadership. Now the Chinese Army shows your tweets to their soldiers to show how weak we’ve become. Hope you’re proud of your legacy.”
