STARRS Collaborators:
Center for Military Readiness (CMR): STARRS collaborator the Center for Military Readiness provides an insightful analysis of the dubious qualifications of three nominees for high positions in the Biden Administration. One nominee promotes using Artificial Intelligence to surveil military personnel, a second openly advocates use of diversity quotas for filling positions, and the third is openly an advocate for the military to accept transgender and even “non-binary” personnel into the services, a policy which if adopted would have unknown impacts on readiness. With the world situation as it is with war in eastern Europe, attacks on the US from Iran, and increasing threats to Taiwan and others from the rise and ambitions of the People’s Republic of China, DOD’s focus should be on readiness not social engineering. See more at the link.
In another article, CMR President Elaine Donnelly citing the current situation of the Russian war against Ukraine demonstrates in stark terms how wartime shows once again that men and women are different and for good reason. The title alone should grab your attention, “A Lesson from Ukraine: Good Men Protect and Defend Women.” The article can be found at the link at the end of the release.
