Yet anyone who is in the military knows that's not the problem we have.

And so again, the book's not about how we went woke, it's how we allowed ourselves to go woke, and it was senior leaders

who opened the door because it was politically advantageous for them to do so, rather than standing up for what they knew to be true based on an institution they were dedicated to and a constitution they swore an oath to.

And that's upside down.

Correct, correct.

And that's why I think it's our only way out.

And that's why I do think we're at an existential moment.

I'm not trying to be hyperbolic here when it comes to the DOD.

I think we're at a shit or get off the pot moment.

We are at a tipping point for total institutional corruption.

And Trump has a chance to reverse that

should he, when he wins.

Because what the military did, I didn't finish the thought on that, is they committed a Bud Light.

Like they, in search of a non-traditional constituency,

they offended their core constituency.

So there aren't enough lesbians in San Francisco to man the 82nd Airborne.

And in trying to cater to that, they lost the boys from Tennessee and Kentucky and Oklahoma.

The traditional dudes who did it because they wanted, they loved their country or they wanted the adventure or they wanted to try tough things or,

They need an up and out of their community, whatever it is.

They're like, if I wanted to do the woke crap, I could go to the local community college or local college.
