How politicizing the military puts national security at risk
There have been many articles written about “political correctness” and how it has effectively silenced any dissent from our military leaders. In a recent article in Foreign Affairs by Michael E. O’Hanlon and David H. Petraeus, titled “America’s Awesome Military,” the authors continue to promote political correctness and the Obama administration’s propaganda that “the United States has the best military in the world today, and have few, if any weaknesses.” They go on to argue that “no radical changes or major buildups are needed.” They must be delusional, since the impact of sequestration has decimated our military force structure and capabilities. Further, they clearly do not understand one of our main threats — the global jihad movement — which is not “Islamic extremists” but rather a whole-of-civilization assault against the West, by the Dar al-Islam, that obligates all Muslims to fight jihad for total world conquest.
