Leftist Politico posts LONG hit-piece on Pete Hegseth

The Left (Democrats) is totally bent on preventing Pete Hegseth from becoming Secretary of Defense.  If you're skeptical, consider this lying hit-piece from a total left-wing freelance writer, posted by the Democrat-fellating Politico:

>>Pete Hegseth’s Crusade to Turn the Military into a Christian Weapon>>

Sub-head: "Trump’s pick to run the Pentagon has embraced an aggressive form of Christianity that is at war with the military’s nonpartisan and pluralistic culture."

The author, Jasper Craven, is a freelancer who writes for leftist rags like Mother Jones, The Intercept, The Atlantic, The New Republic and the NY Times.

As a committed leftist, Jasper's mission is to say anything to advance the Left's goals.  In other words he's a typical leftist lying son of a bitch.   Got a single bit of evidence for your lie, Jasper?

>>Based on numerous public statements and writings, *it’s likely* he will aim to *undermine the military’s long-standing nonpartisan pluralism* by *scrubbing diversity from the ranks, banning women in combat, urging the military to choose sides in a “civil war” against “domestic enemies” on the left, and orienting the military’s mission around his fixation on the Muslim world,* which he feels represents an existential threat to Western civilization.>>
 
Ahh, Jasper bleats that "it's likely" that Hegseth will do those things, eh?  Let's start with Jasper's  women in combat: I love women, and served ten years in the military, and women shouldn't be in combat, period.  The left wants 'em in combat positions NOT because that increases our warfighting capability, but with the full knowledge that it does exactly the opposite.

All non-Leftist military members--including Hegseth--know that.  But Obozo and biden only allowed promotions to general for officers who eagerly embraced the wokie Democrat bullshit.  So lower-ranking officers quickly realized the path to higher rank too.  Result?  Decreased capability.

Now let's look at Jasper's claim that Pete wants to "scrub diversity from the ranks."  Race-baiters view that as making the military more white, but the truth is that the Left (Dems) wants more gays and trannies in the military--again NOT because they increase warfighting ability, but precisely the opposite.

Thanks to Obozo, Clinton and biden the military is now forced to allow trannies to enlist and is then forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per tranny for what the Dems call "gender-affirming care"--a cunning euphemism for sex-change operations.  Trannies can take over a year to heal from such surgery, during which time they can't deploy to a combat zone.  Again, capability decreased, which is what the Left wants.

What do ya think Craven means by his claim that Hegseth "is likely to" "undermine the military's long-standing non-partisan pluralism"?  He doesn't elaborate, but "non-partisan pluralism" sounds like purging Democrats from the ranks.  That's pure scare-tactic, not supported by any rational analysis.  But of course Dems know the biden regime went after any member who had posted on a conservative website or social media, so it's something Dems would expect, eh?

I was an Air Force pilot for almost a decade, and no one ever discussed their political beliefs.  Perhaps things are different now, but I doubt it.

Craven claims Hegseth wants to
>>"...gut the Pentagon’s diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and censor critical race theory," because he believes "these are their own ideologies, a 'religion for woke zealots' that threatens to divide the military rather than unite it. He has invoked the need for 'a 360-degree holy war' to exorcise “the leftist specter dominating education, religion and culture.”>>

But of course DEI and CRT *are* ideologies--belief systems--deeply embedded in K-12 schools as well as universities, and cunningly designed to spur race conflict: CRT because of its key tenet that whites today are somehow responsible for alleged racism as long ago as the founding of the nation.  DEI because "equity" claims all should get equal *outcomes* regardless of effort.

In my near decade of flying for the Air Force I had dozens of black crewmembers, and never saw a single instance where anyone was treated differently.  Wonder if Craven saw different results during his  military service?  Oh wait...

Craven sneers that both the military and Christianity are "tribes."  Would he use the same term for Google or Fakebook?

Unless you read Craven's hit-piece it's hard to convey how far left he is, but his LONG hit-piece for Politico shows his true colors well.
