Is the Military Putting Gender Politics Before the Mission? – Intercessors for America

What have we come to in our military? If our soldiers are this focused on gender politics, are they really keeping us safe?

From The Daily Wire. United States Space Force Lt. Gen. DeAnna M. Burt admitted during a recent Department of Defense (DoD) LGBTQ+ PRIDE event that she would allow access to “gender-affirming care” to take priority over qualifications when assigning officers.

Burt referenced several states that have passed laws banning transgender surgeries — and in some cases, puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones — for minors, and said that while she would normally consider job performance and qualifications before selecting officers for certain jobs, she had to also consider whether her troops and their families would feel safe in those assignments.

WATCH:

“Transformational cultural change requires leadership from the top, and we do not have time to wait,” Burt began. “Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level. That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole.” …

In the U.S. Army’s “Soldier’s Creed,” one line reads, “I will always place the mission first.” Burt’s statement suggests that catering to the LGBTQ+ community comes first, and the “mission” is secondary.
