Persecuted Ex-Space Force Commander Calls for Eliminating Woke Ideology from the US Military

Calvin Freiburger : Jul 12, 2024  LifeSiteNews.com

"You give your life and service to your country and the American people, and you're not doing it for the pay. You're doing it because you become (convinced) of the greatness of the American ideal.

But it didn't matter to me. And it's never mattered to our troops what someone else's politics were."
