After writing and subsequently publishing an article titled “Of Men and Military Matters,” I received some very well deserved backlash and got a number of comments that I took time to sit down and review. This is by no means an apology, but a reexamination of the central premise of that article. To put it simply – do not join the military.
I’ll start with the major issues right off the bat – the military is fully pozzed. The military was the LAST institution we held and that is no more. In the beginning of this decade, we had begun losing it and, arguably, had lost it midway into the decade. The long march of the leftists through the institutions is now complete. There is nothing left for anyone there anymore.
One point I brought up was the long-term benefits of training. Training standards have fallen drastically since the time I was in. It is not the same military I was brought up around, nor is it even the same one I joined. Real training has been largely replaced with CBTs (computer based testing) and that system has been turned into a brainwashing platform. Now with all the mandatory politically correct indoctrination, pushed by high ranking leftist officers, much of the traditional training has been done away with.
The military does not make leaders anymore, generally speaking. Making real leaders would be dangerous, just like it was to the Soviet Union hence why they had things like Stalin’s purges. Real leaders are capable of independent thinking and often in good conscious. Obviously, the Left cannot have that, so it had to be done away with. Even during my time, they were well on their way to doing this.
The military of yesteryear is well and truly dead. I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of the decline.
While many of the structure still remains for the sake of maintaining the image to dupe people into believing it still is what it once was, the insides have been gutted and replaced full of leftist rot. This can trace its roots back to the Clinton purges which gutted most of the NCOs and then the subsequent Obama purges that gutted what was left of it, along with the the officers. Yes, there may be survivors but they are largely powerless. Of course, this is by design – marginalize, isolate, and destroy. That is the leftist motto and operating handbook.
If you enlist as active duty, you will be at the whims of all of this – you will be trapped with no ability to do anything but survive. To even entertain such a notion to young Southern men, even if it was out of exuberance for a past perception or ignorance of the current reality, is downright harmful. Right now, making people fall in line with leftist doctrine is more important than real world missions and combat. Don’t believe me? Step out of line once and see what happens.
While the National Guard may be one of the last sanctums that hasn’t been fully impacted yet it will eventually succumb to this leftist operation – as ultimately things like training standards and policy are pushed down from active duty down to the Guard simply because they do not have the same logistical structure to internally create the things needed to be truly independent. In fact, the National Guard has always been dependent on the active duty component for things like training, logistics, and even equipment.
The fear of the military being used against the last of Heritage America is one that fails to meet a reality check, as it already has been. For a reference to that, all one needs to do is recall the Katrina catastrophe- when the military confiscated firearms from New Orleans citizens. The reality is already here, so the fear mongering on my part is already null and void because it assumed that there was something that could still be done – it can’t. Maybe 30 or even 40 years ago it could have, but now in the present time we live it’s depressingly too late.
As Uncle Sam’s arm of enforcement becomes weaker from the actions of the Left, it becomes less and less effective. Generational and unending wars have a negative effect on armies. Even outstanding militaries cannot endure that level of constant combat, even at limited levels like Afghanistan. Coupled with woke ideology ensuring that competent and capable warfighters are removed or prohibited from joining, as well as, promoting and codifying SJW Marxism as doctrine and you have a U.S. military simply incapable of being a leftist-controlled weapon of suppression.
What can be done to replace a crucial component of building the prowess and character of Southern men when that component no longer exists?
One reader made the comment of forming a militia and I spoke as to why I believe that to be a fool’s errand; however, there is something that can be taken from that. We have many veterans that, while not always in the same shape they were in their early 20s, do still have the training and experiences that can be passed on. So, it is important to hand this down to preserve this capability and a good way to do this is through shooting sports. Getting proficient (or a decent marksman) in competition shooting and teaching others in it will allow a veteran to pass off their skills and training to the next generation. This is why the Left is so adamant about keeping young people away from firearms because they know this. Practicing for things like two gun or three gun are useful for improving the way one does the full fundamentals, which are important in a situation where they may be needed outside the competition range. In fact, we see a similar phenomenon with people who participate in martial arts and then find themselves getting robbed. The concept bears similar fruit.
Just as it has been now, it’s important to develop this independent grass roots level of a parallel society, so as to maintain our way of life outside the system and not be dependent on it. Eventually this wretched evil nation we have been forced to be a part of will fall under its own ineffectiveness, failures, and its own weight. I’ve written and will continue to write about as to why this is.
In any case, I was wrong about encouraging our people to join the military. I want to take time to thank our valued readers who spoke up and said something. Without you, I wouldn’t have seen the folly of what I was writing. Thank you for your support.
God bless you and God bless Dixie.
I have seen three emperors in their nakedness, and the sight was not inspiring.
War coming?
I was in when Clinton was elected and almost immediately issued that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” directive. I was only about 26 or 27 at the time, but neverthess knew immediately that it could only lead to, well, where we’re at currently; that it was all just a matter of time; not a matter of “if,” but “when.” As such, I knew then and there that whatever appeal a long(er) career in the military had for me previously, no longer existed by virtue thereof, and that I would be getting out and returning to civilian life as soon as my term was up. I also knew that I would never encourage any of mine (my sons, my nephews, my grandsons and so on) to join the military, which was a complete reversal from my former position given the long history of my family’s patriotism and military service. Nevertheless a couple of my nephews ignored my advice and joined, only to learn the hard way what I had been warning them about all along. And it’s not just the homosexuals and freaks or the introduction of “snowflakes” either; it’s the ever-increasing propensity to bring more and more women and their influence into the military, and the commanding ranks t’boot. I think I might have mentioned under another article a day or two back the little “conservative” podcast which operates under the umbrella of the “Heritage Foundation” which goes by the name “Problematic Women.” Anyone who’s served alongside women in the military in jobs they shouldn’t by any means be doing, knows that their presence in those roles is “problematic” by definition and to say the least. I’m as firm as can be on never encouraging one of mine to join; whereas, if he ignores my sage advice and joins in spite of it, well,… that’s on him.
As someone who spent a good amount of time in the military and got out rather recently, it breaks my heart that you are accurate in your assessment and premise.
Any young Southern men who join now will be formally discriminated against by policies on diversity and sexual harassment. He will be informally discriminated against by senior enlisted affirmative action promoted brothas and vatos who see it as their duty to help their co-ethnics.
The question we should be pondering is – what do we offer these young men as an alternative? The desire of these young men to honor their ancestors, find adventure and test their mettle will drive them to the recruiter’s office if we can’t offer them something better.
Those with training need to strengthen their kin and social networks and pass their knowledge on to the young, and remind them that their duties and loyalties are to their own people first of all. I think that should be a sufficient motivator, if the young have been raised properly and they have a tribe of older men whom they wish to emulate and join. (I’ll add that flat-range stuff is not enough — they need to pass on the skills for working with a group, group movement, etc.)
Don’t form A militia. Form thousands of nameless militias of no more than 10 members. It should be further broken down into 3 man cells. Giving your organization a name, will tend to draw more attention from the glowies than the act of organizing itself.
Truth. I’ve noticed 3 percenters everywhere since quarantine started. I once saw 2 cars with stickers in the same parking lot near me.
When a militia gets big it gets tracked and undesirables join easier. Of the 10k 3 percents now 5 of them would actualy fight and the 9,995 left will stay put and report on their comrades, maybe a few will choose to fight by posting on reddit how much they dislike the gov. If you want a militia, get your family. Explain your fears of the government. You can only trust blood these days.
Just make sure Uncle Sam isn’t a part of the militia, he’s the kind of family you should keep away.
@Big Al…
Please forgive me, dear Al, but there a lot of good reliable folks throughout The Rural South, many many of whom are absolutely worthy of trust, in any situation.
That does not change just because there are plenty of Untrustables.
Never forget, if folks had taken your attitude, way back when, this would still be Indian lands – or that of the king.
Yes, network with those you know to be trustworthy, not just family. If only your family is trustworthy or you know only your family, that is a problem that needs to be corrected.
I am young. Every 1st born on my fathers side has served since atleast WW1, probably longer. My older brother is basically a woman, so I feel like it falls on me.
I am not doing this to serve the Empire. I want the discipline and experience. I want to try and somewhat keep the tradition. I want to be able to instantly consune an entire buffet in a minute flat like dad. And when I’m out I can go to school. My family can’t afford it withought putting real stress on mom who does the finances.
Whether you think you’re serving the Empire or not, that’s exactly what you’re doing. If you are an Unreconstructed Southerner, and you must not be, the U.S. government hates your guts. You’re making a big mistake . Learning self discipline can be done without being in the filthy US military.
I suppose it would be serving the empire if we went to war. But at this point we wouldn’t win. We won’t ever go to war unless they know we’ll win.
Stopping drug smugglers (wanting to go into coast guard) is not a service to the Northern Empire, it’s a service to Dixieland and my state.
I grew up hard core Marine Corps. A son went into the Army about a decade ago, and complained even then of how weak and disappointing the training had become. I stop encouraging any of my sons from enlisting. We can train for normal defense apart from the Empire.
Our original militia was under control of the civil authorities, who appointed the higher ranks, while the militia members *elected* the nco’s and in some cases lower officers. Organization was heavily local. Surely that can be duplicated today — especially in more rural and smaller areas and counties. There were always many social and Civic events and so long as all know how to shoot and such, that should be encouraged. If a so-called “militia” isn’t set up like that, it is only a private club…maybe not to be scorned, but also not the militia. Give it a try in your neck of the woods. All it will take is an agreeable small township govt. to get things started in one local, so it can inspire and spread. If that is not do-able, then we really are foked.
