Another basic institution taken over by leftism

Dennis Mangan has a thread about the same subject. One commenter makes the point that we don’t want to leave the military, leaving it to our enemies; the military is too dangerous and important to do that:

I’d rather have an army that is “diverse” but that includes many white people learning military skills and in command positions than an entirely non-white army. There’s a good possibility that a “progressive” President facing a white insurrection would call on the military to put it down. I’d prefer that if that happens that the there be plenty of competent white men throughout the military who can refuse orders, lead coups, slip military supplies to the insurrection, and so on. A completely non-white military is going to be very dangerous since it will control all of the military resources.

Plus, the elite military forces are almost entirely white, because you only get into those forces based on merit and the non-whites can’t seem to pass muster. I want that kind of elite training being provided to white men, not non-whites.

So whereas I would generally agree with the Atlas Shrugged-style “withdraw your support” strategy, in the unique case of the military I would encourage young white men to join and get training and rise to leadership position in large numbers.

This is actually the worst course we could take. Imagine if it actually came to fighting in this country … and the military—controlling not only tanks, artillery, attack helicopters, and jets, but also nuclear weapons—was under the control of a majority of non-white leftists.

As difficult as it may be for conservative white men to serve in today’s military, that is precisely who should be serving, and it doesn’t do our cause any good to abandon not only good tactics but duty as well.
