It appears the Democrats are hell-bent on bending to their will the last American institution to be both a credible threat to their transformational ambitions and had up till now eluded their control: The US military as a whole.
That lack of control is being worked on as we speak.
It certainly began in the Obama era, and it seems under Biden the hand is starting to tighten its grip.
For example, in the case of the Navy, one needs merely read CDR Salamander's blog (and if you're not reading it you should) to see what has been going on in the navy where diversity and reading the rather racist How to be An Anti-Racist is replacing maintenance and competency training among many other problems.
Special Operations Command just got its first zampolit or political officer, with more likely to follow.
The Washington Times: Special Operations Command gets 1st diversity chief
What diversity and inclusion has to do with special ops and lethality is a fun question - if you pass qualifications you pass the qualifications, if you don't then it shouldn't matter what you are, do not pass go, do not get to SOCOM.
Even better, the appointee is not exactly part of the culture of special operations or the military. Richard Torres-Estrada is instead a lifelong bureaucrat and for his latest bureaucrat job was an equal opportunity officer for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. He's also got some seriously anti-Trump baggage and anti-cop baggage as well.
But hey, overseeing affirmative action and woke struggle sessions in a dysfunctional Mass Transit Authority that is one of the most-mismanaged and badly operated in the nation is totes the same as a mission-critical military force.
Expect further focus on diversity over competence and the appointment of bureaucrats and woke incompetents to oversee and interfere in the military chain of command.
