Dennis Prager argues that Western militaries are compromising readiness through woke policies. The UK Royal Air Force stopped using "marksman" for gender neutrality, and the US Air Force Academy featured a transgender officer at a leadership summit, moves Prager sees as eroding traditional military culture.

It is entirely based upon people's contributions, so please call 833-PRAGERU or go to prageru.com. Remember, the, the people who help the fighters are as important as the fighters. Hi everybody. I have two stories about the armed forces of two major countries, the United Kingdom and the United States. They are entirely related. The Royal Air Force Air Cadets— this is from two days ago— the Royal Air Force, the Royal Air Force, RAF Air Cadets have been accused of being oversensitive after members were ordered to stop using the term marksman. Have you heard that? I have to laugh because the alternative, as I often say to you, is to cry. You can't say that someone who was a sharpshooter is a marksman. The suicide of the West, especially the English-speaking countries. And I'm not sure why, but Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, and the United States are in the forefront of self-destruction in the Western world. And this is an example. You have to be gender-neutral in the Royal Air Force. Wait till I get to the U.S. Air Force. I just told you I had two stories for you. They can't use marksman. Instructors and teenage cadets were told not to say marksmanship when referring to new shooting badges in a bid to be more inclusive. My silence is the silence of someone who sees an elephant fly. Am I really seeing an elephant fly? It's more inclusive if you don't say marksman. Whom are you not including? Markswomen? But on the other hand, hey, hey, hey, hey, you are including Karl Marx. So that's important, right? This all comes from Karl Marx. Critics have described the internal document issued this month as oversensitive. It marks the latest row within the Ministry of Defense over new diversity and inclusion policies, which forced Defense Secretary Grant Shapps to order a review. And according to its own policy, the Royal Air Force Academy allows any cadets that are transitioning to use, quote, to use facilities such as toilets and ablutions unquote, of the gender of their choosing. And yes, that's a good one. You're right, call them Marxists. That's right, that's a very intelligent thought. I will send you to the UK. Air Force Academy highlights transgender. This is the US, same exact day, next day, the next day, February 29th. Yesterday, this is from The Daily Wire. Air Force Academy highlights transgender officer at leadership summit. I looked at this person and I had no idea if I was looking at a man or a woman. That boosts morale at the Air Force.
