Open Letter to the Secretary of Defense

 February 4, 2025

Dear Mr. Secretary,

By assumption of your duties as SECDEF, you have assumed authority uniquely suited to implement policies needed to correct the Marxist legacy of the Obama and Biden Administrations that is harmful to the ethical heritage of American warfighters. Their legacy poses a threat to our society. The danger of such a legacy will be intuitively obvious to you as one who has experienced close combat.

Warfighters assume the character of their deeds and society. Inasmuch as we are what we do, soldiers reflect the character of the tasks assigned by the leadership of the state. Thus, it is that soldiers who wage the class struggle retain the indelible scars associated with their genocidal deeds. Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Fidel Castro created proletarian dictatorships that required the purging of enemies of the people.

Communist soldiers and secret police annihilated the ruling class, the clergy, property owners, and the middle class. It is ugly work – murdering tens of thousands of souls from all walks of life. The perpetrators of these crimes become ruthless killers of the state. Inasmuch as we are what we do, the Red Army, the PLA, the Viet Minh, and Viet Cong were all made up of brutal thugs who committed mass murder.

Traditionally, Americans soldiers have been defenders of freedom and defenders of the Constitution. It is a noble calling that forms a bond of American warfighters with those they have sworn to protect with their flesh and blood. It is a noble calling that yields noble fighting men and women. Thus, we who have pledge to die fighting for freedom are noble and completely different from Communist mass murderers, or Nazi war criminals, who willingly carried out genocide, i.e., the Holocaust.

So what? So, American soldiers trained by the Obama and Biden Administrations were weaned from their duties as defenders of freedom. They were taught Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that are Marxist narratives. They label Americans as racist, sexist, and terrorists consumed with white rage. They teach that Americans systematically persecute minorities and women. Thus, Marxists see America as an unjust capitalist state. Consequently, Marxists teach the USA must be destroyed, i.e., American troops have been mentally prepared to act as communist thugs capable of killing American citizens in genocidal purges.

Now that the Marxists have been removed from high office, we are faced with their hostile legacy. Our soldiers have been brainwashed by Marxists to despise America, the Constitution, and American citizens. (See Liberty vs. Tyranny by Col. Andrew P. O’Meara. Jr. for a detailed discussion.) We need to roll back the Marxist conditioning of our troops to restore the nobility of our soldiers as defenders of freedom. Please let us know if we can be of service in carrying out this vital mission.
