The U.S. Space Force has become unmistakably “woke,” as evidenced by a recent “Pride” event hosted by the Department of Defense.
Throughout the event, U.S. Space Force Lt. Gen. DeAnna M. Burt made numerous “woke” remarks about her work.
WATCH:
The @DeptofDefense "pride" event last week gets more bizarre with scrutiny.

1. Here, LTG Burt openly admits she lets supposed concerns over "anti-LGBTQ+ laws in a state" about "healthcare" dictate personnel choices, even if it means choosing a less-qualified officer. pic.twitter.com/O5zc2yku9P

“Transformational cultural change requires leadership from the top, and we do not have time to wait. Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBT+ laws have been introduced at the state level,” she began.
“That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous to our service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole,” she continued.
Typically, so-called “anti-LGBT+” laws prohibit minors from receiving puberty retarders, transsexual surgery, and other irreversible procedures. It is unclear what this has to do with the capability of the military.
It is also unclear whether a high-ranking federal agent should object to state laws that appear to concern her personally.
“When I look at potential candidates, say for squadron command, I strive to match the right person to the right job. I consider their job performance and relevant experience first. However, I also look at their personal circumstances, and their family is also an important factor,” Burt added.
“If a good match for a job does not feel safe being themselves and performing at their highest potential at a given location, or if their family could be denied critical healthcare due to the laws in that state, I am compelled to consider a different candidate and perhaps less qualified,” she concluded.
Therefore, she is willing to sacrifice candidate distinction on the altar of the modern LGBT movement’s “cult of transgenderism,” as its right-wing critics refer to it.
The words of Burt have been harshly criticized:
State law and legislators are being openly targeted by the department of defense. This is so far beyond the pale, not to mention a crime

Absolutely disgusted. @DeptofDefense is a disgrace because of those they have buoyed to the top. They can all go trans themselves.

There is no room for politics while wearing the uniform, and to tie it to readiness is absurd. The laws she danced around are laws to protect the children. Leave our children alone.

Just what we need. Stunning & brave word salad which translates into: rainbow equity. Negligence of military duty & failure to provide domestic protection… for a modern audience.

What a slap in the face to every patriot serving with a distinguished career that they may be overlooked for command due to the state they are from!! She needs to be reminded how many that serve come from these states she simply doesn’t like.

Lt. Col. Matt Lohmeier, a former member of the Space Force who was removed from command two years ago after publishing a book claiming that Marxism was eroding the U.S. military, has also voiced his disapproval.
More on this story via The Republic Brief:
“I was once fired from command in the @SpaceForceDoD for allegedly ‘being politically partisan while acting in an official capacity.’ That allegation was totally false. Lt Gen Burt here demonstrates what being politically partisan while acting in an official capacity really looks like,” he tweeted late Wednesday afternoon. CONTINUE READING…
