Staff Reports
The Army is finally putting an end to the disastrous and misguided policies of the Biden era! For too long, our military was saddled with a promotion system that prioritized political correctness over actual combat readiness. Thankfully, times are changing, and the Army is returning to a focus on what truly matters: merit and performance. This is a huge win for our armed forces, and it’s about time the focus shifts back to developing a lethal fighting force that’s ready to defend our great nation.
This Biden-era program was nothing short of a recipe for disaster. It was supposedly designed to weed out biases, but instead, it discouraged our finest soldiers from seeking promotions. When over half of the officers opt out of participating, it’s clear the system is broken. The left’s obsession with identity politics has no place in our military, which should be laser-focused on excellence and strength, not chasing phantom biases.
Good riddance.

The resilience of American soldiers has been tested under this craziness, but with this shift back to merit-based promotions, officers are going to be evaluated on something tangible—like past performance and potential, not the color of their skin or their gender. This realignment will enable our military to remain the powerful and disciplined force it was always meant to be.
Liberal policies continuously attempt to undermine our military’s core mission by injecting divisive social experiments into a sphere where discipline and merit should reign supreme. By eliminating this embarrassing program, the military is finally discarding this burdensome social progressive agenda. Patriots across the nation are breathing a sigh of relief knowing that our military can now focus on what it does best: winning wars.
This move begs the question: When will the rest of Washington wake up and realize that pandering to ideologues doesn’t make America safer? Isn’t it time leadership across all areas follows suit and champions merit over meaningless politics? Our servicemen and women deserve a military that values their skills, dedication, and potential to lead.
