Suddenly, the nation must confront critical decisions: In upcoming votes on the House of Representatives’ annual defense authorization act, Republicans will try to counter the radical left’s “fundamental transformation” of the U.S. military. 

Most Democrats, however, are expected to contend that government funding for racist quotas and indoctrination, transgender accommodations in the uniformed services, abortion-related travel and the like are appropriate Pentagon priorities. 

Meanwhile, the Senate is being asked to confirm General “C.Q.” Brown as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – even though he apparently is all-in on such readiness-sapping social engineering of our only military. 

Votes on these topics offer what may be Congress’ last chance to stop this Marxist make-over of our armed forces. A Chinese Communist Party preparing for a shooting war against us earnestly hopes our representatives will fail to seize it.
