The media leads American politics through a weekly ritual of shock, outrage, and division. Tucker Carlson (a frequent effigy) became the apex of last week's frenzy after drawing attention to the varying a key difference between the US. and Chinese militaries. While Xi Jinping is growing its fleet, the Biden administration is designing flight suits for pregnant women and reforming female hair style protocols.

The danger of the woke military is the signal it sends to adversaries around the globe:

America does not have its own house in order. The nation’s focus is bogged down by ridiculous ideologies, and its leaders are pathetic. The people disagree on fundamental issues and are at each others throats. They are not unified and therefore weak.

This situation should serve as an instructive reminded: the more polarized our politics becomes, the more paralyzed we will be when the lightening strikes. Therefore, creating inspirational political narrative that unifies the American people in a way should be seen in part as a national security imperative.
