Our military is going all in on the rainbow agenda but seems to have forgotten about little things like national security.
Either that or the Biden agenda of blowing up the Western World has become the instruction manual for the military. After all, the military is as committed to net zero carbon emissions, and will be electrifying their warfighting as fast as possible. Battery-powered tanks seem a good idea, don’t they?
The latest example is the ongoing saga of Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira, who famously stole and posted online classified documents that never should have left a SCIF–or, for that matter, should never have been available to an Airman 1st Class in Maine, whose job would seem to be supporting the air defense of the United States.
The documents were very highly classified, and it is bizarre that some flunky would be able to see them, no less print them out, photograph them, and post them for the enjoyment of his buddies.
The military’s preoccupation with nonmilitary (read: politically popular) affairs has distracted it from its core mission. The world has taken notice. https://t.co/67WV88jFMH

Given the total freakout we see over the leaks, one has to wonder: how did it happen?
Negligence. Pure, unadulterated negligence.
Newly released memos revealing that Air Force leadership repeatedly warned Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira about inappropriately accessing classified intelligence have left former and current defense personnel baffled at how he retained his security clearance and was able to continue sharing classified information for months.
“This is negligence on the part of the chain of command,” said Jason Kikta, a former Marine Corps Officer and former member of US Cyber Command. “They had a clear pattern of behavior,” adding he “should have been cut off at the second incident.”
Three Air Force memos documenting Teixeira’s misconduct were released publicly on Wednesday as part of the prosecution’s argument in favor keeping him detained pending trial.
The memos showed that Teixeira, a 21-year-old junior enlisted airman who worked within the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s 102nd Intelligence Wing, had received a direct order from his superiors to stop taking notes on intelligence, which they found he was ignoring just a month later. And just months before he was arrested for allegedly sharing the intelligence online, a third memo said a supervisor observed him accessing intelligence unrelated to his job.
His superiors knew he was stealing the documents and offered him a job higher up the classified intelligence ladder instead of kicking him out of the SCIF.
No joke. They offered him more access to documents, thinking he was a go-getter. Three letters were inserted into his file noting his loosy-goosy treatment of classified information, and one of them informs us that they offered him a more sensitive job than the one he had, despite his specifically having been ordered to cease screwing around with the classified info.
The memo says that Teixeira was “offered an opportunity to explore cross training into 1N0 or 1N4 [Air Force Specialty Codes],” but declined, meaning that Teixeira’s leadership offered to help him get a new job in Air Force intelligence. Jobs under the 1N0 and 1N4 job codes would have given him more hands-on responsibilities with intelligence, the current service member and a former enlisted intelligence airman told CNN.
Both the current and former service members said that the offer from his leadership suggests they may have had the mistaken belief that his persistent interest in intelligence was a sign that he was being underutilized in his current role and wanted to help him find a job that was a better fit.
But the current service member added, the fact that the offer for a different job came a month after they’d already given him a direct order not to take notes on classified intelligence – an order they had reason to believe he was ignoring – is a significant concern.
Teixeira wasn’t even trans, just a traitor. If he were a trans-traitor perhaps their embrace of him might have been understandable. Trans-people have a responsibility to bring down Western civilization, I am reliably informed.
But no, he was just a schmuck, and apparently, the hierarchy was too focused on painting everything rainbow-colored to pay much attention to preserving anything so mundane as national security.
