Officers apologizing for \"microaggressions\" against Air Force cadets. An Army \"gender integration study\" urging an end to \"hyper-masculinity\" in combat-arms units. Power Point presentations teaching commanders about \"male pregnancy.\" A cover-up, as senior officials placed their thumbs on the scales to ensure the success of the first female candidates at the Army's legendary Ranger School. These are just a few of the examples documented in this explosive book, \u003ci\u003eStand Down: How Social Justice Warriors are Sabotaging the U.S. Military\u003c\/i\u003e by former Army Captain, Afghanistan veteran, and attorney James Hasson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hasson exposes the relentless campaign by powerful Obama administration ideologues to remake the culture and policies of the U.S. military, even over the explicit objections of military leaders. He presents evidence--drawn from government documents and exclusive interviews with more than forty sources, including high-ranking officers and Pentagon insiders--that progressive activists in the Obama Administration used the U.S. Military as their preferred vehicle to advance the progressive agenda. The stories paint a troubling picture of what happens when leftwing political operatives impose a political agenda on our nation's military: they render our forces less effective, place our military men and women in greater danger, and compromise the military's sole objective: to protect America by winning the nation's wars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Military readiness\" is a term politicians and pundits often use in the abstract to describe our military's ability to defeat its adversaries. But it ultimately describes how well we have prepared and equipped a young soldier or sailor to prevail over an enemy determined to do them harm. Hasson makes a compelling case that our nation has a moral obligation to ensure that the sons and daughters it sends to war have the best possible chance of victory--which means we must embrace only the policies that help us win wars and reject those that don't. Political agendas of any kind invite corruption, jeopardize lives, and undermine the mission. They have no place in military policy--a principle that the Obama administration either disdained or failed to understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Hasson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621579182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621579182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regnery Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"James Hasson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987014811903,"sku":"9781621579182","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17fbe758-ba2d-4d4c-98a3-6f5f374036bd.jpg?v=1683286503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stand-down-james-hasson-9781621579182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
