Military performance undermined by 'gender, race and LGBTQI agenda'

A "radical left-wing" agenda is infiltrating the military according to Sky News contributor Lauren Southern who says the politicisation of the Australian army is undermining the performance of those in uniform.

Speaking of a campaign to promote homosexuality in the Canadian military, she said "it seems we've gone from one problem ‘don't ask don't tell’ to another, ‘must ask must tell’."

Ms Southern said “we have apolitical militaries to ensure our fighting force does not become a populist movement”.

“Being politically aligned adversely impacts recruiting and more importantly, the military is supposed to fight and stand for all citizens, not just those of certain politics.

"Armies that fight for partisan causes within their own borders are the types of militaries pulling coups in developing nations.

The Australian army began implementing active diversification quotas back in 2012 with priorities being, women, indigenous, LGBTIQ persons, people with disabilities and mature age population groups.

Citing a campaign launched by ex-army Chief David Morrison for the Diversity Council of Australia condemning offensive words in the military and seeking to remove the word ‘guys’ from the workplace along with other masculine terms, Ms Southern described the left wing push as “madness”.

“Imagine soldiers in WW2 storming the beaches of Normandy while their leader screams "let’s go guys!" and someone piping up over the gunfire saying "um excuse me, could we please use gender inclusive language here".

“Some may argue there are intangible benefits from forcing different perspectives … in the military there's only one perspective that counts; we win, they lose".

"As the world gets more unstable, more than ever we need the military to go back to being the military."
