Actor Tom Hanks has been snubbed after a West Point event honouring him was cancelled on the same day that President Donald Trump ordered the renaming of the Department of Defense (DOD).
The DOD has now been renamed as the Department of War (DOW).
The DOD was known as the Department of War previously, but Trump made the decision to revert the name.
Trump noted that the DOD had become “very politically correct or wokey.”
The decision to cancel the event honouring Hanks likely comes from the Hollywood actor’s portrayal of a Trump supporter as a dimwitted racist on Saturday Night Live.
The performance ignited outrage among conservatives around the nation.
The Department of War is going to be a strictly nonpartisan organization and cannot be associated with leftist ideologues who smear half the country as racist idiots for supporting their president.
Hanks was slated to be awarded the Sylvanus Thayer Award from the West Point Association of Graduates, given to non-alumni, in recognition of his work with veterans.
But clearly, Hanks would rather set himself up as a divisive political figure and attack half the country in a degrading manner.
Retired Army Col. Mark Bieger, the president and CEO of the West Point Association of Graduates, sent an email out announcing the decision to cancel the ceremony for Hanks.
That email read, “This decision allows the Academy to continue its focus on its core mission of preparing cadets to lead, fight, and win as officers in the world’s most lethal force, the United States Army.”
The focus on lethality and fighting effectiveness has been the top priority for the Trump administration after years of politicization and woke politics infecting American fighting forces.
The Pentagon has become notoriously political in recent years, and it’s long been known that America’s military leadership is comprised of charlatans more interested in setting up their post-military careers with the military-industrial complex.
Speaking on changing the culture in America’s military, Trump explained, “It has to do with winning.
“We should have won every war.
“We could have won every war.
“But we really chose to be very politically correct or wokey and we just fight forever.”
He continued by saying, “We just fight to sort of tie.
“We never wanted to win wars.
“Every one of them we could have won easily with just a couple of little changes.
“We just didn’t fight to win.
“We didn’t lose anything, but we didn’t fight to win.”
The Trump administration doesn’t want to politicize the military with a right-leaning political bias, even as it purges leftist infection.
The military is at its best when it is non-partisan and represents the nation with a blindness to political affiliation.
Leftists have been shrieking about Trump politicizing the military, an ironic claim, accusing him of simply replacing leftist ideologues with rightwing ideologues.
The reality is that the left has lost after years of domination, and returning to a non-partisan culture feels like being replaced with more of the same.
Trump’s changes will ultimately be healthier for America’s armed forces, and anyone who has witnessed the rise of racial grievance politics in the armed forces will quickly agree.
