The great Rush Limbaugh said a lot of things that are timeless in their truthfulness. When it came to the military, he said two things. Number one, the primary purpose of the military is to kill people and break things. Number two, the left despises the military; they view it as nothing more than a social experiment. But President Joe Biden has accomplished one more thing. According to a recent Gallup poll, Americans’ confidence in the U.S. military is the lowest it has been in two decades.

It is important to remember that the American military is made up of men and women who are willing to protect their country. This is why they join. They are not there to be told they are oppressed, that they are oppressors based on race, or that they should celebrate Pride Month. These people know we are facing grave threats, such as China, and this is why they join. Add to this an incompetent Commander-in-Chief like Joe Biden who said on CNN, when discussing the conflict in Ukraine: “This is
