Exclusion is the most comprehensive and penetrating study ever published on the question of homosexuals in the armed forces. Clear-headed, highly readable, precise, and meticulously documented, it is essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand both sides of the debate on homosexuals in the military. Using the Army as her chief model, Major Wells-Petry shows precisely why the mission of the U.S. military would be dangerously compromised if homosexuals were admitted to the services. In making her case for the present policy, she also answers the charges of gay rights activists and other "civil libertarians" that there is a constitutional question involved in this debate. In a devastating analysis of logic and law, she examines the grounds on which homosexuals have challenged the ban - "the right to privacy", "the right to free association", "the right to free speech" - and shows why each has failed to convince the courts to intervene in an essentially military decision. The well-recognized legal principle that no one has a "right to serve" is often ignored in the passionate speeches of gay rights groups, but it is not forgotten in Exclusion. Military service is at best an inestimable service, at worst a harsh and dangerous burden. When the survival of the nation itself is at risk - and we must always assume that possibility - the overriding criterion for recruitment must be whether or not the individual can contribute to the combat readiness of our armed forces. The military must maintain a sense of trust and mutual reliance in an environment that is often confined and stressful. Service members live together, shower together, sleep in cramped quarters together, and - inemergencies - share blood with one another. Such arrangements would be severely compromised by the presence of homosexuals and service morale would deteriorate as a result. These are the hard facts of military life. They cannot be altered by trendy rhetoric or by fine abstractions. They are the absolutes upon which military policy must rest if we are to survive as a nation. All of these matters - the legal history of the question, its medical implications, the inevitable effect on order and morale - are integral parts of Exclusion and essential factors in resolving this national debate. We must not adopt a disastrous policy as the result of ignorance about homosexual behavior or a failure to understand the unique mission of our armed forces. After all, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard belong to the American people and not to any political group or faction - in or out of government.
An examination of how Americas colleges have become an intellectual hell on Earth for anyone who wishes to think rationally and seek truth and wisdom, as well as a plan for how young citizens can claim and safeguard the learning and heritage to which they are entitled.From safe-spaces and trigger warnings, to grievance studies and neo-Marxist indoctrination, to sexual degeneracy and hook-up culture, to student loan indentured servitude, to useless degrees with no translatable real-world application, the modern-day American university now functions as the complete inversion of its original purpose. Rather than creating civically-minded, competent citizens and adults able to provide for themselves, their families, and their society, America's universities now function as institutional assembly lines for the production of the new 21st century global citizen-serf: atomized, infantilized, dependent, and pacified. This book provides the definitive diagnosis of what exactly happened to America's universities while giving the reader a blueprint for how young citizens, parents, and local communities alike can safeguard, escape, and begin resisting such pernicious indoctrination and illogical woke nonsense.
Data and marketing consultant and statistical sage to presidential candidates, governors, businesses, and the real powers-that-be, epidemiologists, Justin Hart catalogs in a terrifying-but-sprightly manner the folly and psychosis produced by the pandemic and diagnoses the societal destruction that the massive overresponse to the COVID virus has wreaked, as well as what can be done to stop the madness and bring the world back to a modicum of rationality.WORST. DISEASE. EVER. Someone broke America. In this nightmare, neighbors have turned into agoraphobes, teachers fear their students, children are muzzled, citizens are censored, dystopian fictions have become reality, and unelected officials are creating a biometric police state. Oh wait. It's not a nightmare. It's our daily lives! In truth, much of this insanity didn't start with the coronavirus pandemic (it was already latent in big government and big corporations) and it won't end there. COVID-19's greatest threat turned out to be . . . mental. All we had to fear was fear itselfand boy did some of us fear! The very idea of the virus weakened the immune system of America and revealed a decaying underbelly of confusion, panic, unease, and cowardice few of the strong ones suspected existed. What a horrible wake-up call! In a spate of anxious dread and gleeful power-grabbing, our health overlords threw away the pandemic response handbook and triedbeyond all reasonto protect, well, everyone. From massive over-testing to universal retail plexiglass to stay-at-home orders to stay-away-from-school orders to masking mandates to vaccine mandates to some of the worst restrictions on civil liberties in American history, this is an epic story that poses big questions about America's future as a free society. And the odd thing is, as Justin Hart shows, the actual disease was, as pandemics go, not that threatening; most people were at minimal risk. What is really scary is the total overreaction of half the country, many governments, that lost all sense of perspective. Hart offers a hopeful prescription on how we might face the madness down and claw our way back to sanity!
