Officer Chatter

 I read through commentary today, where an individual had several long chats with enlisted folks (NCOs/Airman) from the Air Force, and got onto the topic of 'wokeism'. 

Up and down the line....the enlisted people were figuring it was about 99-percent (within their group) anti-woke, anti-Marx, and anti-Communist.  

Then the subject went to officers....who were pretty much committed to being pro-woke....yet still showing a strong tendency to being anti-Communist/anti-Marx.

So, here's the odd thing to think about.  If you lined up non-military people and identified a hundred people who were committed to being pro-woke.....the same people (near 100-percent) would at least lean to being pro-Communist and pro-Marx.

It would defy logic, when laying out this path on the officers.

I sat and pondered over this.

Woke-people for the most part....are generally anti-capitalist, and lean a good bit toward socialism/capitalism.  If you laid out Marx chatter....they'd be somewhat agreeable.

This position by the officers make little sense.  Course, you have to remark that these are the enlisted guys who are making this observation.  

With around 30 years around the service, and working in three generally different fields (civil engineering, intel, and comm)....I have this generally different prospective about the officers I worked around.  Each had a different view of the job, and how to prioritize things.  The intel officers often sought to use logic in decisions.....it was less so with the comm officers. 

All this chatter....laying down a serious problem?  Yeah....it begs how you will wake the officers up, and if they eventually reach a point where they are anti-capitalist in nature.
