Human Events Uncovers Deleted Archive of Woke Commander's Tweets

[Human Events] As recently reported by Human Events News, a battalion commander by the name of Andrew Rhodes is on a mission to infect the army with woke fever.
If it’s a battalion, he is a lieutenant colonel and should know better.
Rhodes, commander of the 1-8 Infantry — "Fighting Eagles," ran a private, "woke," left-wing Twitter account under the name "Dru."

Rhodes tweeted repeatedly that he supported military leaders using social media. He promptly deleted his account once Human Events began reading it.

Rhodes tweeted that he does not support the UCMJ, a major violation for any military official.

He also tweeted his opposition to teaching Army Values, because in his view, the Army is not doing ’enough’ to increase diversity and specifically lashed out at those who say "We’re all the same, we all bleed green."

What’s more, he reportedly said — at a military function — that if you’re white, you’re part of the problem.

"If you’re a white male, you are part of the problem," Rhodes reportedly said.

Luckily, nothing is ever really deleted off the internet.

Here is a thread of some of his best tweets that really showcase hits of selective bigotry.

Human Events is still awaiting response from Fort Carson.
He needs immediate removal and dismissal

#8  It is easiest to ride a horse in the direction it is going. And a sure way to get ahead in a hierarchical organization is to promote the Party line. Seems the order of the day is "Blame Whitey", so blame whitey it is!

One of the strengths of the Army is they can push responsibility down to the sergeant level - basically the front line managers. This gives them a quicker OODA loop than a typical 3rd-world/Soviet style army where any decisions have to flow up the chain and then back down. Effectiveness vs political control - it's a trade-off.

#2  It's bad enough for a Pentagon creature like Colonel Sausage to say stuff like this, but it's appalling coming from the commander of an active-duty infantry battalion. I'd like to see the retention rate for this guy's unit. And where's the rest of the chain of command?

#1  Ah, soon to be a another 'suit' of the Xi-Biden regime with a new job over at the Pentagon presiding over its 'transformation'.
