(Tea Party PAC) – Our national security is becoming more and more exposed to danger thanks to the current administration hamstringing the American military by prioritizing political correctness over lethality, according to a retired Marine who is now running for a seat in Congress.
According to The Western Journal, retired Col. Mitchell Swan is a GOP candidate for the 10th Congressional District in Georgia.
In a brand new ad, Swan goes on to highlight the differences between the iron fist of the Russian military and the now limp and weak state of America’s military readiness.
“The biggest European land war since World War II, and where is our military focused? Gender dysphoria and woke training,” Swan goes on to say in the video. “This is insane.”
“Putin’s reviewing nuclear options while we assess transgender therapy options,” he remarks in the video.

“Swan indicated that Biden administration, which reversed former President Donald Trump’s policy and opened the military to transgendered individuals, has played a role in harming the armed forces,” WJ reported.
“As a retired colonel who led Marines overseas, I know this woke indoctrination will destroy our military, and that’s why I oppose transgenders in our ranks,” Swan stated.
Swan then stated that if he gets elected, he will “fight woke policies on every front,” which is something this country desperately needs if it wants to survive into the foreseeable future.
The retired Marine colonel then said that the obliteration of our nation’s values, which were once an integral part of the military, has ruined the armed forces as a formidable fighting machine.
“Compulsory DOD ‘Diversity and Inclusion Training’ has become a tool of LGBTQ supporters to normalize sodomy, sinful behavior and transgender lifestyles throughout our Armed Forces while also waging a culture war on those traditional Christian family values many service members were raised upon,” Swan went on to say in a statement to Fox News.
We can let them continue to attack us for our conservative values, or we can choose to stand for the Christian principles that made this country great.
I choose to stand and fight. I hope you will join me. https://t.co/KjkH8Topg2

“At a time when Ukrainians are demonstrating that the will to fight is worth battalions of tanks, Swan said political policies to make the armed services a Petri dish for social experiments ruin ‘the moral fabric and cohesion of our military forces. Furthermore, it erodes combat readiness and desecrates over 200 years of American military culture,'” The Western Journal stated in its report.
“A strong military is essential to preventing escalating situations like Ukraine and Afghanistan. Allowing transgender individuals to serve sends a message to our adversaries that we are more focused on social experimentation than on the defense of our nation,” he stated.
A quick recap of Swan’s record reveals that he served in the Marines and Marine Corp Reserves for 30 years. His service included leading Marines overseas and helping to shape policy. He stated that America has a proud military tradition that is being destroyed.
“For over 246 years our American Armed Forces have fought to defend freedom at home and abroad, earning a reputation globally for military professionalism, courage and ferocity in the process,” Swan stated, according to a report from Fox News. “That reputation was developed by more than two centuries of inherent American military culture, not American woke culture.”
“While we have the best military equipment and technology of any nation, what makes us truly unique among all the militaries of the world is our manpower diversity,” the retired colonel said. “There is no other nation, aside from America, that has the vast mixture of ethnicity, religion, citizenship, education and language in its ranks. For that fact, Americans should feel great pride.”
However, there are limits, Swan commented, which is why the military has, and now must maintain, standards.
“Many individuals with certain conditions, such as bedwetting and sleepwalking, are disqualified from military service,” he went on to explain. “They are not disqualified because they are bad people, but because these symptoms are considered mental and emotional issues that are not conducive to combat environments. Gender dysphoria is no different and should be treated the same; that it is not conducive to enhancing military performance or unit morale.”
The former Marine stated that the military has one job and that anyone who wants to sign up to serve needs to be ready to do that job.
“Military recruiting needs to be focused on readiness,” he concluded. “The military cannot afford to recruit a transgender individual who will need mental and physical attention over someone who is ready to fight from day one.”
