Campaigners have uncovered worrying teaching materials for the Pentagon's 160 military schools that many service members may see as unpatriotic and even scary.
Training manuals for its 8,000 teachers advise that Thanksgiving feasts have no historical basis and that America was founded on land 'stolen' from natives.
Though uncontroversial for some, Adam Andrzejewski, who uncovered the documents via public records requests, calls it a 'perverse' way to teach kids of service members.
His revelations come as Republicans and Democrats clash in the Senate over LGBTQ+ troops and other controversies in the $886 billion defense bill.

"Its DEI unit was disbanded last year under pressure from Republican lawmakers amid allegations that its then-director, Kelisa Wing, made anti-white posts on social media."

Time to cancel the Pentagon and start anew. All civilizations have conquered others, murdered, raped, taken slaves, property & land. Do they think the Indians did not participate in these activities against other Indian tribes? There were free blacks in the south who owned slaves. Blacks in Africa sold other blacks to the Europeans. They believe that only bad things that have ever happened in the whole world is here in America perpetuated only by white people. Really? Leave your hands off the 4th of July and Thanksgiving! If you do not want to participate then don't. I have no problem with that. But leave the rest of us alone. And while we are at it LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE! Common sense vs insane stupidity. If anyone is going to ruin America it is the crazy asshat dems.

The Chinese were in California a few thousand years ago. They've found the round circle stone with a hole in the middle the Chinese used for anchors in the Pacific ocean. And of course a Viking village layout has been found on the east coast. I saw a brief segment on TV once that said either Incan or Peruvian, don't remember which but it was one of them, had lived here long ago and supposedly there is a pyramid, blocked off of course by the government. There were no grand cities here when the Europeans showed up. There was fighting between the tribes and slavery. Their land was fought for and lost but they now have some land back and all those casinos. At least we are sharing.

We are so screwed when our military cannot read the chronicles of the thanksgiving feast of 1621 in Plymouth, mass, and instead argue that it did not occur. What else do they have wrong? Why, they want all military vehicles to be electric. Yep. 50 tons of batteries for each tank, 200 tons for each fighter jet. They thought a harbor dock would work in the open waters off Gaza. It is time to do some serious replacements

I am Native American, of two of the "5 civilized tribes." While it's true that my direct ancestors were removed from their lands by Andrew Jackson, the menfolk of my family avoided the "Trail of Tears" and subsequent reservation initially, by fleeing south to the swampy land of Louisiana and coastal Texas, places where the law was scarce and land thieves could be devoured by alligators. Over time my Native ancestors married into white families, working themselves out of crushing poverty by enlisting and fighting wars in the U.S. military. Like my WWII veteran farther, I took advantage of the GI Bill and furthered my education after enlisted military service. I was fortunate to go back into the service as an officer, which facilitated entry into our middle class. I could not be more proud of our country and detest those who daily set out to bring it down. Bastardizing our military seems to be the goal of every democrat and should be resisted at any cost.

I enjoy Thanksgiving. Nice meal. No cards to send. No presents to buy. No greeting to exchange. What I don't understand are New Years Day, MLK Day, Juneteenth, Labor Day. Just excuses to not come to work.

It's on the military parents to do something about this.

Traitors. The REAL insurrectionists. All Biden's minions, busy little beavers gnawing away at the roots, digging at the foundations, eagerly, hungrily, excitedly, with the end in view. The fascists headquarters at WEF have open arms. Oh how long they have yearned for the death of the American Dynamo, this Constitutional Republic of ours. These sulphurous haters. You can see the noxious fumes puffing up the lying liar Joey.

#3, it may seem nit-picky, but there were free blacks in the North with black slaves too at one time. Not near as many, but putting 100% of blame for slavery on the South is not being 100% honest.

Some historians think that our native Americans were actually migrants who came over on the land bridge from Asia.

That little worm BHO is the author of this garbage. Not him personally because work is beneath him. His job as the messianic face of the democrat party was to embed his fellow travelers into the bureaucracy. Then Hillary would continue the process of revisionist history. This is the strategy of the communist party. Trump spoiled the boy king’s plan of total transformation of this country and Obama has been on a tear to get Trump by any means possible. The hubris in this anti-American zealot is unbounded. He really did believe “we are the ones we have been waiting for”…except in his mind it was he is the one we have been waiting for. Democrats created this mythical beast with his wholehearted agreement. The only thing that contains his ego is the Constitution.
From day one of his administration, the destruction of this country was forefront in his mind. Revising our history was critical and he went about it with a passion and the military was high on his priority list. He got rid of the warriors and installed his lackeys and the military has not been the same since. He will go down in history as the man who fundamentally transformed this country into a nightmare and he would have gotten the job done save for Donald John Trump which is why he and the democrat party hate President Trump with such a passion. Obama’s message was clear, America was bad, but we the people knew better and with the emergence of Donald Trump gave voice to our beliefs. Never doubt the damage BHO has done. This one puny nose in the air egomaniac stands in stark contrast with the America First warrior, Donald Trump. For once and for all, the vile narrative of America bad must be rejected and scrubbed from our government, military, academia, and culture. We are not a perfect country but we are infinitely better than how we are portrayed by these vile democrats.
