Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors Are Sabotaging

Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors Are Sabotaging America's Military

"James is a terrific reporter, and this account of the effort to shape our military to reflect left-wing social values rather than the priorities of readiness and capability is vital." â€”BEN SHAPIRO, bestselling author ofÂ The Right Side of HistoryÂ and host ofÂ The Ben Shapiro ShowÂ

"Stand DownÂ is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how progressives have forced radical changes on our militaryâ€”no matter how much harm it does to combat readiness." â€” MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, bestselling coauthor ofÂ Justice on Trial

"Stand DownÂ exposes one of the greatest but least-discussed scandals of our era. Time and time again, the Obama administrationÂ undermined the military to advance left-wing political goals â€” andÂ HassonÂ brings the goods to prove it. Every patriotic American who cares about the military needs to read this book." â€” BUCK SEXTON,Â Former CIA Counterterrorism Officer, Host ofÂ The BuckÂ SextonÂ ShowÂ

"James Hasson makes a powerful and convincing case in this exceptionally well-written book.Â Stand DownÂ is a scathing indictment of the Obama administrationâ€™s misuse of the military as a vehicle for progressive social change at the expense of men and women in uniform." â€”SEAN PARNELL, Army combat veteran and New York Times bestselling author of Outlaw Platoon

â€œSafe spaceâ€ stickers on office doors at the Naval Academy. Officers apologizing for â€œmicroaggressionsâ€ against Air Force cadets. An Army â€œgender integration studyâ€ urging an end to â€œhyper-masculinityâ€ in combat-arms units. Power Point presentations teaching commanders about â€œmale pregnancy.â€ A cover-up, as senior officials placed their thumbs on the scales to ensure the success of the first female candidates at the Armyâ€™s legendary Ranger School. These are just a few of the examples documented in this explosive book,Â Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors are Sabotaging the U.S. MilitaryÂ by former Army Captain, Afghanistan veteran, and attorney James Hasson. Â

Hasson exposes the relentless campaign by powerful Obama administration ideologues to remake the culture and policies of the U.S. military, even over the explicit objections of military leaders. He presents evidenceâ€”drawn from government documents and exclusive interviews with more than forty sources, including high-ranking officers and Pentagon insidersâ€”that progressive activists in the Obama Administration used the U.S. Military as their preferred vehicle to advance the progressive agenda. The stories paint a troubling picture of what happens when leftwing political operatives impose a political agenda on our nationâ€™s military: they render our forces less effective, place our military men and women in greater danger, and compromise the militaryâ€™s sole objective: to protect America by winning the nationâ€™s wars.

â€œMilitary readinessâ€ is a term politicians and pundits often use in the abstract to describe our militaryâ€™s ability to defeat its adversaries. But it ultimately describes how well we have prepared and equipped a young soldier or sailor to prevail over an enemy determined to do them harm. Hasson makes a compelling case that our nation has a moral obligation to ensure that the sons and daughters it sends to war have the best possible chance of victoryâ€”which means we must embrace only the policies that help us win wars and reject those that donâ€™t. Political agendas of any kind invite corruption, jeopardize lives, and undermine the mission. They have no place in military policyâ€”a principle that the Obama administration either disdained or failed to understand.
