The fight to save our military from radical indoctrination has a new weapon—and it’s exactly what patriots have been calling for. Doug Truax, a West Point graduate and retired Army captain, has launched a tip line for Department of Defense employees to report cases of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) overreach. That’s right—after years of watching the Pentagon turn into a social experiment at the expense of combat readiness, real action is being taken to expose and root out the rot.
Truax, who served honorably and now leads the Foundation for the Restoration of America, isn’t mincing words. “Our service academies, such as West Point… are indoctrinating young officers in extreme, sexualized ideologies, instead of preparing them for combat,” he told Fox News Digital. That’s not hyperbole—it’s reality for anyone who’s been watching the slow-motion collapse of military standards under the guise of equity and inclusion.
Let’s be clear: DEI has nothing to do with improving the military and everything to do with imposing leftist ideology. The obsession with race, gender identity, and grievance politics has produced a chain of command more concerned with pronouns than proficiency. As Truax rightly said, “It’s time for a culture change, a top-to-bottom transformation to forge elite warriors held to the highest standards of morality and lethality.” Amen.
Fortunately, President Trump didn’t waste time when he returned to the Oval Office. In January, he signed an executive order ending DEI in the military, declaring that these divisive policies “undermine leadership, merit, and unit cohesion, thereby eroding lethality and force readiness.” He’s right. Our military doesn’t exist to make people feel comfortable—it exists to win wars.
The tip line at RestoreTheMilitary.com is a direct response to years of bureaucratic cowardice and cultural surrender. The premise is simple: give whistleblowers—those inside the system who still believe in the mission—a safe way to report the nonsense they’re seeing. Whether it’s a training seminar on “white fragility” or a promotion denied because someone checked the wrong demographic box, Truax wants to expose it.
This isn’t just about one website or one whistleblower line. It’s part of a broader movement—finally gaining steam under the Trump administration—to re-warriorize the armed forces. As Truax put it, we need to “go beyond de-woking the military.” And he’s right. It’s not enough to stop pushing DEI; we need to re-instill the warrior ethos that once defined our military. That means fitness standards that matter, discipline that’s enforced, and leadership that prioritizes mission over media coverage.
The left will scream about this, of course. They’ll claim it’s “anti-diversity” or “discriminatory.” But let’s be honest: DEI doesn’t promote diversity—it promotes division. It’s a Trojan horse for Marxist ideology, imported into the ranks by Obama-era bureaucrats and embedded in the Pentagon by woke civilian leadership that saw the military as a tool for social engineering. They treated our armed forces like a college campus—and we’ve seen the results: declining recruitment, collapsing morale, and readiness levels that should alarm every American.
Trump and his Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, are putting an end to it. Hegseth recently said that “99.9%” of DEI initiatives are already gone from the military under Trump’s watch. That’s excellent news—but it’s not enough. The tip line is the next step in flushing out the remaining rot.
This is what accountability looks like. It’s what leadership looks like. And it’s what the American people—especially our veterans and active-duty troops—deserve. We’re not going to win future wars with PowerPoint slides and HR jargon. We’re going to win by building a force that is feared by our enemies and respected by our allies.
Doug Truax and President Trump are showing us the way forward. Now it’s up to the rest of us to support them, spread the word, and demand that every last corner of the federal bureaucracy—especially our military—be free from the poison of wokeism. Because when the bullets start flying, identity politics won’t save us. Only warriors will.
