MRFF Assists Native American Officer Infuriated by Demeaning Presentation by So-Called “History Expert” from Commander’s Church
“When I viewed one of the presented slides with my assembled military unit I became so outraged and sick to my stomach I didn’t know what to do? I was just incredulous!
“This slide stated that during the 1870’s the main 3 missions of the U.S. Cavalry stationed at our installation was to ‘(1) Fight and defeat the Sioux Nation hostiles on the battlefield, (2) Domesticate the Sioux Nation hostiles and, (3) Bring the Sioux Nation hostiles to the grace of Jesus Christ.’”
“After this power point and when the mandatory meeting was adjourned it all just got worse. I spoke with the senior officer (whom I will refer to as my ‘sub-commander’) who had arranged this presentation … My sub-commander just dismissed my complaint by telling me that it sounded as if I was a proponent of ‘Critical Race Theory’ and, further, was improperly trying to use DEI (‘Diversity, Equality and Inclusion’) as a weapon. He then said something I will never forget or forgive. He told me that he was well aware of my Native American heritage and that it was likely that my Native American heritage ‘helped’ me get an appointment to my alma mater, the United States (military branch withheld) Academy.”

The sub-commander to the letter writer said to their face they were only in the military and rose to their rank because of (checks notes) Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? No other qualifications needed? Really? (insert my outraged self here – would like to poke SOMEONE in the snoot!!!!)
When we know better we do better, a phrase the sub-commander and their higher ups need to learn. Their idea of “history” sounds like it came right out of David and Tim Barton’s alternative history classes. Oops, did I say classes? I meant indoctrination.
We The People have so much work to do to clean up this mess. I get that history has as many perspectives as there are souls upon the planet. That said some things, no matter the view, happened and to shy away only allows those events, horrible tragic events, to happen again and again. As I said, we have work to do.

OT/ my recent cat acquisition makes me a cat lady I guess. According to kitty I speak with a heavy doggo accent which makes my speech almost unintelligible. He understands me enough to know what supper means, so there is that. I miss my Malinois
Well-said, Grey One. The “history” absorbed and regurgitated by this commander and many others is not an interpretation or an alternate viewpoint – it is an intentional and malicious whitewashing that promotes ignorance and bigotry. There is no excuse for this in 2024.
The fact that the promotion and reinforcement of history re-writes and racist propaganda is repeatedly being encountered by our servicemembers in all branches of our country’s military is a disgrace and embarrasses our country before the world. I’m grateful to the MRFF for helping so many members of our armed forces obtain the basic, decent, polite treatment they deserve and that is required by our laws and military regulations.
I have one response, well, 2, but 1 after seeing the 2 published Featured News articles of August 15,2024; And along with learning of The Heritage Floundering Stinktank’s GOP Project 2025[assisted by the Bartons’s Xian nation lies and PragerU’s indoctrination,sold as education with the first twist of reality being Prager’s naming his outlet entwining government and Xian religious nonsense while destroying the USConstitution, Bill of Rights, habeas corpus, Article VI SCOTUS follows with and gone and protection clauses and an NDAA surveilance state, the very reason for keeping government seperate from a Xian Dominionism beside gov’t that like Reagan’s use of the Powell Memo, changed the GOP into a religious dominated plan, with little being on Conservative ideas about Patriotism, or Liberty, of Americanism,etc, that was a way to gain voters leaning toward the religious indoctrination which they hope has been infiltrating into their brain with America’s majority Xian religion that actually fails at being good, but appArently is to Suck up to Israel with John Hagee and those idolaTERS WHO THEY WANT TO OVERPOWER THEIR LOWER RANKED SOLDEIRS WHO ARE CAPTIVE. sORRY CAPS. i’M nOT ANTI-RELIGION i WAS IN a Pentecostal orphanage and 6th grade Staff gathered announcing how imperative they all go to vote against that Catholic for President in 1960.
So, thanks to those articles who sparked in me just what and really what was needed to be done ,talk is cheap, or, better, [put one’s money where their big talking mouth is, as in the spouting so much BS, but lacking in heavy substantive ideas] how assisted; my donating to Mikey’s efforts to fight back for the soldiers who should not be harassed. Soldiers,military support, and those willing to put themselves out there for America, on behalf of the better sense of valor and standing tall for ideas that can carry humanity forward. Though I don’t think being violent raises humanity as high as some of these arrogant Xian Nation noodleheads believe themselves to be.
