Joe Biden has “let down” US veterans after “wrecking the moral foundation of the armed forces” with “witch hunts”, Donald Trump’s former Secretary for Veteran Affairs has said.
Veterans across the US will tomorrow celebrate Veterans Day to honour the 41 million Americans who have put on a uniform since the American Revolution 1775.
While Remembrance events in the UK could be overshadowed by pro-Palestinian marches, the US celebration, which is expected to take place at Arlington Cemetary has no such disruptive plans.

Wilkie explained that the events erupting in London and Washington DC is a “continuation of the cultural suicide that is going on not only in the United Kingdom but also in the United States and the West”.
When asked how Biden had let down veterans in the US, Wilkie said: “Well he’s let them down in the sense that he has wrecked the moral foundation of the armed forces of the United States with his witch hunts, with the diminution of physical and mental standards dividing the armed forces into what I would call grievance categories.
“Douglas Murray has said that the Biden administration is engaged in a non-stop grievance competition that is played out in the armed forces.
“We have a new chairman of the Joint Chiefs who says that his goal is to reduce the number of white pilots in the Air Force to 43 per cent.

PA“I am an Air Force Colonel in the reserves. I only want people who know how to fly aeroplanes. I don't care what they look like, what colour they are.
“And we also see under Biden the lowest recruiting numbers since the all-volunteer force was created 50 years ago by Nixon.
“People don't want to serve in a military where the civilian leadership says that the nation is an irredeemable country, that we are the oppressors.
“You know, people join the armed forces traditionally in this country because there was an acceptance as there was in Great Britain that ‘we're the good guys’, we are the people who stand up and fight for not only liberty and freedom and the right to be left alone, but we have saved the planet on numerous occasions.”

When later asked whether the US and UK should spend more on defence, Wilkie said: “Absolutely”.
“We [the US] spend about 780 billion, 800 billion on defence, which is actually in terms of our GDP, the lowest since 1946.
“But it is concerning to me that the Royal Navy is the smallest it's been since the reign of Charles II and that you [the UK] continue to bleed soldiers.
“I was in Britain working when the white paper came out and established the two great aircraft carriers but at the same time got rid of the Fleet Air arm.
“So you created floating docks instead of functional aircraft carriers.
“We face a threat that is greater I believe, than the sclerotic Soviet Union ever was because we have a three-headed monster out there and if you want to add Kim and North Korea he could be the 4th and it goes back to something that Golda Meir used to say ‘if someone tells you over and over again he wants to kill you, you believe him’.
“And it is up to the people of the United Kingdom, the Governments of the United Kingdom and here in the United States to make those difficult decisions that we need to restore the primacy of our military in terms of the amount of funding training.
“And it's the positions that those hold, not only in the public mind but also to send a message to the malefactors of the world.”
