How did an alleged DI ever get through training with saying "Forward." Does that mean that boot camp is really a communist indoctrination center?

Wiki is getting worse and worse, and farther from its roots, and it started as a pretty good, fresh idea for a reference source.
If I search, say, "QE 1", it gives a very good, informative, and complete bio, and gives a very good thumbnail of her reign, which affected a lot of things. It's a "safe" topic for the ideologue editors, because it's so distant that the history is pretty settled, and the politics no longer matter, in real time.
But anything even fairly new is subject to disgusting (in a ref source) editorial political, cultural, and ideological bias, changing if from the good, uber-current ref source it once promised to be, to just another mindless leftist, historically revisionist mouthpiece.
I still think the model, the idea, is good, but the editorial stance is dumb, and is not, in far too many cases, even honest.

Wikipedia is open-source. Unless policies have recently been changed contributor submissions are welcome on any topic.

And let's not forget the Jewish Daily Forward the newspaper in New York City. I guess we know where they stand now!
I would say that there are mountains being made out of mole hills, but there is not even a mole hill here.
I truly hope that all I am reading here is people exercising their humor!

I have Fast Forward on my music player and I'm afraid to press it now.
