Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., responds to a GOP report highlighting woke ideology in the military, slamming the Biden Administration for weakening the armed forces.
The diversity and equity efforts have highlighted"The liberal progressives have an effort to neuter our military, not just by cutting the budget, but by engaging in left-wing social engineering," Cotton said.
"A lot of these progressives seem to worry more about training social justice warriors than actual warriors trained to kill, or whether our drill sergeants are teaching soldiers the right pronouns as opposed to teaching them small unit combat tactics."The report from GOP lawmakers found that"antiracist" approaches were used to teach soldiers about how to understand American society and acknowledge the county's racist past and present.
The report also found that the military covers the costs of transgender procedures and allows soldiers to serve as their preferred gender.
Another effort from the Biden administration and the Department of Defense is to root out far-right extremism through these antiracist initiatives. "I served in the military … our young people are some of the very best we have. They're not extremists."
