DOD: Military Spent 6 Million Man-Hours on Woke Training Under Biden:
The United States military spent nearly six million man-hours on an extremism “stand-down” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) training since President Joe Biden took office, according to Department of Defense (DOD) data.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley provided that data to Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) Republicans in response to an October 2021 request.
The data showed that service members spent a total of 5,889,082 man-hours on the “stand-down” — a day when all commanders in the military spoke to their troops about extremism, and on DEI, including critical race theory.
“We face real threats across the world, yet the Biden administration is more focused on promoting its leftist social agenda in the military instead of countering China, Russia and Iran or creating an effective counterterrorism plan,” said the Republican senators in a statement on Tuesday. --->READ MORE HERE
Veterans write to Milley to protest ‘woke’ political agenda:
A group of veterans upset with what they argue is the “indoctrination of our soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen, and guardians,” reached out to Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, in hopes that he will remedy the situation.
Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services, a group that says it represents “thousands of veterans,” wrote a letter to Milley on Feb. 11, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Examiner earlier this week.
One of the group’s major concerns is what they describe as the "indoctrination" of critical race theory, a decades-old concept that claims U.S. institutions were created to keep whites ahead of minorities, requiring the dismantlement of the existing system to achieve a fully just society.
The teaching of critical race theory constitutes a “grave national security issue,” they wrote, characterizing its teaching in the military services as “the infiltration and acceptance of racist and radical ideologies in our armed forces.” --->READ MORE HERE
