This was more of the case in the 20th Century, and in the beginning of the 21st Century. Though most still lean right today, the percentage of this group has declined. The move to indoctrinate the military with &#8220;being woke&#8221;, with &#8220;cancel culture&#8221;, with more political correctness, etc., may have an adverse impact on military readiness and on troop quality.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>House Armed Services Committee member Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., decried cancel culture as &#8220;getting out of hand&#8221; and said that she was supporting legislation to ensure that American troops aren&#8217;t being indoctrinated into woke culture, which is more intolerant of conservative beliefs and values.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Freedom of speech is one of the founding principles of our country, and right now, our military servicemembers&#8217; careers are in jeopardy if they dare to be conservative,&#8221; McClain told Fox News on Thursday. &#8220;This cancel culture is getting out of control and it&#8217;s seeping into every aspect of American life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The military monitoring social media content of its servicemembers is extremely problematic and anyone who believes in freedom of speech should be outraged,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I cosponsored the Combatting Racist Training in the U.S. Military Act to ensure divisive, un-American ideas aren&#8217;t rammed down the throats of our troops.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republican Study Committee chairman and House Armed Services Committee member Jim Banks, R-Ind., told Fox News on Thursday that he thinks the military should focus all energy on being the best fighting force on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Call me old fashioned, but I think the military should be 100% focused on being the best fighting force it can be to counter our adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party or Russia and stop entertaining Left-wing social experiments,&#8221; Banks said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, another member of the committee, told Fox News that America needs to have warriors, not &#8220;social justice warriors,&#8221; in the military to survive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/ted-cruz-woke-bias-military\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of those serving in the military lean right.
