The military has a job, its leadership should focus on ensuring that the military could do that job when called to do so. Unfortunately, even the military has been bit by the “woke” bug. Fox News interviewed three veterans to get their views on the wokeness that has taken root at the Pentagon and across the military.<\/p>\n

“The Pentagon has been infected with wokeism the same way so many other institutions have,” said Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who served as a U.S. Army platoon leader. Hegseth said under the Obama presidency certain generals were chosen “based on their political points of view, not based on their pedigree for killing the enemy” because they would comply with “new priorities.”<\/p>\n

That sentiment was shared by former Army Ranger and founder of the Warrior Poet Society, John Lovell. “The military has a very specific and strategic job, and that’s to keep our country safe,” Lovell said. “And when you thrust them in to be the front line of a sociological experiment which has a pernicious ideology that makes people hate the United States, a soldier can very quickly start to despise the very thing he’s supposed to be protecting.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month the Air Force authorized — but did not require — the use of gender pronouns in electronic signature boxes for communications within the department, a move panned by the veterans.<\/p>\n

Former Navy SEAL and 3 of 7 founder Chadd Wright reflected on when he joined the military, “It was Don’t ask, Don’t tell. There was none of this stuff,” he said. “It’s a weird environment … I think it is detrimental to mission focus.”<\/p>\n

“[On] my Instagram profile, my pronoun is listed as attack helicopter, so you can let everyone know exactly where you are,” said Lovell.<\/p>\n

Hegseth railed against the “upside-down priorities” and that while in the National Guard — which he only recently left — he said “the obsession of commands and command groups was compliance with the latest politically correct policy coming out of the Pentagon.”<\/p>\n

The trio of troops also slammed military leadership focusing on race rather than building a cohesive force. This past June, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley defended his study of critical race theory before Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
