Rather than diminish military readiness, woke policies such as gender pronoun training help soldiers feel “included,” say top military officials.
“When people join our military, they want to look around and see somebody who looks like them,” said Air Force chief of staff Gen. C.Q. Brown in an interview with Defense One. “They want to be part of a team [and] feel like they’re included.”
Brown, with Marine Corps commandant Gen. David Berger, dismissed concerns about woke policies in the military, praising the building of “cohesive” teams of service members, “no matter their background.” Berger said he’s seen “zero evidence” that such policies have reduced Marine focus.
The officials’ comments come as House Republicans push to cut Pentagon spending on so-called diversity and inclusion training, including an Army program designed to train soldiers on using proper gender pronouns, the Washington Free Beacon reported. One Navy video shows how to create a “safe space” and use pronouns.
Republican senator Roger Wicker (Miss.) said the Biden administration is “shaping the Department of Defense into an institution that is spearheading toxic social policies instead of restoring military strength.”
Other Republican members said the only military spending they support cutting is “wokeness.”
“On the House Armed Services Committee—we are laser-focused on the threats we face and the capabilities we need to defeat them,” committee chairman Mike Rogers (R., Ala.) told the Free Beacon.
He added that Republicans are “examining programs” to decide if they help achieve that goal. If not, he said, those programs will be cut.
The military is struggling with hitting recruitment numbers. The Army missed its goal by 15,000 people last year.
Brown said the Air Force can address recruiting problems by showing younger generations the “tremendous opportunities” in a military career.

THIS IS A BS LIE!! Personal feeling have no place in our country’s military it is all about working together as a team!!
When we are at war, the enemy will NOT care how our soldiers FEEL.
Military readiness is all about teamwork and NOT feelings. As a team no one care what race or gender a member of the team is and if one can not be a team member and except all of the team, than that person needs to be assigned to mopping the floors by themselves.
When we have top military officials that are concerned about soldiers feeling, then we have already lost. before it has begun.
But what do you expect when we have Commander in Chief’s like tinkerbell Barack Obama and his butt buddy Joe Biden.
BOY am i glad i retired when i did.. As this utter and totall bull, would have made me QUIT!
“When people join our military, they want to look around and see somebody who looks like them,” said Air Force chief of staff Gen. C.Q. Brown in an interview with Defense One. “They want to be part of a team [and] feel like they’re included.”,,,,,The same applies to people entering their own neighborhoods, streets, businesses, schools and downtown stores in safety. Similar values are just as important as similar looks. When the woke monsters of militant mischief finally take over our military, like they have managed to take over our emasculated police forces, the fall of the American Republic is less than one generation away. Specious liberal movies would have us imagine what a day where the Mexicans have disappeared, husbands, maids, business owners, laborers, newscasters, child care, teachers?? Now imagine a country wakes up and all white people have disappeared? You are now living in Somalia, China, Venezuela, or an American Indian pre-Columbian village of tribal laws benefiting men only, of warring military tribes who enslave women, human sacrifice, tortured captives and you never know where your next meal is coming from In team starvation, and personal insecurity. Imagine all that predominately straight white American blood never got spilled and you see where they want to take us.
Democrats see everything as subjective, how they feel things should be (not as they are) their whole world is subjective. Not Objective.
To the Democrat Party and their Democrat RINOs, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant, if the Democrats or their RINOs do not WANT to believe them or they disagree with them. Democrats will just make up their own, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time and attempt to silence or destroy anyone or anything that doesn’t bow down to their lies, cons and deceptions. 🙁 🙁
At the rate they are gutting our institutions, i wonder, can we SURVIVE for that next generation?? OR Will it be in utter ruin?
