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.
“Our military is not an extremist organization, and our service members, by and large all good people, are dedicated, faithful patriots,” they said.

That’s why they keep losing wars to stone age fighters from the Taliban.
Instead of training to fight the Chinese PLA and the Russian/Soviet Red Army, or middle east Jihadis, our Pentagon is more worried about 57 genders, how not to offend Muslims, and social Marxism.
That just steams my ass.
That is criminal. Absolutely criminal.
Every damned second devoted to that absolute horsecrap is a second taken away from training that could save a life, win a battle, or win a war.
Criminal. People should swing for that.
All that hate training will come back to haunt American citizens.
Republican senators said in a statement on Tuesday.“Our military is not an extremist organization, and our service members, by and large all good people, are dedicated, faithful patriots.”

200 million dollars here, 200 million dollars there, who cares..
Blame Trump cause if he had done it the biden would not have had to.
judging by the volume of calls to my home from various branches of the military trying to recruit my kids, I will guess all this forced vaccination, woke-training and endless MIC wars abroad is putting a little crimp in enlistments.
You must understand. The biggest threat facing the country today is Climate Change followed closely by right-wing extremist.
The Russians and Chinese are laughing at us.
“6 Million Man-Hours on Woke Training Under Biden...”
Six million man hours in one ear and out the other.
“Gentlemen, we can rebuild it.
We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s first woke army.
Biden will make that army .
Better than it was before. Better. Woker. More Genders
Holy Sh*t! Unfrakin real......what a waste.
IOW anti-white and anti-West. FT!
Exactly.
Whenever a lefty tells me about how important diversity is, I remind them of how Clarence Thomas has been a godsend on the Supreme Court. That typically leaves them speechless.
I remember “diversity training” in 1975 after a racial incident at Minot AFB ND. I remember Commanders call in 1978 saying we all be out of oil in a few years.
I recognized it all as BullSchiff.
I did my time and got the Heck out.
I figured anytime they start using the military for social engineering, you the soldier, airman, or sailor are screwed.
“man-hours”
Wasn’t that term officially banned?
It must have been fear of our well-trained military that made Putin back away from Ukraine. </ sarcasm>
“I did my time and got the Heck out.”
You sound a lot like my father.
He joined the US Navy in 1962, he traveled around the Pacific for two years, being a “Lazamataz type” whenever he hit port.
In 1964 he volunteered for Vietnam but his rank wasn’t high enough.
When his enlistment came up, they offered him higher pay, but he walked. Some of his buddies started razzing him about
not continuing his service, his response was:
“Look, I had two years to make Fleet Admiral, it hasn’t worked out.”
“Bye.”
