Top Army official blames anti-woke rhetoric of right for severe recruiting crisis
Fox News ^ | June 18, 2023 | Michael Lee

The Army’s top civilian leader pushed back amid Republican criticisms that the military is going too "woke," arguing such critiques are deepening an already troubling recruiting crisis.

"We are a ready Army, not a ‘woke’ Army," Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told reporters last week, according to a report in Task & Purpose. "That’s something, frankly, the chief [Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville] and I said throughout posture season in hearings, in meetings with members of Congress."

Wormuth’s comments come as all branches of the military have come under fire for what some critics see as "woke" policies, arguing the services have been prioritizing classes and training on diversity, equity, and inclusion over readiness to fight the nation’s wars.

Both of you are d**nable liars.

Could this have contributed to the recruiting crisis?

People should be anti-woke, for military matters and for government matters and for school matters and for everything.

Woke is not something that should be supported anywhere. The Army is not a place to be worrying about woke policies, and the army official is barking up the wrong tree if he blames the right. Blame democrats and the left in general, for bringing wokeness into military matters.

General, repudiate your woke positions. They do not represent the American people or the will of the people you serve.

Why serve in the military of a nation which does not serve the will of the people.

The complete opposite of the hypothesis that they are selling is more like the truth.

Miss Christine is the prime example of why women should not be in positions of authority when it comes to matters of the military.

You generals are endangering our country, you military virtue signalers.

If police are insulted and made to defend everything in court or face prison themselves, and the military is spat upon by public school teachers and Dem politicians, then people don’t feel proud to join either’s ranks. Tolerating gay abominations is not part of our country’s military heritage and it shouldn’t be. They are free to join drag hours or cross dressing parades but let us have a strong, pro-USA military.

Army Secretary Christine…

The problem starts right there and goes downhill. Hollywood and feminist fantasies aside, fighting is a man’s job and serious countries don’t put girls in charge of their armed forces. Pathetic.

When sojers do a tour over seas all the queers are given their own dedicated shower tents.

And he is saying its NOT a woke army?

WHo wants to enlist and have to listen to the cornholing going on next to their bivouacs every night?

The word is out. They change their policies or they gots no sojers.

I would never recommend anyone to joim the military. I would be more likely to tell people to be ready to fight them instead.

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth...
It's gotten to the point that when I see female name defending anything woke, I am assuming they are a delusional man pretending to be a woman.

I would never go into the army or suggest anyone else enlist. This is not our army. I am not on their side. Its an army that is in charge here in the us. They have control. But they are not fighting for me or America.
