Army Gen. Mark Milley pushed back on claims from Republicans that the military is “woke” and as a result not prepared to take on modern threats, saying he’s “not even sure what that word truly means.”
“What I see is a military that’s exceptionally strong. It’s powerful; it’s ready. In fact, our readiness rates, the way we measure readiness, is better now than they’ve been in years,” Milley said in a CNN interview Sunday.
Republican politicians and candidates have blasted the Pentagon for so-called woke policies, pointing to efforts to recruit a diverse group of military service members and be inclusive to transgender soldiers.
Those claims have also headlined efforts to reduce military spending.
“We’re going to cut money that’s being spent on wokeism; we’re going to cut legacy programs; we’re going to cut a lot of waste,” Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said earlier this year.
Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who announced he will retire at the end of this month, said the U.S. military is actually in better shape now than in years past.
“This is a military that’s dedicated to maintaining our readiness, our capabilities, our lethality. And the thing that we also need to focus on is the modernization for the future character of war that I see fundamentally changing,” Milley said.

Milley can have Mark Levin explain woke to him. Tonight on his show, he said woke is thought control by Demonicrats. He was talking about his new book, “The Democrat Party hates America;” a must buy and read.
from what I’ve read here and there, he’s a traitor IMO.....perfumed princes have destroyed this country...
Lol, anyone know which defense contractor will have an open board seat next month? Watch.
” the way we measure readiness”
All the feminine product dispensers are full and ready to go .. in the mens rooms...
Milley Vanilly.
This is a perfect example of what Trump means when he mentions “TV generals”.
Military wokeness: caring more about not offending trannies and other “protected groups” than being ready to protect the people of the United States.
Do you care more about diversity goals than whether the military can win a war with China? Then you’re woke.
“It’s an idea.”
A sitting Supreme Court Judge who don't know the meaning of the word "woman" (because she "isn't a biologist"), and a General who can't be bothered to look up the definition of the word "woke" (in its admittedly newer meaning).
Regards,
Trump appointed this TV General as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
He should be stripped of rank and privileges, and made to turn big rocks into little rocks at Leavenworth.
Thoroughly Modern Milly doesn’t know what woke “truly” means? Show us your boobs, Milly.
What a disgusting fraud he is.
The military is a led by a bunch of communists (i.e. democrats), that is dor sure.
I’d write in Goldwater before I’d vote for DeSantis.
“I’m not even sure what that word truly means”
This is probably a misprint. It should have been written, “I’m not sure what the word “truly” means”. Then everything makes sense.
What can you do when top military brass is thoroughly corrupted? There’s no Georgie patterns or Doug MacArthur.
What’s left today is a bunch of silly lifers without an ounce of courage. A series of useless wars has depleted and demoralized our military. Then add a deliberate influx of assorted perverts.
Well, Mark. That High School buddy, Rick Levine, you played football with is now pretending to be a woman, pretending that “she’s” military (created an HHS uniform for itself) is an example of “woke,” you dipsh!t. And you endorse her/she/it/they/them. Retire and lose some weight, you behemoth.
