The woke military won't work - American Thinker

Eric Utter "Some British soldiers are demanding that their nation's armed forces introduce vegan uniforms that comport with their beliefs and practices.  According to online reports, a newly formed group in the British Army called "The Ministry of Defence Vegan and Vegetarian Network" has launched a campaign to empower vegans and vegetarians in the armed forces.

"One of the policies proposed by the vegan group is for military personnel to have the option to wear vegetarian-approved footwear not made from real leather.  Incredibly, the Royal Air Force has allegedly considered the notion.  This despite the fact that "vegan leather" may well be worse for the environment than real leather due to its lack of biodegradability and its use of plastic polymers.  Moreover, the non-animal-based synthetic materials are less durable than natural ones, such as the genuine leather used in standard military combat equipment.  Furthermore, the vegan alternatives would be significantly more costly than current materiel — and simply unfeasible in some instances.  

"The move to make the military openly inclusive to every woke group, no matter how small, is part of a broader effort by proponents of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) to revamp military doctrine to reflect trends they say are "relevant to our soldiers in the 21st century."  Such as doing away with the recognition of sexual dimorphism and gearing up to fight white supremacy, Christianity, patriotism, "toxic masculinity," and climate change?". . .
