Rep. Mike Waltz to Lead Heritage Foundation Panel on Combating Wokeness in the Military "Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), an Army Green Beret, is chairing a think-tank panel that will combat wokeness in the military and look at how to turn around its recruiting crisis, he said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday.
"The panel, hosted by the Heritage Foundation, will take a deep look at how to refocus the military on winning wars versus initiatives aimed at diversity, equity, and inclusion — many of which were begun under the Obama administration and have been redoubled under the Biden administration.
"Waltz, an Army National Guard colonel slated to become the chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, spoke to Breitbart News. “This is about a warrior culture that we need to maintain — one that is focused on winning our nation’s wars. And I think the big theme that you’ll hear from me and from this panel is it’s about standards — not gender or race, or socioeconomic background,” he said.". . .
"The secretary claims that the Army is operationally ready, as if she is somehow qualified to assess military readiness, though she never served a day in uniform. She knows this, she says, because she's visited posts and installations at home and overseas.
"Right.
"Just over the last few weeks, the Heritage Foundation published its 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, noting that for the first time since it began publishing the annual study, the military is "weak" and "at growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America's vital national interests."
"Let that sink in. Under Biden's stewardship, the American military has become "weak."
"Perhaps Secretary Wormuth should explain how the Army can sustain operational readiness when it can't come close to meeting its recruiting goals.
"Fox News reported on October 1 that the Army missed its recruiting goals by 25% this year — a dangerous shortfall. Why the shortfall? The wasteful woke, morale-devastating policies rammed down the Army's throat kill reenlistment. That's why.
"No wonder the Heritage Foundation concludes that the United States military is "weak."
"The military's goal is to defeat the enemy, not get sidetracked with progressive political poppycock.
"Madame Secretary, the Army is not your social breeding ground for woke experimentation.".

UPDATE: Madame Secretary, Your Woke Policies are Killing the Army
. . .You're driving your own soldiers away and can't find enough replacements to fill the ranks. Your claims that the Army is operationally sound are not credible. Your insistence upon this woke foolishness threatens national security.
Let's axe "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," cut the wokeness, and get back to combat readiness.
Let us wage war on "woke," with a vengeance, and cut it from our midst, like a surgeon removing a deadly cancerous tumor. Throw woke on the rotting garbage heap of history, and return the Army to Trump-era levels.
