The defense secretary’s decision to block the officers’ promotions appears driven by his anti-woke stance rather than based on merit.

To be clear “woke” in this case means “able to compete on equal footing with white men”

    This bodes very badly… Historically, the officer corps have been filled with educated, intelligent people. Which has probably prevented us from doing stupid shit, behind the scenes, countless times.

    Doing away with that intelligence will be the end of us. If this shit is allowed to become the new normal for the officer corps, then we are truly fucked.
