The nation’s top general fires back against criticism of the Pentagon’s efforts to combat racism and extremism

, who argued the Pentagon had embraced critical race theory, such as its inclusion in some courses at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

"I want to understand white rage — and I'm white," Milley told lawmakers. "What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?“ "Thanks for your anecdotal input," Austin shot back. "But I would say that I have gotten 10 times that amount of input, 50 times that amount of input, on the other side that has said, 'Hey, we're glad to have had the ability to have a conversation with ourselves and with our leadership.'"

"We have the military capability to do whatever is directed by the president of the United States with respect to our allies and those that have worked with us," Milley told Rep.

He is setting standards that should be adhered downstream

I have been in and worked for the military for 30 years. There is a new culture of wokeness being push by Washington, and it is disruptive and decisive. The general wouldn't know because he hasn't been in the real military in 20 years.

Joint chiefs chair Milley schools Gaetz on Critical Race TheoryDuring a hearing on Capitol Hill, Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sparred with Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz who criticized the Army general's interest in understanding Critical Race Theory. MSNBC's Brian Williams has details. I wonder who is served best with this 180 turn to demoralize and paint the military as weak and ineffectual. The people who use to screech like harpies at the slightest criticism of the military sure seem to have changed course (or sides) White liberals consider minorities, especially black people, to be 'Lesser Evolved'. They celebrate Darwin as a god, who was a full blown racist. Black folks shouldn't fall for this scam that will perpetuate them as a 'victim' class, setting up the Democrats as 'protector'. Priceless General Miley🇺🇸
