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.
Not that “based” makes sense here either, but yes, exactly: “woke” means whatever the speaker wants it to mean at the time, like “cromulent”.
That’s not entirely true. To pass the “stop WOKE act”, the bill had to have a definition of"wokeness". You know what the definition is? Awareness of systemic injustice.
Jesus Christ, we all have the goddamn internet:
This isn’t hard!
Thats… Not the meaning of woke according to alt righters
PersnicketyPenguin was being sarcastic 😂
Finding satire on the internet is really hard sometimes
