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.

    It’s pretty obvious that Gen. Milley is wearing a wig, and what do you think he’s hiding below that wig?

    My guess would be an M1A1 Abrams, painted in blue, pink and white.

    Gen. Milley’s preferred pronoun is Xe, so put some respect on that shit.

    And if those idiots are going to keep up with this ‘military woke’ shit, Gen. Milley is going identify as a fucking/problem.
