    Great plan… use diversity training as a tool to identify generals who might not be loyal, purge them and put stooges in place. This has worked out really well for Russias military.

      This working out great for the Russian military could be the reason behind the plan.

      Didn’t DeSantis (or his lawyer anyway) define it as ‘knowing there are systemic injustices and wanting to address them’ or something like it? I found it funny when I read that. Back when I was still on reddit, there was of course a huge SelfAwarewolves post about it.

        Which means calling something “woke” is also calling out what you perceive as systematic injustices in society.

        So being anti-woke is woke in of itself.

          Anti woke means you don’t want to address them so you aren’t woke.

          Perception isn’t enough

          Anti woke means you want to perpetuate systemic injustices by this definition.

      If it’s an Anti-woke uniform I imagine it’ll have a vinyl window over the crotch so everyone can see that you’re going into the bathroom that matches your genitalia. And of course it’ll have a flame thrower so you can burn all the books. You’ll probably need the skin color chart from Family Guy; better add grey and green on there to identify the extra-terrestrial aliens. Don’t forget your shoes must have heels because all the best Anti-woke crusaders wear heels!

      Hmm, what else…

      I didn’t use to be able to decode narcissism at a glance, but basically he’s mad that Mad Dog Mattis and his colleagues didn’t bend the knee.

      Honestly I have never been so accepting of the armed forces as when Mattis openly shunned Trump.

        Not just Mattis. He tried to order the active duty military to go after protestors in D.C. They reminded him of their oath and the Posse Comitatus Act. At volume. In the Oval Office. Then they released a force wide memo reminding everyone their oath was to the Constitution, not the President.

        He’s never forgiven the military for that.

          Yes. Despite all my deep resentments about our war-like ways, they earned a measure of respect for that.

            The military has a lot of bad things. But they are loyal to their own moral code. For an organization mostly made of people who wandered in from the street desperate for money or glory, I think that’s pretty neat.

              Most of the bad shit they’ve done, has been because idiots outside of uniform thought it was politically helpful to them.

              We need to stop ordering them to do bad shit and actually try to think before we send them places.

                That’s probably like 60 percent of it. They’ve definitely got internal problems like their sexual assault, suicide, and burn out rates. Also it can be a pretty toxic environment if you aren’t a lean runner body type or don’t conform to their culture. There’s also a gang problem on some bases. So yeah, they have bad things going on even without politicians giving them screwed up orders.

                  Fair, it’s basically somewhere between school and prison so those kind of environments breed that behavior, hard to keep that many young men together doing physical effort without the hormones getting unpleasant.

                  Still, other countries often handle it better so it’s clearly possible, we also should raise our recruitment standards but the war on terror put paid to that.

          Like when under Arab spring the Egyptian politicians tried to get the military involved to stop the protests, and got back (paraphrased)

          “Our primary job is to protect the Egyptian people from violence. You really don’t want us involved in this”

      That’s a line they actually use. They usually pair it with pictures of combat soldiers partying in My Little Pony costumes.

      They forget that those same guys would annihilate their backwoods militia before lunch if it came down to a fight.

    He wants to have the military be controlled on his every whim. Expect those that don’t comply (and didn’t in 2020) to be labed as woke and removed.
