Sen Cotton Blasts Retraining the Military
[Epoch Times] Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on June 10 that "hundreds" of military whistleblowers have reported being forced to receive "anti-American indoctrination" training, including critical race theory (CRT).

In a Senate hearing with Austin, Cotton claimed that within the military, there’s "plummeting morale, growing mistrust between races and sexes where none existed just six months ago and unexpected retirements and separations based on these trainings alone."
Just purging the Trumpers.
In the hearing, Austin told Cotton that some training is designed to make sure that the armed forces are "welcoming to everyone who can qualify and who is fit to serve."

"We ought to look like the America we support and defend, and senior leadership should look like what's in the ranks," Austin said.

But Cotton suggested that claims the military is attempting to foster diversity with such training are incorrect.

"[It's] about a very specific kind of anti-American indoctrination that is seeping into some parts of our military, based on the whistleblower complaints we have received," he said.

One whistleblower, Cotton alleged, said that military history training was replaced with training about police brutality, "systemic racism," and "white privilege." Another said that his unit had to read "White Fragility" by feminist author and critical theory proponent Robin DiAngelo, according to the senator.

#2 "welcoming to everyone who can qualify and who is fit to serve."

The enemy doesn't give a crap about "fitting in". The enemy only wants to kill you as efficiently and effectively as possible. That is the very basics of who you recruit and train. If you don't, it won't matter cause you are not going to be around or in charge of anything.
