Chairman Grothman: The term 'wokeness' has become a topic of discussion, both within and outside military circles, and is prompting us to scrutinize how ideological shifts may impact the readiness and effectiveness of the armed forces, as well as how our military is affected once they begin to adapt this kind of woke ideology.

Chairman Grothman: Our military is grappling with the Biden administration's social experiments of integrating principals of diversity, equity, and inclusion, or what's referred to as DEI, into their ranks…DEI managers are making over a hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year.

Garcia: To recruit from the most diverse generation in history, we also need a military that looks like America.

[it's not going to look like that much longer, you weirdo]

Lohmeier: I'm an Air Force Academy graduate, former F15-C fighter pilot, and was a Lieutenant Colonel and Commander in the Space Force. In 2021, I was fired from my command for writing a book, trying to reverse the trend of the overt politicization of the uniformed services. Specifically, I criticized the military's diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings, which, at my own base, were illegally occurring, despite an executive order from the commander in chief.. The diversity, equity, and inclusion industry is steeped in critical race theory, and is rooted in anti-American marxist ideology.

Thibeau: What is problematic, is when West Point, for example, has racial goals for every admissions class, and admissions leaders are evaluated whether or not they meet race-based goals.

Lohmeier: The American Pilot Training Class, it was in 2021, actually, in which we chose those selected for that pilot training class in Texas, based on the gender and their ethnicity, so that we could make the pilot training class look more like the United States of America. That didn't turn out well….performance suffered.

Garcia: It's clear that a more diverse military is good for our national security, and is good as a reflection of the whole country.

Fox: In 2021, the United States Military Academy at West Point taught cadets critical race theory, through a seminar titled, 'Understanding Whiteness and White Rage'.
