Here's some news from last week, but it was brought to our attention Wednesday by Instapundit and others. The big news is that top military officials are concerned that if Pete Hegseth is confirmed as Secretary of Defense, he could dismiss up to 20 generals and high-ranking officers for being "woke."

Good. That's why he must be confirmed. 

Is the military woke? An outgoing Gen. Mark Milley told The Atlantic in 2023, "First of all, it’s all bulls**t. Second, these accusations are coming from people who don’t know what they’re talking about. They’re doing it for political purposes. Our military wasn’t woke 24 months ago, and now it’s woke?”

Who says it wasn't woke 24 months ago? You'll recall that Milley told Congress that he was on a mission to investigate "white rage" in the military and spoke highly about the DEI programs that had been put in place.

We ourselves have our concerns about Hegseth being confirmed.

You know the rot goes a lot deeper than just 20 generals.

No, it's not. Two-hundred? Two-thousand?

Hopefully, a lot will "self-deport" if he's confirmed, leaving behind those who do actually useful work.
