I have friends I served with in the military, though I don't really care for them anymore. They say the military needed to get rid of it's wokeness. I'm like, you want to get rid of the experienced troops because their woke? He said it went to far in the military. At that point, I reminded him that I am a female veteran, who did serve in a combat zone along side of him. He said he wasn't talking about me. I told him diversity is what brings the military together. All different cultures and levels of experience come together to defend a country. Extreme religion got to these guys. It's just so bad. Never have I seen anything like it. We were prepared for war back in the day. Not sure what is going in now but Hegseth needs to be the first to get purged.
