Earlier this month, Sen. Tom Cotton asked Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin if critical race theory should play any part in how the military operates, and Austin he does not.
The question for Austin had to do with questions about teaching and operating the military under CRT, but the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was asked about the same topic and had a different kind of response:
Strong reaction from Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley on the issue of critical race theory before House Armed Services.

Judging from some of the replies about those comments, the Left is really liking how the military’s being run under President Biden. Others, not so much:
Is BLM rioting black rage?

Call me crazy, but it’s more than a little unnerving listening to our top military commander discussing domestic objectives. That’s not why we have a military. This testimony should scare the hell out of any freedom loving American. As sure as it emboldens China & Russia. #Woke https://t.co/BN1UsUayWG

That’s almost certainly true.
