For those not watching the hearings, I can summarize the GOP Senators' position on Hegseth for you.

Our current Military under President Biden is permeated with Woke, DEI, and Cultural Marxism and Hegseth will fix all that.

That's pretty much it.

Is the United States military second to anyone?

It sure sounds like they are lacking, they are weak. They have failed.

Republicans who hate Woke are in league with what the Enemy wants power worshippers to do.

My platoon Sergeant was the EO rep in our unit and he gave excellent Equal Opportunity briefings which the modern right would find offensive but no one gave a shit back then.

The Air Force Academy was when she went there. Though, come to think of it, after a 25 year career, she is pretty liberal and she really can't stand Trump.
