Democrats scuttle debate over ‘woke’ military policies … for now – By Leo Shane III (Federal Times) / Dec 13, 2022
House Democrats on Tuesday staved off a floor debate over “woke” military policies regarding force diversity, but likely only for a short while.
That’s because House Republicans vowed to return to the issue when they take the majority in the chamber, which happens at the start of next year.
“Next year, the new majority will be conducting robust oversight of these issues and we will demand accountability from this administration,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., who is expected to take over as House Armed Services Committee chairman when Republicans take control of the chamber.
“Americans are growing increasingly concerned with the direction of the military in recent years. DoD’s current political appointees are pushing questionable policies on our troops just to satisfy the ideological agenda of a minority of Americans.”
