Lawmakers accuse Army of ignoring ‘woke’ policies that hurt recruiting – By Leo Shane III (Military Times) / Feb 23, 2023

A pair of Republican House leaders on Thursday accused Army officials of covering up evidence that social justice initiatives are hurting military recruiting efforts, and demanded the service turn over all survey data on the topic to Congress.

“We continue to receive analysis of cherry-picked data that is not giving us the full picture of why the Army is seeing historically low recruitment and retention rates,” said Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s panel on readiness, in a statement.

“Right now, it should be the shared goal of Congress, our military leaders, and the [President Joe] Biden administration to get to the bottom of this crisis so we can ensure our military is ready for any threat our nation faces.”
