Army Gen. Mark Milley pushed back on claims from Republicans that the military is “woke” and as a result not prepared to take on modern threats, saying he’s “not even sure what that word truly means.”
“What I see is a military that’s exceptionally strong. It’s powerful; it’s ready. In fact, our readiness rates, the way we measure readiness, is better now than they’ve been in years,” Milley said in a CNN interview Sunday.
Republican politicians and candidates have blasted the Pentagon for so-called woke policies, pointing to efforts to recruit a diverse group of military service members and be inclusive to transgender soldiers.
Those claims have also headlined efforts to reduce military spending.

If he doesn't know what it means, how does he know the military isn't it?
The military is accused of following a "woke agenda". If they don't know what it means they cannot be following it.
Doesn't take a lot of brainpower to understand that.
Unfortunately the brain you're speaking to is all gassed out.
What does it mean then?
Definition of woke please.
Well, it depends on the definition of what "it" is.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
Look, Faith no More defined "it" back in 89 with their song Epic.
Huh, I didn't see the word "it" in their comment, but the word "woke" has been in use for 80 years. Pretty sure we have a definition.
