Hemingway: Pentagon’s Problem Isn’t Money, It’s Woke Ideology And Weak Generals
March 24, 2021 By The Federalist Staff
Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway said the Pentagon doesn’t need a budget increase, it needs to abandon its social justice agenda.
“I think the problem with the military budget is not the budget, but really what our understanding of the military is or what its purpose is, what the Pentagon should be doing,†Hemingway explained on “Special Report†Tuesday.
The GOP, Hemingway said, often views military defense like it is the 1980s, “when they had a lot of success in national elections by showing Democrats to be weak on defense and Republicans to be strong,†but the newest Pentagon problem isn’t about dollars.
“The problem is that our military has turned into something that thinks its job is to push social justice instead of defending the country from foreign adversaries,†she said. “No amount of money will fix that.â€
This new social justice behavior, Hemingway continued, is a “top to bottom†problem that requires immediate attention.
