The Pentagon’s top general told lawmakers Wednesday he finds it “offensive” that some are accusing top military officers of being “woke.”

Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley made the comments as some Republican lawmakers are accusing the Defense Department of pushing “wokeness.” Top defense officials say the programs are intended to rid the ranks of extremism and promote diversity, but the conservatives see political correctness going overboard.

"I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our noncommissioned officers of being quote 'woke,'” Milley told lawmakers Thursday.

I guess he's too thin skinned to deal with the truth.  Compared to what Trump supporters have been called over the past 5 years, he should be thankful for that little criticism.  And maybe, just maybe, if he kept his attention on  the military and nose out of PC and politics, he wouldn't even see that much criticism.
