Rep. Mike Waltz Introduces WARRIOR Act to Stop Wokeness in the MilitaryKristina Wong 12 May 2023
Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee chairman, introduced a bill on Thursday that aims to stop the Biden administration from further politicizing the Department of Defense and improve military readiness.
Waltz introduced the “Working to Address Recruiting and Retention to Improve Our Readiness,” or WARRIOR, Act, which would force the Biden Pentagon to stop using race as a basis to hire and promote staff and stop teaching Critical Race Theory in military training and at service academies.
The bill would also appoint a Special Master to look at remedies for current and former service members who were punished by their refusal to comply with the Biden administration’s military coronavirus vaccine mandate. The Special Master could restore separated members back into service with back pay.
“Under the Biden Administration, the Pentagon has diverted its focus from lethality and have instead pushed initiatives that have politicized our warfighting ranks and harmed our military readiness,” Waltz, a Green Beret and Army National guard colonel, said in a statement.
“Our military faces the worst recruiting crisis since the Vietnam War because young Americans don’t want to join what was once a trusted institution that has become overly politicized and hyper-focused on DEI initiatives,” Waltz added. “The reforms proposed in this legislation will restore a merit-based culture to our ranks, audit unnecessary and political DEI programs, and require cost-benefit analysis reports for green-energy focused proposals.”
