Air Force Colonel, Selected for Promotion to Brigadier General, Pushes DEI, CRT, and Racist DogmaAir Force Colonel demonizes his fellow “white colonels” as racists and embraces racist propaganda – the result? Promotion to Brigadier General!We have reported at length on Army General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his replacement-in-waiting, Air Force General Charles Q. “C.Q.” Brown, who both seem to have a penchant for all things “woke”:
• Disturbing Reports From US Troops and ROTC Cadets of “Woke” Military Priorities
• Ideological Capture: When Top Military Leaders Adopt Critical Race Theory Verbiage
