Gen. Mark Milley on Critical Race Theory Debate: Education Is Critical to US Military, ‘Offensive' to Think Otherwise

During a congressional hearing on the U.S. defense budget on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley responded to a question on Critical Race Theory, pushing back against accusations of a ‘woke’ military. “It’s important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read. And the United States Military Academy is a university. And it is important that we train and we understand… it is important that the leaders now and in the future do understand it.”
