Army Gen. Mark Milley pushed back on claims from Republicans that the military is “woke” and as a result not prepared to take on modern threats, saying he’s “not even sure what that word truly means.”

“What I see is a military that’s exceptionally strong. It’s powerful; it’s ready. In fact, our readiness rates, the way we measure readiness, is better now than they’ve been in years,” Milley said in a CNN interview Sunday.

Republican politicians and candidates have blasted the Pentagon for so-called woke policies, pointing to efforts to recruit a diverse group of military service members and be inclusive to transgender soldiers.

Those claims have also headlined efforts to reduce military spending.

        They aren’t able to shoot anyone who retreats, because they aren’t issued rifles.

        I hear that they have green blood, and are incapable of emotions. That’s why the Russian government has to assign couples, otherwise their society would collapse from lack of love like it did in the 90s.

        In fact Russia is so weak that its also a massive threat to the world and stability.
