GOP congresswoman rips Pentagon for prioritizing 'wokeness' over combatting sexual assaults in military
Fox News
Republican Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is going after the Pentagon over its opposition to her bill aimed at preventing sexual assault in the military.
"The DOD’s response to my office says all you need to know about the state of our military right now. It seems that the DOD prioritizes wokeness and imaginary solutions over equipping our service members with the right training to defend themselves and become a stronger fighting force for our country," Luna told Fox News Digital following the Pentagon expressing its opposition to the bill.

In its response to the bill shared with Fox by Luna's office, the Pentagon said the classes "could re-traumatize many victims of sexual assault," go against efforts to improve the treatment of victims of sexual assault by instilling that "burden of physical resistance," and "would train potential or alleged perpetrators how to counter victim tactics."
