'Woke' issues distracted leaders from Afghanistan, former military officials say
Fox News
As the Senate Armed Services Committee gets ready to grill military leaders about the Afghanistan debacle on Tuesday, multiple recent Department of Defense officials tell Fox News that an internal focus on left-wing cultural battles likely distracted top brass from Afghanistan planning and military readiness.
"They never met once on readiness. But they met every week on transgender issues, extremism, racism, sexual assault, sexual harassment, et cetera," a former official said, adding that that the focus likely distracted from Afghanistan planning.
"There's only 168 hours in a week. They were spending all their time on these things, particularly early on. Yes, they were distracted," an official said.
