‘Our military leadership has gone woke!’ Tucker Carlson blasts Pentagon’s new ‘diversity and inclusion’ plans and appointments, saying officials are more concerned about race, gender and sexuality than they are with protecting Americans
- Carlson claims ‘woke’ officials have taken control of The Pentagon, compromising the safety of Americans

Tucker Carlson has lashed out at The Pentagon claiming it has been overtaken by ‘woke’ military officials who are more concerned with identity politics than they are with protecting the safety of the American people.
In the opening monologue of his Fox News show Friday, the conservative pundit claimed that a new ‘diversity and inclusion plan’ published by the Special Operations Command is evidence that the military has become preoccupied with gender, race, and sexuality.
‘If you’re wondering whether our military leadership has gone woke, consider that question settled for good. The Pentagon is now the Yale faculty lounge, but with cruise missiles,’ Carlson tartly stated.

‘The one thing we know about that plan is it will result in the dramatic lowering of standards within our elite ranks. It probably already has. How will that make America safer? The generals never said.’

Meanwhile, Carlson also critcized Joe Biden’s newly appointed Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin.
Austin, who is black, recently stated he would ‘fight hard to stamp out sexual assault and to rid our ranks of racists and extremists’.
