Remind them of Lance Corporal Crosby wounded while serving in Iraq, look at the cosponsors. Notice anything?

Another bill this one to care for the families of the military. Of course you could argue that if the military wanted you to have a family they would have issued you one if that's how you roll.

To their credit helping the military get back to normal life is Bipartisan.

This didn't go through Congress but rather came out of the military itself. I'm post 2 links on this one because I absolutely hate PDFs but it is the source material and then there is the easier to digest Reuter Article which is no where near a liberal rag. Nothing is perfect but this isn't NYP that you can just dismiss (even though nobody here has ever pointed out when they've flat out lied or been wrong.
So this is part one of when you hear someone on the right talking about how "wokeism" will destroy readiness what they mean is that a world where black people feel they are treated as equals and respected would HARM our military not IMPROVE it.

Here's part 2 about discrimination against the LGBT community. Do I need to explain the complete lack of support for that community on the Right? As in a major Presidential Candidate (With zero chance of winning) is currently at war with Disney over this or reiterate that they don't want "woke policies" being taught to our military because it will affect readiness? Units all have time set aside to teach courses many of which are just preparing people to be leaders at higher ranks. I always gave some BS either history or why this or that was on the Commandant's reading list. It was just to kill between thirty and sixty minutes.
I will add that if you think you don't know whose not straight in your unit you're insane. You sleep in the same barracks or in my case they were really dorms not barracks but still. You eat together, you work together. You go to the club together and noticing the person who isn't checking out that one girl or is flat out pretending not to notice that she moved three stools to sit next to him. The person you never seen with a woman at any of the "moral building mandatory fun times." You know but you're not allowed to talk about it with your "family".
That affects morale and readiness. Being the one person who can't kiss their lover good bye. But hey wokeness is the problem.

Women are discriminated against, harrassed and sometimes even assaulted. This isn't 100% limited to them, men who are deemed insufficiently masculine will catch crap too. So ONE MORE TIME. An attack on wokeness in the military is a direct attack the readiness.

While its impossible to quantify how bad it actually is we know that homelessness is a problem among vets. So why are only two Republicans willing to put their names down on this?

So don't let them fool you, not for a second. They do not love the military, they love the industrial complex that gets MOST of the money. They love parades. For as much as they taught the Constitution and the military and supposedly hate cancel culture Colin Kaepernic was the first and they canceled him hard for excercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution and paid for in blood by people Crosby. I'm not gonna look up the name of the basketball player nor the soccer player but you know they exist.
