Of course, normal people knew this all along, but thanks to the general for speaking out with the truth:
Three-Star General: Teaching Critical Race Theory Leads To Military Failure

A three-star general has warned that teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the military divides soldiers by race, diminishes our “warfighting capabilities,” and increases the likelihood of “failure” on the battlefield.
Lieutenant General Greg Newbold (USMC, Ret.) strongly criticized military leaders — and civilian commanders — who “favor social engineering goals” over “meritocracy” and military preparedness.
“The tenets of Critical Race Theory – a cross-disciplinary intellectual and social movement that seeks to examine the intersection of race and law in the United States, but which has the unfortunate effect of dividing people along racial lines – undermine our military’s unity and diminish our warfighting capabilities,” wrote Newbold in the military publication Task & Purpose on Thursday. “[W]hen we highlight differences or group identity, we undermine cohesion and morale. Failure results.”
Newbold, the former director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military requires conformity and unity; “group identity is corrosive and … antithetical to the traits that deter a potential enemy and win the wars.”
“Those officeholders who dilute this core truth with civil society’s often appropriate priorities (diversity, gender focus, etc.) undermine the military’s chances of success in combat. Reduced chances for success mean more casualties,” he wrote.
