The team shared a video clip from a Fox News interview in which Trump stated, “I would get rid of them. You can’t have woke military.”
Trump’s remarks were in response to a question about his plans for the “woke generals at the top” during an exclusive interview with Fox & Friends Weekend in June.His comments followed the Pentagon’s decision to honor Pride Month, which led to the official Facebook page for the US Navy SEALs and Naval Special Warfare Command being mocked for marking the start of the month-long celebration.
In the interview, Trump claimed that he knew the “real fighting generals” and that there was no place for “woke” ideology in the military, except at the top levels. This is not the first time the former President has been embroiled in controversy over his comments about the military.
He has previously referred to fallen soldiers as “losers and suckers” and instructed his aides to exclude disabled veterans from events.
Moreover, Trump recently claimed that the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award, holds more significance than the Medal of Honor, the highest military award, because its recipients are either deceased or have sustained combat injuries. These comments have drawn criticism from various quarters, with many questioning his respect for the military and its sacrifices.
