The Pentagon is struggling to keep up with national security interests in the wake of destruction and instability that have come with President Joe Biden.
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida blasted the Pentagon for their increasingly leftward lean.
"The United States military is the greatest fighting force in the world, but woke activists in the Biden Administration are undermining military readiness, cohesion, and purpose," Rubio told The Center Square.
America Is Vulnerable To Attack
"We cannot allow these left-wing crazies to hollow out our military. The world is an increasingly dangerous place and America’s security requires a strong military capable of deterring – and if need be, defending – our nation," Rubio added.
"Rubio’s comments come after The Center Square reported that the Pentagon is struggling to fulfill military requests even as it increasingly gives attention, and funds, to diversity, gender and critical race theory issues," reports JustTheNews.
"The Pentagon would struggle to manufacture enough precision missiles if conflict with China broke out, reports indicate. That comes after the U.S. sent over a decades worth of Stinger missiles to Ukraine as soon as the war there broke out, one of multiple shortages or potential shortages exposed by the U.S.’ support for Ukraine," reports JustTheNews.
Critics argue the military has become distracted.
Earlier this week, Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Chairman Glenn Grothman, R-Wisc., said he is deeply concerned about the "progressive ideals" infiltrating the military.
"We all know that the primary mission of the Armed Forces is to protect and defend the nation and our interests abroad," Grothman said. "However, the military is not the institution for social experiments and political correctness. This Administration seems to be willfully blinded by how its progressive ideals are affecting military readiness and recruitment."
