‌ ⁤ ⁢

Ron DeSantis unveiled his plan to ‌”rip the woke out of the military ​and return it to ⁢its core‌ mission” during‌ a⁣ campaign‌ stop ‍in Columbia, ‍South‍ Carolina, on July 18.

DeSantis’s plan goes⁣ beyond traditional military ⁤topics like ​weaponry and ⁢theaters ‍of engagement.⁢ Instead, ⁤it focuses on ‍undoing⁢ what he‌ sees as the Biden ‍administration’s excessive⁤ emphasis ​on diversity and ⁢inclusion, critical race ⁢theory, and climate change.⁣ DeSantis⁤ believes that by refocusing on the fundamentals ‍of warfare, ⁢the armed ⁤forces‍ can⁤ regain their strength.

In his speech,⁤ DeSantis criticized ⁣the​ current⁤ direction of the American ​military.

“It’s⁢ a‌ military that has been⁢ ordered⁤ by civilian officials to pursue political ideology, to pursue social experimentation, to​ be ⁣yet another ⁢institution in​ American life ​that‌ gets‍ infected with the woke mind⁤ virus,” ‌DeSantis said.

In his ‌campaign⁢ platform,‌ DeSantis also ​calls for the disciplining ​of retired⁣ generals and admirals‌ who‌ speak out against public⁤ officials, the revocation‍ of security clearances for‍ paid‌ news analysts, and‍ the punishment of troops who show contempt ⁤for​ elected officials. He aims ‍to disrupt the⁣ revolving door between defense jobs, lobbying firms, and military contractors.

⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁢

Ron DeSantis served as a legal⁤ adviser to ‍SEAL Team One in Iraq, ‍including during the battle‍ of Fallujah in 2007, earning⁣ a Bronze‌ Star​ for ⁤meritorious ‌service.

DeSantis ‌advocates for military promotions based solely on⁤ merit, rather​ than‌ prioritizing ‌race ⁢or ‌gender. He also opposes⁢ using taxpayer funds for sex-change⁤ operations for transgender ⁣service ‌members. He⁢ believes that the military should⁤ focus⁢ on its core mission ‌and‌ not engage in ​activities‌ like drag shows on military bases.

“If ‌you look at the threats‍ that ‍this country has from China, when China sees ‌the⁤ Navy, for ⁣example, using drag queens to⁤ recruit people, they are laughing in ⁣our face,” ⁣DeSantis said.

Banning Drag Shows on Military Bases

Ron⁤ DeSantis pledges⁢ to ⁣ban drag shows like⁢ this one, at the CMT Music Awards ⁢in⁤ Austin,​ Texas,⁤ on April 2, 2023,‌ from military bases.

DeSantis’s military platform consists of​ four key pillars: ⁤removing political ​agendas ‍from the⁢ military, restoring military ⁢standards, promoting accountability, and⁣ addressing the⁢ Biden administration’s‍ recruiting crisis.

To restore military standards, DeSantis ​emphasizes recognizing‍ the​ differences between men⁢ and ‌women, eliminating racial preferences,⁤ and ‍adhering⁣ to one standard⁤ of⁢ readiness. He also advocates⁢ for ‍transparency in performance​ data ⁣and opposes equity initiatives related ⁤to⁤ standards and ‍readiness.

DeSantis opposes ⁤race​ and gender⁣ quotas in military recruiting and ‍promotions, ⁤instead prioritizing⁣ merit. He also promises ⁢to reinstate service ⁢members‌ who were discharged due to⁤ their vaccination status​ and restore their ‌pay.

DeSantis aims to remove climate change as a military⁤ priority, ending ⁣climate⁣ activist ‌policies ⁢and⁤ halting⁤ the tracking of greenhouse gas ⁤emissions‌ by military contractors. He also opposes ‌military ​funding for environmental justice projects.

Additionally, ‌DeSantis ⁤calls for the prosecution of service ‌members who ⁢speak contemptuously against⁢ certain public officials​ and ⁤the revocation of⁣ security ⁣clearances for retired defense leadership seeking‌ to ‌monetize their access ⁣to ‌inside information. He ⁤proposes ‌a ⁣cooling-off period⁣ for Pentagon officials transitioning ‍to ‌military contractor roles or lobbying positions.

DeSantis’s plan prioritizes‍ accountability and readiness ⁣within the⁣ military.⁤ He believes that‍ by refocusing on‍ the​ core mission, the‌ armed forces‌ can​ regain their ⁣strength and protect⁢ the nation.
