BRiAN MAST: The most dangerous thing for our military is wokeness. Up to this point, that hasn't been the place that the military has really landed largely. There's been some folks trying to make those inroads in there over the last couple of years, but it's been able to be avoided.

The military is a serious place. It's life and death work at nearly every single level of it. It's always serious. It's very often dangerous. It's quite often deadly. That's no place for the wokeism that's going on here domestically. And we have to keep it out of there, it's going to cost people's lives in the end.
