A retired U.S. Army captain is developing a tip line for Defense Department employees to report instances of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the military.
The tip line will soon be found at RestoreTheMilitary.com, a project launched by Doug Truax, a former Army captain. The project seeks to “expose the bad actors bogging down the culture of America’s fighting forces with woke policies and corporatization” and “work to reshape the military into the fighting force it needs to be,” its website states.
Truax told Fox News that the nation’s military has “suffered from decades of neglect and lowered fitness standards. It’s made worse by the taint of woke policies like DEI and Critical Race Theory, which pit our servicemen against one another instead of unifying them to fight as a team.”
Discussing West Point, from which he graduated in 1992, Truax explained that service academies are “indoctrinating young officers in extreme, sexualized ideologies, instead of preparing them for combat.”
Truax noted that “de-woking the military” is only part of the solution, calling for “re-warriorizing the services.” He told the outlet, “It’s time for a culture change, a top-to-bottom transformation to forge elite warriors held to the highest standards of morality and lethality.”
The project bolsters President Donald Trump’s executive order restoring “merit and lethality” to the nation’s military. The order “moves our military away from this dark period and renews esprit de corps, readiness, and focus,” a fact sheet on the action reads. “It returns the Pentagon to the warfighter.”
