Republicans who have been challenging the spread of “woke” ideology in the military and elsewhere are not pleased with how Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley hit back on their concerns about critical race theory.

In a House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, Milley had a forceful response to previous lines of questioning from Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz and Michael Waltz, both from Florida, who had grilled Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on critical race theory in the military.
