Retired Army General Mark Milley — who most recently served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — has accepted teaching positions at two prestigious universities.
According to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/02/13/retired-mark-milley-georgetown-princeton-faculties" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Axios, Milley will be instructing students at both Princeton University — his own alma mater — and Georgetown University in subjects relating to national security.
Milley attended Princeton, where he graduated in 1980 and received his commission through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program. His return to the school will see him acting as a Charles and Marie Robertson visiting professor through the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA).
According to a statement from Princeton University, Milley &#8220;will serve as a guest lecturer, meet with students, engage with alumni and faculty, and provide input on the School&#8217;s Security Studies Ph.D. program.&#8221;
Dean Amaney Jamal praised the decision, saying that Milley&#8217;s &#8220;experience in the nation&#8217;s capital as well as abroad in conflict zones&#8221; would provide excellent context for his students in the coming year. His appointment at Princeton is set to expire in June of 2025.
Milley&#8217;s tenure as Joint Chiefs Chair was marked by a number of high-profile clashes with former President Donald Trump, his involvement in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-ultimate-disrespect-gold-star-families-trash-biden-admin-over-afghanistan-withdrawal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disastrous withdrawal</a> from Afghanistan in 2021, and several contentious <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-less-about-white-rage-more-about-not-losing-wars-hillbilly-elegy-author-rips-top-u-s-general" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol Hill hearings</a> regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the military.

&#8220;I’ve read Mao Tse-Tung; I’ve read Karl Marx; I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?&#8221; Milley said during a 2021 hearing.
&#8220;And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, non-commissioned officers, of being ‘woke’ or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there.&#8221;

The latest recruiting numbers from the United States Army have shown a precipitous drop-off in white recruits over the last several years – and among other factors, some insiders are blaming &#8220;partisan attacks against the military for its efforts to recruit and support a diverse force.&#8221;
According to a <a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/01/10/army-sees-sharp-decline-white-recruits.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Wednesday by Military.com, white recruits were down 6% from 2022 to 2023 alone — and had dropped off by double digits since 2018, when just over half (56.4%) of all Army recruits were classified as &#8220;white.&#8221; In 2023, 44% of all Army recruits were classified as &#8220;white.&#8221;
In real numbers, there were 44,042 white recruits in 2018 — and that fell to just 25,070 in 2023. Recruiting numbers have decreased overall during that same period, resulting in the Army <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-pronouns-less-recruits-u-s-military-facing-unprecedented-recruiting-crisis-under-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failing to meet</a> its recruiting goal of 55,000 in 2023 — but non-white demographics have seen increases by percentage over those same years.
Between 2018 and 2023, black recruits are up 4% (from 20% to 24%), and Hispanic recruits have risen 7% (from 17% to 24%). The overall numbers have not risen dramatically, but because white recruits have decreased in such numbers, other demographics now make up a larger percentage of the overall recruiting pool.
The Army has been working to encourage recruiting efforts and told Military.com that they could not nail down one specific cause — instead, they &#8220;pointed to a confluence of issues for Army recruiting, including partisan scrutiny of the service, a growing obesity epidemic and an underfunded public education system.&#8221;

One other factor, they told the outlet, was the increase in &#8220;partisan&#8221; criticism of the military overall as it worked to embrace and implement <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-less-about-white-rage-more-about-not-losing-wars-hillbilly-elegy-author-rips-top-u-s-general" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)</a> into both recruitment and retention across all branches of service.
The suggestion was that conservative media outlets and legislators, by attacking the military&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/female-military-recruit-forced-to-shower-with-two-trans-identifying-men-considered-resigning-senator-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adoption of &#8220;woke&#8221; policies</a>, had telegraphed to a &#8220;mostly white audience&#8221; that the Army was less attractive a career option than it had been in years past.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a level of prestige in parts of conservative America with service that has degraded. Now, you can say you don&#8217;t want to join, for whatever reason, or bad-mouth the service without any cultural guilt associated for the first time in those areas,&#8221; one Army official told the outlet.

The decorated combat veteran began by listing several ways he believed the U.S. military had strayed from its core values and mission under Milley&#8217;s leadership, saying, &#8220;Under Milley, our military has become politicized and trust in the military is in free fall.

Congressman And Green Beret Explodes On Mark Milley: ‘His Retirement Couldn’t Come Soon Enough’

Congressman And Green Beret Explodes On Mark Milley: 'His Retirement Couldn't Come Soon Enough'

Politics

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, insisted that he was not sure what the word “woke” means.
Milley spoke on Sunday with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, who <a href="https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/fzgps/date/2023-09-17/segment/01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, “You talk about how the military is not woke. How the military officers should be reading Karl Marx,” then asked, “Is the U.S. military too woke?”
“No, not at all,” Milley initially responded, then continued, “You know, I&#8217;m not even sure what that word truly means.”
“But I would tell you that the military I see is a military that is exceptionally strong, it&#8217;s powerful, it&#8217;s ready,” Milley declared. “In fact, our readiness rate is — the way we measure readiness is better now than they&#8217;ve been in years.”
“This military is a lot of things, but woke it is not,” Milley claimed. “So, I take exception to that. I think that people say those things for reasons that are their own reasons. But it&#8217;s not true. It&#8217;s not accurate. And it is not to say, by the way, that there is — there is not some things out there that are — could be fit into that category. But I don&#8217;t think it certainly is — it is not a broad-brush description of the U.S. military as it exists today.”
In June 2021, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/highest-ranking-u-s-military-official-defends-teaching-crt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testifying</a> before the House Armed Services Committee on President Biden’s 2022 budget request, Milley defended the reading of Critical Race Theory (CRT) texts by the United States military, asserting, “I&#8217;ve read Mao Tse-Tung; I&#8217;ve read Karl Marx; I&#8217;ve read Lenin. That doesn&#8217;t make me a communist.” Milley claimed he “personally” found it “offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, non-commissioned officers, of being &#8216;woke&#8217; because we&#8217;re studying some theories that are out there.”
Regarding “white rage,” Milley said, “But I do think it&#8217;s important actually for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read and the United States Military Academy is a university and it is important that we train and we understand, and I want to understand white rage and I&#8217;m white.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/United-States-Air-Force-Academy-42.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in September 2022 that Air Force cadets had been instructed not to use gender-specific terms like “Mom” or “Dad” and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-military-forget-mom-dad-use-woke-substitutes-instead-air-force-cadets-told" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replace</a> such terms with words such as “parent” or “caregiver.” That instruction was featured at the Air Force Academy in Colorado as part of cadets’ “Diversity and inclusion (D&amp;I) training.” “Our leaders have deemed D&amp;I a warfighting imperative,” the cadets were told.
In July 2021, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) started by saying to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, “Mr. Secretary, I have received, along with Congressman Crenshaw, several hundred whistleblower complaints about Pentagon extremist and diversity training. I just want to share a small selection of what your troops are saying.”
He followed by citing reports of a military history training session being replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism; instructions to a member of Special Operations that “The U.S. Special Operations community is racist”; a general officer telling an Army officer that “the entire U.S. Army is racist”; a midshipman at the Naval Academy attesting that classmates were calling America a “fundamentally racist place” and were not challenged by school administrators; an airman saying their unit was forced into a racist exercise called a “privilege walk”; a Space Force officer saying an African-American servicemember said after the training that she would never have joined the military had she known that it was such a hotbed of racism; and a white airman who said he didn’t sign up to be indoctrinated, then filed separation paperwork.

Joint Chiefs Of Staff Chairman Milley Protests: I’m Not Sure What Woke Means

Wokeness

Gen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-milley">Mark Milley</a>, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he did not receive any &#8220;illegal&#8221; orders after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2020-election">2020 election</a>.
Martha Raddatz, anchor of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; noted that <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/07/15/joint-chiefs-staff-planned-stop-trump-coup-over-election-claims/7975643002/">reports</a> &#8220;abounded&#8221; saying that Milley worried former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> might try to use the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/military">military</a> to stay in power.
&#8220;Were you concerned at any time that you might receive an illegal order after Election Day?&#8221; she asked the general <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYFr5JgVvhc">in an interview that aired on Sunday</a>.
&#8220;I never did receive an illegal order,&#8221; Milley responded. Pressed again if he was at least concerned about it, the top military official added, &#8220;No, you know, I argued the case at various times for alternative courses of action. Never received an illegal order.&#8221;
Reports about Milley and other military officials fearing that Trump might attempt a coup date back more than two years.
At the time, Trump fired back with a statement that said, &#8220;If I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/mark-milley-feared-coup-after-trump-lost-to-biden-book.html">He also said</a>, &#8220;I&#8217;m not into coups!&#8221;
Trump is now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latest-2024-presidential-polling-trump-rises-above-biden-again">running a 2024 campaign</a> seeking another term in the White House, possibly leading to a 2020 rematch against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>. Trump is doing so while facing indictments in four criminal cases, including two focused on alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The former president has denied any wrongdoing, pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces, and claims that politically motivated prosecutors are conducting a “witch hunt” against him.
Milley, who is set to retire in the coming weeks as his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joint-chiefs-nominee-knocks-tubervilles-hold-on-military-promotions">term as chairman</a> of the Joint Chiefs of Staff comes to an end, also said in his interview with ABC that he is not concerned about the prospect of another January 6.
&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not nervous about it,&#8221; Milley said, adding later, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get nervous about a lot of things. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of combat. So I&#8217;m beyond that actually.&#8221;
Pressed on his level of confidence, Milley added, &#8220;I am confident that the United States and the democracy in this country will prevail and the rule of law will prevail. I&#8217;m absolutely confident of that. And these institutions are built to be strong, resilient, and to adapt to the times, and I&#8217;m 100 percent confident we&#8217;ll be fine.&#8221;

A number of Gold Star family members laid into President Joe Biden and members of his administration, calling them out over the disastrous exit from Afghanistan that took the lives of their loved ones.
At an event in Escondido, California — hosted by Mayor Dane White and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) — relatives of the thirteen service members killed by the suicide bomber at the Kabul airport on August 26, 2021, joined together to speak publicly about their experiences.
Issa introduced the event, billed as the Afghanistan Gold Star Families Public Forum, saying that while they had officially allotted five minutes for each family member who wanted to speak, no one was going to enforce time limits as long as the families had something to share.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Issa also made it clear that the ultimate goal was to make sure that such a tragedy never happened again: &#8220;Did they have to die? Could we have done something different? &#8230; I only apologize that we didn’t do it sooner.&#8221;
Then the family members began to speak, and they had little if anything positive to say about Biden and the military leaders who had been a part of the decision-making process during the troop drawdown and withdrawal — and most were absolutely furious that the administration had then insisted the withdrawal had been a &#8220;success.&#8221;
SSG Taylor Hoover&#8217;s mother was among those who spoke, and she said that the blame for her son&#8217;s death rested on Biden, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and others. &#8220;Incompetent, cowards, evil,&#8221; she said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Taylor’s concern was immediately apparent when he got to Afghanistan, Kelly says. He warned her of:
“Chaos, lack of communication, no leadership.” “Command cares nothing for us.”
“What kind of disrespect, what kind of hatred for our military, what kind of mess” would have made…

Hoover&#8217;s father spoke as well, saying that the Biden administration &#8220;did not uphold their end of that contract.&#8221;
&#8220;This didn’t need to happen in the manner that it did,&#8221; he added, saying that leadership had &#8220;made a conscious decision that made a chaotic and frantic withdrawal from Afghanistan.&#8221;
He went on to call out those leaders, saying that it was &#8220;nothing short of disgusting and ignorant&#8221; that they had turned around and claimed that the withdrawal had been a success. &#8220;I’m calling out Secretary Blinken, Secretary Austin, General Milley &#8230; and ultimately, the president, and do what our son did: and be a grown ass man &#8230; You all need to resign immediately. Our sons and daughters have more integrity in their little toes than all of them combined.&#8221;

Nicole Gee&#8217;s mother said she knew no forum would ever bring her daughter back, but her goal in speaking was to make sure that the service members who came afterward would be treated with the respect earned by the 13 who lost their lives that day in Kabul.
&#8220;When our leaders, include the secretary of defense and our commander in chief, called this a ‘success,’… it’s like a knife in the heart,&#8221; she said. &#8220;These deaths were preventable. My daughter could be with us today. To call it a success is the ultimate disrespect. There were 13 avoidable deaths &#8230; This was not a success.

Dylan Merola&#8217;s mother called Biden &#8220;heartless,&#8221; saying that he had claimed to know how she felt but never once mentioned her son&#8217;s name. &#8220;If they had closed the gate, my son would be alive today,&#8221; she added.

Hunter Lopez&#8217;s mother said that she believed there was more to the story — and objected to the notion that it was time to &#8220;turn the page.&#8221;
&#8220;If fault was to be found in someone wearing fatigues and not a suit, they would have been on trial a long time ago,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;We do not want a partial truth or truth told in a book release…as Americans, we want this truth.

Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas canceled an all-ages drag show scheduled for Thursday after officials pointed to a Pentagon policy prohibiting using federal funds to host drag shows on U.S. military property.
Air Force officials initially approved the event to kick off Pride Month until Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Gen. Mark Milley, ordered the base to cancel or relocate the show off-site.
&#8220;Per DoD Joint Ethics Regulation (JER), certain criteria must be met for persons or organizations acting in non-Federal capacity to use DoD facilities and equipment,&#8221; spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-leaders-cancel-drag-show-nevada-nellis-air-force-base-rcna87142" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC</a>. &#8220;As Secretary Austin has said, the DOD will not host drag events at U.S. military installations or facilities.&#8221;
&#8220;Hosting these types of events in federally funded facilities is not a suitable use of DOD resources,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Our Service members are diverse and are allowed to have personal outlets.&#8221;
The show was reportedly billed as &#8220;family-friendly&#8221; with no minimum age requirement. They have been hosting drag performances at the base since its historic &#8220;Drag-u-Nellis&#8221; show in June 2021, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/31/pentagon-orders-nevada-air-force-base-to-cancel-drag-show/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>.
Organizers described the event as &#8220;an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the history and significance of drag performance art within the LGBT+ community.&#8221;
Austin, who has previously said the military supports Pride Month and the &#8220;LGBTQ+&#8221; citizens that fought to defend the U.S. since its foundation, told a House Armed Services Committee in March that &#8220;drag shows are not something the Defense Department supports or funds.&#8221;
During the same hearing, Milley said he would look into such events on military bases to &#8220;find out what actually is going on there&#8221; while claiming he doesn&#8217;t condone such shows.
&#8220;I&#8217;d like to take a look at those because I don&#8217;t agree with those,&#8221; he said, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/31/politics/pentagon-cancels-drag-show-nellis-air-force-base-pride/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>. &#8220;I think those things shouldn&#8217;t be happening.&#8221;

In a <a href="https://gaetz.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/gaetz.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/cmg-may23-drag-show-letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to both Department of Defense officials, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said that the U.S. military had approved six other drag show events occurring on different bases in Montana, Virginia, and overseas at the Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany.
&#8220;I find it completely unacceptable that DoD is using taxpayer dollars to fund DEI programs that are divisive in nature,&#8221; Gaetz wrote. &#8220;DoD resources should be used for mission-essential operations, not diverted toward initiatives that create cultural fissures within our service ranks.&#8221;
Gaetz asked U.S. officials to clarify if any punitive action has or will be taken against individuals who facilitated drag events with taxpayer dollars by June 12.

The U.S. military launched airstrikes against Iranian-backed terrorists in Syria on Thursday night after a U.S. contractor was killed and five U.S. service members and an additional U.S. contractor were injured in an attack by a suicide drone.
U.S. intelligence <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-contractor-killed-service-members-wounded-in-drone-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the attack was carried out by a &#8220;one-way unmanned aerial vehicle&#8221; that &#8220;struck a maintenance facility on a Coalition base near Hasakah in northeast Syria at approximately 1:38 p.m. local time.&#8221;
The Pentagon said that the precision airstrikes were launched to &#8220;limit the risk of escalation and minimize casualties.&#8221;
&#8220;This evening, we responded to an attack on our forces that killed an American contractor and wounded our troops and another American contractor by striking facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,&#8221; U.S. Central Command later added. &#8220;We will always take all necessary measures to defend our people and will always respond at a time and place of our choosing.&#8221;
&#8220;We are postured for scalable options in the face of any additional Iranian attacks,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;The thoughts and prayers of U.S. Central Command are with the Family of our contractor killed and with our wounded servicemembers and contractor.&#8221;
The statement said that U.S. forces remained stationed in Syria &#8220;to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS, which benefits the security and stability of not only Syria, but the entire region.&#8221;

The incident in Syria comes as U.S. and foreign officials have grown increasingly concerned over the state of Iran’s nuclear program. General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers during a Thursday hearing on Capitol Hill that Iran is “several more months” away from producing an “actual nuclear weapon.”
The scenario has alarmed Israeli officials who in recent months have been increasingly outspoken about the threat of a nuclear Iran and Israel’s determination to act and stop such an outcome. Israeli officials have reportedly warned officials in the U.S. and Europe that Israel will strike Iran if it enriches uranium past a 60% threshold. Uranium is weapons-grade after it is enriched up to 90%.

At the same time, Iran has been bolstered by Russia and China. Russia is reportedly considering supplying Iran with S-400 missile systems, an anti-air missile system that Israel fears could protect Iran’s nuclear facilities from an airstrike. China has helped Iran build diplomatic ties in the region, serving as the middleman for a recent agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

General Mark Milley said Wednesday that he was not prepared to consider Russia&#8217;s downing of an American drone to be an act of war. &#8220;Incidents happen,&#8221; he said.
Milley, who has served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff since 2019, gave a briefing at the Pentagon on Wednesday to update the press and the public on <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/russian-fighter-jet-collides-with-u-s-military-reaper-drone-over-black-sea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what had happened</a> and how the Defense Department planned to proceed.

&#8220;As far as an act of war goes, I&#8217;m not gonna — I&#8217;m not gonna go there.

But we will continue to exercise our rights in international airspace.&#8221;
Milley also addressed the possibility of retrieval, noting that the drone had gone down in water that was thousands of feet deep and would thus likely prove difficult to recover.

&#8220;This is probably about four or five thousand feet of water and it probably, don&#8217;t know for certain yet, it will be days before we have actual facts on the impact and what debris is there,&#8221; Milley explained. &#8220;It probably sank to some significant depths. So, any recovery operation from a techno standpoint would be very difficult.&#8221;
Milley went on to say that if it became apparent that recovery was possible — or that it was a good idea – Defense Department leadership would address that in the coming days.
Russian authorities have already expressed an interest in <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/russia-aims-to-recover-downed-u-s-drone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recovering the drone</a>. &#8220;I don’t know if we can recover them or not, but we will certainly have to do that, and we will deal with it,&#8221; Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said on Wednesday. &#8220;I certainly hope for success.&#8221;
The United States military said that one of two Russian planes had clipped the propeller of the drone, after which it went down in international waters. State Department spokesman Ned Price called the incident a &#8220;brazen violation of international law.&#8221;

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> knew about the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese</a> spy balloon sailing over the U.S. earlier than when it became widely known but kept quiet so as to not disrupt Secretary of State <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/antony-blinken" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antony Blinken</a>’s trip to China, according to a Friday report. 
Bloomberg News <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-04/from-china-to-big-sky-the-balloon-that-unnerved-the-white-house?leadSource=uverify%20wall#xj4y7vzkg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that U.S. officials were “well aware” that the balloon had crossed into American airspace on January 28 and that it was over Idaho on Tuesday, but decided to not inform the public to not upend Blinken’s diplomatic trip to China. 
White House officials who spoke with Bloomberg told the outlet that they knew the balloon was over Montana on Wednesday, and that Secretary of Defense <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lloyd-austin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lloyd Austin</a> and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-milley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Milley</a> told President Joe Biden that shooting down the balloon could pose a threat to civilians. 
The report added that the White House wanted to be careful because relations with China could be a big issue in the 2024 elections and that it was “baffled” by China’s claim to not know what was going on with the balloon. 
Bloomberg noted that the Biden administration only decided to inform the public after the Billings Gazette published a picture of the balloon, which “forced Biden’s hand.” 
In the end, Biden’s efforts to conceal information about the balloon to save Blinken’s China trip failed. On Friday, Blinken said his team <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secretary-of-state-blinken-will-postpone-china-trip-over-spy-balloon-incident">concluded</a> “conditions were not conducive” for him to continue with a planned visit to China this weekend.
The secretary also said he conveyed it was an “irresponsible act and that the PRC’s decision to take this action on the eve of my planned visit is detrimental to the substantive discussions we were prepared to have.”
In addition, Blinken said he told his counterpart that the United States “remains committed to diplomatic engagement with China” and that he plans to visit Beijing in the future “when conditions allow.”
The balloon was <a href="https://www.cbs17.com/news/north-carolina-news/watch-chinese-spy-balloon-flies-over-nc-saturday-morning-according-to-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spotted</a> over North Carolina on Saturday morning as it appears to head toward the Atlantic Ocean. The balloon is believed to have sailed over parts of Tennessee last night before heading over Asheville and Charlotte, North Carolina, this morning.

Gen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-milley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Milley</a>, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, traveled to the edge of the ongoing conflict in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a> to meet with President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/volodymyr-zelensky" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Volodymyr Zelensky</a>’s top military official on Tuesday. 
Milley spoke with Gen. Valery Zaluzhny for two hours, a military spokesman <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/01/17/milley-zaluzhny-poland-ukraine-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Washington Post. The meeting between the countries’ top military officers comes after the Biden administration reportedly made a “substantive” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-sending-zelensky-more-offensive-weapons-create-an-iron-fist-to-penetrate-russian-linear-defenses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">change</a> in its aid to Ukraine, sending more offensive weapons to Zelensky, who is seeking to capitalize on Russia’s apparent setbacks in recent months.
“It’s important that two very important military officials look at each other in the eye when they talk about very important topics. It makes a difference,” U.S. military spokesman David Butler said, according to the Post. 
Milley reportedly left a U.S. base in Poland that American troops use to funnel aid to Ukraine and traveled close to the Ukrainian border for the meeting. The officials kept the meeting a secret until it had concluded, citing safety concerns, and no photography was allowed at the meeting. The rendezvous marked the first time Milley and Zaluzhny met in person.
On Monday, Milley <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-politics-0f6a62a112d71e68712e567d1467edf7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">visited</a> the new joint military training program in Germany, where U.S. troops are instructing Ukrainian forces and preparing them for more offensive warfare against Russia. The expanded training of Ukrainian forces began on Sunday, and Milley <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-politics-germany-7ae8c22dfd9379e77f172bd2b3ab5fb7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hopes</a> it will result in 500 Ukrainian soldiers hitting the battlefield in the next five to eight weeks. 
“This is not a run of the mill rotation,” Milley said Monday as he overlooked the training, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-politics-0f6a62a112d71e68712e567d1467edf7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “This is one of those moments in time where if you want to make a difference, this is it.”
The military leaders of the U.S. and Ukraine met as Russia announced that it will increase its military to 1.5 million people and create new structures along its border with Finland. Russia’s move is a response to a “proxy war” the country believes the U.S. and its allies are waging in Ukraine, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-17/russia-to-boost-troops-in-west-with-army-expansion-shoigu-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
Along with expanded training for Ukrainian forces, the Biden administration announced earlier this month that Zelensky’s forces will receive 50 Bradley Fighting Vehicles along with long-range rocket systems. The administration’s announcement came less than one month after Zelensky visited the White House and begged Congress for more aid.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the weapons and vehicles included in the latest aid package will help the Ukrainians shift to warfare in the open farmlands of the Donbas region, the eastern section of Ukraine annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin last September, Bloomberg reported.

Military leaders’ embrace of woke diversity and transgender policies and ideology is corroding the effectiveness of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-military">U.S. military</a>, according to a new report by GOP lawmakers.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, both Republicans, put out a report on the impact of DEI and LGBT initiatives on the U.S. military on Monday. The 18-page <a href="https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/ee1d7a86-6d0c-4f08-bd15-24e5b28e54b7/3756824FA9C21B819BB97AAB16221530.woke-warfighters-report-3.pdf">report</a> takes shots at some of the top leaders in the U.S. military, such as Gen. Mark Milley, and says that poor leadership is distorting the military’s purpose.
“The United States military is the greatest fighting force in the world. It is also one of the most humble and sacrificial the world has ever known,” the report begins. “Unfortunately, President Joe Biden and his administration are weakening America’s warfighters through a sustained assault fueled by woke virtue signaling.”
“Our military’s singular purpose is to ‘provide for the common defense’ of our nation. It cannot be turned into a left-wing social experiment. It cannot be used as a cudgel against America itself. And it cannot be paralyzed by fear of offending the sensibilities of Ivy League faculty lounges or progressive pundits,” the report’s summary says.
The Department of Defense (DOD) stood by its policies in answer to the report.
“Diversity, inclusion, and equality at its core is about leveraging the strengths of all our people, advancing opportunity, addressing potential barriers or discrepancies, and – fundamentally – ensuring people are treated with dignity and respect. We always talk about weapons systems, yet every one of us will agree that our greatest weapons system are our people.  So that’s why our policies to better leverage our people and increase unit cohesion are important here,” a spokesman with the DOD told The Daily Wire in a statement.
The report singles out several top military officials for criticism: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Milley, who is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The report also notes the partisan pasts of two top Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) staffers: Bishop Garrison, senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense on Human Capital and DEI issues, and Kelisa Wing, the DEI head of the Department of Defense Education Activity.
Weeks into President Joe Biden’s term, Austin issued a one-day stand-down order to all service members and civilian employees. The purpose of the stand-down order was to “discuss extremism in the ranks with their personnel.” A follow-up report by the Senate Armed Services committee assessed that, because of the dearth of extremism among U.S. service members, further investment on countering extremism in the military would be an “inappropriate use of taxpayer funds.”
Milley <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/highest-ranking-u-s-military-official-defends-teaching-crt">supports</a> “teaching [Critical Race Theory] at U.S. Service Academies” and testified in front of Congress that he is interested in understanding “white rage,” according to the report.
“The Biden Administration is choosing to focus on and fund the study of racial extremism even when … it is a virtual non-issue in the military,” the report says.
DEI has become a top priority for the Biden administration across departments, not just in the Pentagon. The Department of Homeland Security has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/politics/white-supremacy-dhs-draft-assessment/index.html">identified</a> white supremacy as one of the preeminent threats to the United States. In September, the Department of Energy <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-releases-first-ever-plan-advance-diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility">released</a> its first-ever “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Strategic Plan to underscore the Department’s commitment to creating a workplace that celebrates Americans of all backgrounds.”
The commitment to DEI has bled into the U.S. Special Forces. The United States Special Operations Command’s 2021 Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan states that “diversity and inclusion are operational imperatives.”
“The only goal of our Special Forces should be effectiveness. Every other consideration must be subordinate to and in service of that end,” the report says. “[F]orcing our military to engage in DEI trainings encourages supporting and advancing people on criteria other than competence and ability to carry out a mission.”
According to Rubio and Roy, the military has lowered its standards for health and fitness to allow transgender people and those diagnosed with gender dysphoria into the ranks of the military. The process began under former President Barack Obama, was reversed under former President Donald Trump, and reinstated under Biden.
“People cannot even enlist with Invisalign or braces until they are removed. And yet, today’s woke military is now proudly promoting and celebrating sex reassignment procedures, which can have months-long recovery periods, with complete recovery taking &#8216;up to one year&#8217; for some procedures,” the report says.
The highest levels of the U.S. military lack accountability for mistakes, the report says. One glaring example of this is the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, in which 13 U.S. service members were killed and hundreds of Afghans in a terror attack on Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. A retaliatory strike against a target believed to be a terrorist accidently killed 10 civilians, including seven children.
“The only service member who received a reprimand from the Afghanistan debacle was a lieutenant colonel who criticized the way the withdrawal was executed. What this officer did was concerning. Despite a gag order, while in uniform he used government property to harshly criticize superiors while there were still boots on the ground in Kabul. This is certainly improper behavior,” the report states.
“Nevertheless, the hypocrisy is glaring. It is outrageous that the woke Biden Administration held him to account while leaders whose decisions resulted in the deaths of service members and billions of dollars’ worth of equipment falling into enemies’ hands went unpunished,” it concludes.
