Conservatives have singled out a host of left-wing “woke” policies that they say have taken hold in the military under President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Now, handed some real leverage in the ongoing 2024 spending negotiations on Capitol Hill, it’s time for congressional Republicans to decide which of those policies to aggressively target and which ones they can grit their teeth and live with.
The NDAA, considered one of the few annual must-pass measures lawmakers consider, has become a policy battlefield for both parties, with measures that stand little chance of passing partisan muster on their own folded into a giant spending and policy package that even presidents are reluctant to veto.
Gen. Spoehr said it would be a mistake for Republicans to abandon their fight against woke military policies right now in the hopes that their party will recapture the Senate and White House in the 2024 elections. Republicans have cast the bill as an effort to redirect the Defense Department back toward its underlying goals — such as preparing for a potential clash with communist China — and away from a host of left-leaning initiatives that have taken hold in recent years.
On the surface, it would appear Democrats would be willing to fight tooth and nail to maintain that policy given how deeply important the issue is to the party’s base. Their early stance is that the GOP-proposed bills are unacceptable.
