Retired Marine lieutenant general says critical race theory undermines our military s unity
A former Joint Staff director of operations believes current Pentagon officials are not adequately prepared for a military conflict, in part due to cultural factors such as critical race theory.
Retired Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Greg Newbold, in an op-ed for Task & Purpose this week, accused our most senior politicians and military leaders of having a form of dementia when it comes to warfare and said the subsequent result is a dangerous and potentially catastrophic malady.
Newbold, who retired in October 2002 over his opposition to the United States s invasion of Iraq, argued that the military s two main purposes are to deter our enemies, and if that fails, to defeat them in combat, and he also alleged that the military cannot be a mirror image of the society it serves.
