'Our top generals have turned into woke corporate bozos, and our troops deserve better,” Republican Blake Masters wrote last year.
Masters, who received former President Donald Trump’s endorsement in June and won the Republican nomination in August, made similar comments on other platforms late last year and early this year. He tweeted last year a few times about “wokeness in the military," but hasn’t mentioned the military much on the platform recently. Masters has not served in the military.
“We’ve served, Senator Kelly has served and he wants to continue to serve,” veteran Martin Sepulveda said at the event. “The stuff I’ve heard from this opponent, as a veteran, is appalling. Fire the generals? A guy who’s not served one minute in uniform says fire the generals? … veterans don’t need that; the country doesn’t need that.”
"Our military, in some sense it’s the strongest, but it's also kind of there’s rot in there with the critical race theory and like the general corps, I think is woefully inadequate, and frankly, I think they’re ruining the military,” Masters said in January on entrepreneur Noah Kagan’s“We're on track to be in a position where by 2030 we would lose a war with China.
“First, you’ve got to get rid of the, sort of, left-wing rot. And then it’s going to be a little bit longer of a project to rebuild,” he said in that same November interview. Fifty-one percent of respondents said the U.S. is No. 1 in the world militarily, and 47% said it’s one of several leading military powers. At a Wednesday veterans meeting in Chandler organized by the Kelly campaign, about a dozen veterans discussed their top issues, ranging from health care to preventing sexual assault in the military, and explained why they’re backing Kelly.
“Two carrier-based combat pilots, two Navy captains, two guys who really care a lot about the veterans community, about national security policy. And issues like that create an opportunity to put a coalition like this together, where partisanship is secondary and it is the greater objective that binds us,” Hickman said.
