America's military is underprepared for the wars ahead because woke officers refocused it on Marxist priorities, from Critical Race Theory to DEI and worse. Thanks to President Trump and War Sec. Pete Hegseth, that emphasis is back on warfighting—and Restoration of America is helping them finish the job.

No one knows that better than former FBI special agen...
