The Woke Military: A Question of Paternity. Here's Bruce T. Smith's lede on Real Clear Defense: "The woke military is the bastard child of a thousand fathers. Several of those 'fathers' were the ones wearing JAG badges." The author continues:
The simple truth is this: many military Judge Advocates, “JAGs,” whose clients were their respective service branches, either endorsed or failed to prevent the sixteen-year woke assault on the armed services. That’s likely why SecDef [Pete] Hegseth fired the Army and Air Force Judge Advocates General in February.
Whether the failures were those of just a few woke idealogues, scaredy-cat careerists, or members of a wider-spread social justice movement, the responsibility to prevent the politicization of the military rested with the lawyers whose sworn duty it was to counsel adherence to the law.
In this essay, it is not my intention to indict the majority of hardworking, patriotic military lawyers who follow the law every day. Rather, my aim, here, is to scrutinize a small but influential minority of Judge Advocates who put ideology and politics above both the law and their duties to their respective armed services. Whether they acted actively or passively, alone or in small groups, a cadre of woke JAGs throughout the DoD may very well have been the single greatest facilitators of left-driven ideological mischief in the military.
