Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during an appearance on FNC\u2019s \u201cThe Ingraham Angle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawley\u2019s remarks about the country\u2019s military preparedness come as&nbsp;the U.K. Royal Marines made quick work of U.S. troops during a training exercise.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWell, they are probably wondering why it is the people like General Milley and Secretary Austin spend so much time recommending books on white rage, on Critical Race Theory and are not more focused on warfighting,\u201d he said. \u201cHere\u2019s my view, Laura. We\u2019ve got the best soldiers, airmen, marines in the entire world. Our soldiers are amazing warfighters. Let them fight. Train the tight. Let them do what they do best and stop using the military as a giant social experiment, which is what the left seems to want.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The Missouri Republican warned the threat from China was not being taken seriously as the military brass were focused on \u201cleft-wing pursuits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to say that General Milley has been pretty darn casual about the threat from China,\u201d Hawley continued. \u201cI asked him a very similar question before the Armed Services Committee about China\u2019s intentions towards Taiwan, and he similarly was pretty dismissive and said I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s really going to be a problem. He said I don\u2019t really know \u2014 he cast doubt on the Chinese ability to even take Taiwan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you that there\u2019s a very serious danger that China will invade Taiwan, and we\u2019ve been warned by the commanders in the region, our commanders in the region, that this could come sooner than we had previously expected,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe need to get ready to defend right now, and what we really need to do, Laura, is we need to get the Taiwanese ready to defend themselves. They need to have the ability to fight off China, to defend themselves, and we need to be ready to do it. And again, this ought to be the priority, rather than assigning our troops to read stuff on Critical Race Theory and white rage and white supremacy and all of these other left-wing pursuits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) warns the U.S. military\u2019s focus is misappropriated under Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.
