Because the book isn't just how the military went woke.

There's plenty of those examples, and we feature them prominently on Fox, and you've seen them, and just the nonsense.

The deeper question is, how did the military allow itself to go woke?

How did our general class,

How did our military academies, how did military leaders who are suspected to live by an ethos and a code, who they're in the job of meritocracy and lethality, of excellence, of no excuses,

of equality and unity, not equity and diversity is ours.

The dumbest phrase on planet earth in the military is our diversity is our strength.

It's, it's,

Our unity is what unites us.

Our unity of effort, our ability to say, yes, we're different, but we come together as a team to accomplish a mission.

So I spent the better part of a year and a half talking to vets.

And not just vets, but connecting through a network of a lot of guys I know.

I host my show on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in New York.

So I've got Saturday afternoon wide open.

And I spent, for months, my Saturdays just on the phone, off the record, anonymously with guys in service.

So...

Senior enlisted, junior enlisted, junior officers, senior officers, all branches, MOSs, eras, but mostly guys in right now, generals, privates.

And all the same themes came out.

You know, standard dropping, the woke stuff is everywhere.

I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
