“Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona, has repeatedly said the U.S. should clean house on the senior ranks of the military, pushing the claim that all the generals and admirals are ‘woke’ and ‘left-wing’ losers who’ve never won a war,” Vice News reports.
Said Masters, on leaked audio: “Your entire general class, they’re left-wing politicians at this point. It’s very hard to become a general without being some kind of left-of-center politician.”
He added: “I would love to see all the generals get fired. You take the most conservative colonels, you promote them to general. Not because the ideology is important, but because the conservative colonels will be able to leave the ideology aside. They just care about an effective fighting force.”
