U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) has revealed a 27-page Air Force guidebook that he claims demonstrates the influence of woke ideology within the military. The document, produced by the 552nd Air Control Wing in Oklahoma, addresses "microaggressions" and references a book by Angela Davis.
The guidebook describes various terms and phrases as problematic. It labels the term “opposite sex” as “transphobic” and suggests that saying “toughen up” implies inadequacy. Additionally, it advises against stating one does not see color, calling it an “erasure of black, indigenous, and other people of color.” The term “savage” is also discouraged due to its historical connotations related to violence against Indigenous peoples. Furthermore, the guidebook recommends against displaying posters that advocate standing for the flag.
Congressman Gaetz criticized these guidelines: "Under Kamala Harris, the Air Force tells people ‘that’s savage’ is a microaggression. I’m sorry, but I want a savage military to protect us from China. I will be calling on the Air Force to make clear if they agree with this radical document.”
The full text of the guidebook can be accessed through Congressman Gaetz's office. Fox News has also provided exclusive coverage of this issue.
