Let me share with you something I have learned in the past few days. What follows is a mixture of my own opinion, informed by hearing from someone very much in a position to provided informed background.
That woke culture has overtaken the military at the highest levels should not surprise us. The military does not stand separate from the rest of Western culture. The Tucker Carlson incident highlights what rubes and dupes cultural conservatives have been for quite some time. We on the cultural right have been living under the illusion that the US military is a conservative institution, and that only culturally conservative Americans are drawn to serve in it.
Part of our being duped is our willingness to trust the national security wing of the GOP coalition. We assumed wrongly that because they identified as conservatives, that they were conservatives in all things.
