Former President Donald Trump criticized the “woke” generals in the United States military on Saturday at a rally in Alabama, contrasting them to World War II Gen. George Patton.
Prior to his rally, the former president played a clip of a six-minute speech delivered by actor George C. Scott from the movie Patton.
“We’re getting tired of the woke generals that we have right?” he asked, pointing to the failure of President Joe Biden and the U.S. military to properly withdraw from Afghanistan.
The president also criticized Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, recalling when he walked with him to St. John’s Church through Lafayette Square to defy leftist protesters and then apologized to the establishment media for doing so.
