On Tuesday, according to his campaign, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will formally unveil his military policy, in South Carolina, promising to "rip" wokeness out of the armed forces and put "mission first" if elected president. The campaign for DeSantis, released a video Monday, previewing the GOP presidential candidate's policy, in which he pledges to remove any "social agenda" from the U.S. military.
DeSantis, a former Navy officer, who served in the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) in Iraq, said in the video-
"As somebody that really appreciated wearing the uniform, really appreciated serving alongside patriots, being a part of a mission greater than yourself," …"You look at today’s military, it’s going woke," … "You are pursuing a social agenda in the military rather than having your eye on the ball."

In the video, DeSantis says that on his first day in the White House, he’ll "rip it all out of the military, all the Obama-Biden nonsense is gone, and we’re restoring it to its glory." The governor will further lay out his plans in South Carolina on Tuesday.
Known for honoring the armed services, in his home State of Florida, last June, DeSantis signed a handful of bills to support Florida's military community. These included, Senate Bill 430, which assists in the educational transition of children of active-duty military families, and Senate Bill 514, which allows state agencies to substitute work and military experience for postsecondary education requirements.
With a reputation for standing actively behind what he says, DeSantis is sure to have some interesting ideas for how to change things for the betterment of the U.S. Military. Stay tuned America.
