Matt Gaetz and defense secretary argue over US military capability and 'wokeism'

Note that Gaetz wants to promote the story, so confident that it's beneficial to him that he tweeted CNN's report, not say, Fox:

"You totally blew those calls and maybe we would be better at them if the National Defense University actually worked a little more on strategy and a little less on wokeism," Gaetz said.https://t.co/aSbtYZ6Tba

meanwhile, Biden & military chiefs, including Milley, disagree about something else:

The Biden admin wants to scrap development of a nuclear cruise missile. The nation’s top military officer doesn't agree. https://t.co/tRp3XGy7Aa

how does this synch? I am too unknowledgable to understand -

⚡️US, UK, Australia to develop hypersonic missiles following Russian advances.

AUKUS security alliance members said they would expand an agreement reached last year “in response to Russia’s unprovoked, unjustified and unlawful invasion of Ukraine.”
