By culture wars they of course mean massive restrictions on civil rights and crackdowns on personal freedoms

Is this money to defend against the culture wars???

Wonder if they actually wrote “woke” in an amendment to the bill as they have not been able to define it.

Not only does the NDAA contain COLAs for Military pay, it also contains the COLA for every civil servant on the GS Pay System, an additional 1.9m-2m people on top of the ~1.1m active duty servicemembers. So Republicans are screwing with nearly 3 million peoples pay (directly) because they throw hissy fits whenever they don’t get their way.

ideological differences does not a “culture war” make. you’d think someone with 29 years of journalism experience would be better at writing articles.
