Jason Beardsley served his country in the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army Special Forces before taking the helm as executive director of the Association of the United States Navy. Today, he\u2019s speaking out to urge military leaders to focus on their primary mission of defending America\u2014not advancing the left\u2019s woke agenda.\nBeardsley recently wrote a commentary for The Daily Signal about the challenges of readiness and morale in the U.S. Navy. \u201cWokeness is well on its way to poisoning our military, even as it claims the military is moving toward utopia,\u201d Beardsley says.\nHe tells The Daily Signal that his own military experience taught him radical ideas like critical race theory have no place in our armed forces.\n\u201cIn a firefight,\u201d Beardsley says, \u201cthe one question that never occurred to me was, \u2018Do I have enough black guys on the guns down behind me?\u2019 Or, \u2018Do I have enough Puerto Ricans on this side?\u2019 Nobody cares. We want talented service members who honor the flag and respect the heritage of this country.\u201d\nFollowing his military service, Beardsley co-founded and was CEO of a patriotic clothing company called The Underground Movement. He tells The Daily Signal about his love of America and the work he\u2019s doing at the Association of the United States Navy.
