Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Fischbach (MN-07) joined over 80 of her colleagues in a bicameral letter to U.S. Army Secretary, Christine Wormuth, demanding answers and transparency regarding social media reports that anti-terrorism training conducted at Fort Liberty labels pro-life organizations as "terrorists."
The letter reads, "Smearing Pro-Life Americans is despicable and emblematic of the ongoing politicization of the military under the Biden-Harris administration."
"The American public expects the Department of Defense and its personnel to defend the homeland from actual terrorists, not Americans who seek protections for children in the womb. Labeling Pro-Life organizations as threats challenges servicemembers’ moral obligation to defend and protect even the smallest among us," the lawmakers continued. "It is no wonder that the Army is struggling to recruit young men and women to join its ranks when it appears the service attacks their values and promotes a woke agenda rather than improving readiness and lethality."
"While Ft. Liberty’s statement asserts that the slides “do not reflect the views of the ...the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense”, the American people are rightfully concerned that training of this kind is being disseminated in the first place and possibly at other military installations. The American people deserve to be assured that these slides truly do not reflect the Army’s views, that a full investigation will be conducted, and that the offending employee will be properly held accountable," the lawmakers concluded.
