Country music star Craig Morgan had decided to step away from the military after more than 17 years of service, including nearly a decade on active duty.
WASHINGTON —
One year ago, after Morgan performed at a military fundraiser, he had told Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., that leaving the military early was his “biggest regret.” Morgan, who grew up poor, said the military opened doors for him: “If you join the military, you’re going to be afforded opportunities and situations for you to enhance and grow your life that you can’t get in the civilian populace.”
Wormuth rebuked those claims in June, telling MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”: “We are a ready Army, not a ‘woke’ Army.” She also told reporters that the “drip, drip, drip of criticism about a woke military is having some counterproductive effects on recruiting.
The Tennessee native — who tragically lost his son, Jerry, in a tubing accident in 2016 — said those who refuse to join the military due to political disagreements need to “put all of that aside.”“I might not agree with everything this administration does, but I still go do my job and be all I can be so that I can be all I can be for everyone else,” he said.
