The STARRS President also indicated that the organization “Joins Elaine Donnelly, President of the Center for Military Readiness, in encouraging the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) to seek assurances from General Charles Q. "CQ" Brown in tomorrow's July 11 hearing, in terms of his understanding of the dangers of CRT/DEI and his commitment to advancing our military readiness based on merit.
