Restoration News has announced the launch of RestoretheMilitary.com, a platform aimed at highlighting senior Army generals accused of promoting identity-based ideologies over a merit-based, warrior-focused military.
According to Federal Newswire, Restoration News introduced the website to bring attention to senior Army officers believed to be advancing political and identity-based agendas. The site claims these practices undermine Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s goal of maintaining a meritocratic military. Supporters argue that public scrutiny is necessary to restore confidence in military leadership and reinforce readiness standards.
Federal Newswire reports that RestoretheMilitary.com has profiled thirteen Army generals described as proponents of "woke" or identity-driven policies. The platform documents each general’s social media activity, policy positions, and public statements as evidence of ideological bias. It notes that three of these generals have left their posts through resignation or termination in 2025. The site also indicates ongoing updates will track remaining officers and any further disciplinary actions within the Department of Defense (DoD).
The DoD's updated social media policy, published in February 2025, instructs all military personnel to mark personal accounts with disclaimers and prohibits using official titles or insignia suggesting government endorsement. Restoration News points out several highlighted officers failed to include such disclaimers while expressing political views publicly, potentially violating these standards. The DoD policy emphasizes professionalism and protecting institutional trust within the armed forces.
According to the official Restoration News website, the organization operates under the Foundation for the Restoration of America, focusing on exposing ideological influence and promoting traditional merit-based standards in major U.S. institutions. RestoretheMilitary.com is one of its flagship projects aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in military leadership. The site describes its mission as restoring trust in the U.S. military through investigative reporting and advocacy.
