--> Incredibly misleading and inaccurate title. <--
The Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff did NOT say that he supported CRT. He said that he felt it is important to be knowledgable of and understand the side proposing CRT. (Being knowledgable of something and supporting something are two very different things). He goes onto say that just because he read Carl Marx, Lenin, Tso, etc. it doesn't make him a communist - it rather makes him more knowledgable. He believes commissioned officers and leaders should be aware and knowledgable about these topics so they can better lead - NOT that they should agree or implement the ideas or philosophies in those texts. Don't believe every headline you read.
The full context of what SecDef and the General said can be heard using this link.

Marx, Lenin Tso all real things to consider. On the flip side CRT is smoke and mirrors, an illusion.

And he's absolutely right. Its important to examine issues from multiple angles.
It's so extraordinarily condescending that people seem to think that servicemembers are such idiots that if they're exposed to CRT that they'll be brainwashed.
If you truly respect and support the military, then respect them enough to trust their ability to think critically about issues.

Agreed. I am quite confident reading the communist manifesto would not transform our troops into communists - just as I am sure reading CRT would not transform them in any way. All reading does is expose someone to different ideas. As someone in college right now, I've been exposed to very bias literature and articles and had to write papers in those articles. I am no more a "liberal" than I was before. I do however, have a better understand of the rhetoric used in liberal writing and how they think.
