"the military is demonizing its support base with training calling whites inherently evil" and "a middle manager had to read some books and one of them had a line that hurt his feelings" are substantially different.

White Fragility, which was required reading per that whistleblower, contains statements such as

Anti-blackness is foundational to our very identities… Whiteness has always been predicated on blackness [..] a positive white identity is an impossible goal. [..] strive to be less white.

I'm sure if this was any other race, you would likewise dismiss concerns as merely "hurt feelings". In fact, I encourage you to do so. Publicly and non-anonymously. Assuming you live in America, its pervasive white supremacy will support you, and you will suffer no adverse consequences.

But, like I said, you described a mountain, but your sources indicate a spec of sand.
