Correct. “Pussy” in this context isn’t disparaging. It means “weak of spirit” - short for pusillanimous. Nothing to do with “lady parts” .

I read it. Didn’t see anything wrong with it.
People need to lighten the eff up.

Is this is the person that said something along the lines of “I don’t lose sleep but anything in night I make other people lose sleep”?

Did these juveniles ever walk through a newsroom even 5 years ago?
Screaming, hollering and f-bombs everywhere, not much different than 70 years ago.
And this is from a group of lefties.
Even Fox News wasn’t as bad as the alt-gay newsrooms in NYC.

I know he was Army, while Mattis was talking to the Navy, but this sounds like the quip for Bill Mauldin (author of the famous WW II cartoons
Willie and Joe in Stars and Stripes) :
"I build a shoe. If someone wants to put it on and loudly announce that it fits, that's their business."

Yup,at NBC News it's only the females who are after pu$$y...that's why they deem the word to be disparaging.

If they are so upset that a General used the term, they would have the vapours and required a fainting couch to hear thirty seconds of any random bit of any random Drill Sergeant’s casual conversation on any random day before the pussy politicians and the pussy college professors turned 90% of our entire population into snowflake pussy cuckolds.
