A Tennessee Air National Guard colonel was demoted and promptly retired after a video that shows him leading a re-enlistment ceremony where one member recites her oath using a dinosaur puppet garnered millions of views online.

In the video, which was posted Saturday to an unofficial Air Force Facebook group, an unidentified colonel can be seen leading the re-enlistment ceremony for Master Sgt. Robin Brown, who delivers her oath while wearing a dinosaur puppet on her hand and has the puppet mouth the words as she reads them aloud.

According to a statement from Army Maj. Gen. Terry Haston, posted to the Tennessee National Guard official Facebook page, the colonel administering the oath immediately retired after being demoted.

Why was the guy who took the video reprimanded? Or is the Air Force classifying re-enlistment ceremonies of trans people as “ no-forn “ or above?? She was thought she was a puppet, so shes a trans-character..

The puppeteer will be the RAT candidate for prez someday. Her oath of office will be via a sock puppet.

Bet this doesn’t happen in the Chinese military. Today’s military is coasting on the wave of invincibility that was hard won for them in past decades. Can anyone imagine this in the days of the 8th Air Force? In the cold war era of LeMay? In the USAF of the late cold war?

Empires do not get away with such frivolity forever.

When you turn the military into an experiment in social engineering this is what you end up with.

Airman Steve can put on a pair of panties and demand that everyone call him Charlene, but they throw a rod over this?

Resigned? Funny, I didn’t think there were any limits on the degradation of our military.

Did her hand just self-identify as a dinosaur? What’s wrong with that?

If you refer to something as a “dinosaur,” what do you mean?

If you pretend to take your oath through a “dinosaur,” what do you mean?

Seems pretty clear to me. Neither the colonel nor the master sergeant belong in military service to the country they view as a dinosaur, they’re leftist subversives.
