Hey, sorry you didn’t get as much snow as Denver. The left climate equality justice warriors should get on this.

Under Biden, the military is launching political attacks to intimidate Tucker Carlson & other civilians who criticize their policy decisions.

Officials in uniform are being used for the campaign.

I’ve demanded a meeting with the Commandant of the USMC to put a stop to it.

Letter at link...

Cruz explained in the letter how military policy prohibits military members from engaging in political activities or partisan actions in their official capacity. Cruz said he was “deeply troubled” that the military’s obligation to avoid involvement in political controversy was being undermined “for the sake of leftwing ideology and political expediency.”

Cruz explained that no matter what one thinks on the subject of identity politics or the particular questions, the military should never be involving itself in political controversy or appearing to take a side. Cruz was also troubled that military members were suggesting that Americans couldn’t criticize the military unless they had served.

“This spectacle risks politicizing the military after several centuries of efforts to keep military officials out of domestic affairs, undermining civil-military relations by having the military take a side in a contentious cultural dispute, and the perception that military leaders are happily weaponizing the institution against political critics of the sitting administration. This kind of behavior, while perhaps typical in a military-controlled Third World country, is completely unacceptable in the United States of America.”

Funny, I was thinking the very same thing and there you go posting it.

Just where is our equal share of snow?

As far as the military getting into politics, Obummer started it and now they are emboldened to talk out.

And they are trying to get rid of the rank and file that doesn't buy into their "progressive" agenda.

How good will a military be composed only of social justice warriors, hmmmmm?
