@TuckerCarlson is right! The U.S. Military does NOT exist to serve as a social experiment for the far left. It exists to DEFEND US from our enemies, not to be used as a political weapon for enemies of the Biden Administration.

Tucker has a right to his opinion without Active Duty Military leaders attacking him from official DoD accounts.

Unprofessional!

Official military accounts like @PentagonPresSec, @iimigofficial,@USMCSgtMaj,@PatDonahoeArmy,@US_SpaceComCSEL, @PaulFunk2, @16thSMA need to stop their politics immediately.

Something needs to be done about this.

Plenty of people speaking out about this. Even if this slows down military expressing their social justice goals doesn’t mean they’ve stopped doing it. I hope none of the military that are serving for the right reason don’t suffer bad consequences for not going along with this insanity.

A Marine Corps Twitter account over the weekend lashed out at a civilian that suggested the service focus on China and not Tucker Carlson, then later apologized for the tweet after it received widespread scrutiny.

The move came after Carlson delivered a monologue last week commenting that China was focusing on making its young men more masculine, while President Joe Biden was focusing on reforms to make the military more accommodating to women, such as maternity flight suits.

After a Twitter user by the name of “Scott Malkinson” tweeted: “Please focus on China and not Tucker,” the Marine Corps account responded: “Come back when you’ve served and been pregnant.”

The tweets received widespread public condemnation for their suggestions that a media figure or civilian could not criticize or comment on military affairs without being attacked or ridiculed by the military — an undermining of the American principle of civilian rule over the military.

The II MEF IG account quickly sent a series of apologies for its tweets.
