Backlash After Official Marine Corps Twitter Account Blasts Tucker Carlson
breitbart ^ | 03/14/2021 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 03/14/2021 2:14:44 PM PDT by DFG

Following outrage from progressives in the military towards Fox News host Tucker Carlson for contrasting China’s push for a “more masculine” military against the U.S. military’s focus on inclusivity for women, the official Marine Corps Twitter account joined in the criticism, sharing an image of a female soldier carrying another soldier with hashtags aimed at Tucker Carlson and Fox News.

On Tuesday evening, Carlson noted how in January the Chinese Ministry of Education released a proposal to cultivate students’ masculinity amid a Chinese military buildup, then played a March 8 clip of President Joe Biden introducing two female generals he approved for promotion while noting how much the military is working to accommodate women, including providing specially-designed body armor for females, flight suits for pregnant women, and updating hairstyle requirements.

I thought the military was too busy with sex change operations for the freaks in rank to worry about Tucker’s opinion.

Looks like Tucker has stepped on some very sensitive trans toes. They will be responding more viciously in the future as their poor little feelings are hurt.

“Conduct Unbecoming an Officer”, or has that phrase lost all presumption of meaning, like the Hippocratic Oath for all doctors?

Everything is changing.

If we on the right think that cops and the military would have our back when the SHTF, well, those days are gone.

Prepare and behave accordingly.

Last I heard, pregnant women were non deployable until after they delivered and recovered so they wouldn’t be in combat.

Fruits who have sex changes are out for at least two months in the best case scenario.

Beware those who say the military would not fire on American civilians. They will follow orders.

Why has the Left, certainly since Obama, constantly promoted BLM riots and false narratives of racist/violent cops? Because they need to continuously constrict and control the independence of local police.

With the military, they can purge and replace generals, but with many thousands of local and county cops and sheriffs, they need a much broader narrative.

We don’t have 5-stars.

Only during extraordinary times and efforts.
https://www.militaryfactory.com/5-star-generals.asp

More info:
https://www.militaryfactory.com/5-star-generals.asp

“On December 14, 1944, Congress passed Public Law 482, authorizing the temporary establishment of a five-star rank: General of the Army and, for the U.S. Navy, Fleet Admiral. This aligned the United States’ military ranks with those of its World War II allies, thus eliminating the problem of U.S. officers commanding Allied officers of technically higher rank. In December 1944, the Army promoted four general officers to General of the Army: Generals George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Henry H. “Hap” Arnold. The Navy, meanwhile, promoted three admirals to Fleet Admiral — Admirals William D. Leahy, Ernest J. King and Chester Nimitz — and a fourth, Admiral William F. Halsey, in December 1945. After the establishment of the Air Force as a separate service branch in 1947, General Arnold also became General of the Air Force. In September 1950, Omar N. Bradley became the fifth Army general to be promoted to five-star rank.

The five-star rank still exists, although no U.S. officers have held it since the death of General Bradley in 1981. The president may promote a general or admiral to five-star rank at any time, with Senate approval. However, U.S. military policy has been to award five-star rank only when the rank of an American commander must be equal to or higher than that of officers from other nations under his or her control (as was the case in World War II).”

Cheers, but you can bet the next 5-star we have WILL be transgender.

The politicization of the Military ought to scare the crap out of everyone that loves freedom.

After the new head is calling to rid the military of possible domestic terrorists aka Trump supporters aka conservatives those that are left will probably do exactly that.

I was just watching some videos on the military purge in the Soviet Union during the buildup to WW2. While experts argue whether the purges deprived the forces of experienced officers or old guard who couldn’t fight modern wars, the experts mostly agree that political correctness definitely had a major factor in the early losses by the USSR Operation Barbarossa onward. The political advisors (of which one was Brezhnev) had little or no military experience but were put on a par with the military commanders at all levels of the armed forces. Orders had to be signed off by both leaders. Only when they managed to push out the political officers did they start to win again. Let’s hope political correctness doesn’t get our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen killed.
