Having failed to get anywhere with the Taliban, the Pentagon is now going after Tucker Carlson. Who ought, in theory, to be an easier target.
It began last week when Tucker noted that Joe Biden had emerged from his basement for "International Women's Day" and held a White House event touting the US military's recent achievements on that particular front - including such brilliant innovations as better maternity flight suits for pregnant pilots. (Do the growing numbers of pregnant males get paternity suits - or is that still just a courthouse thing?)
Given that the brass no longer even try to win wars (our present negotiating position with the Taliban has dwindled down to: "Whatever you want - as long as we're allowed to stay running around this barren sod for another decade or two"), one might suppose it's relatively unimportant (except to the grim toll of wounded and dead, and their grieving families) whether the twenty-first century's endless unwon wars are lost by male, female or transgender soldiery.
On the other hand, in what's supposed to be an all-volunteer military, I don't recall the unborn kid raising his hand to sign on to be up there in the cockpit. Accepting that it's obviously far better for us to lose two-decade wars as diversely as possible, it still seems a very weird thing to be boasting about - even for a military that spent much of the twenty-first century filling every soldier's kitbag with a preferred guide to Afghanistan that proved to be an utterly fraudulent book of total bollocks with a 501(c)3 racket attached.

From the very first sentence I could tell this piece of brilliance quotes from Mark Steyn.
Commander 1st Combat Diaper Station Brigade used to be a man. Thanks to the U.S. Army and the servile “American” People, he/she has successfully transitioned.
Hooah....
How important is the military to the US population?
Is it as important as:
Money
Sports
Drugs
Entertainment
Gambling
Looks
Appearance of wealth
Vacations
Feeling good
What a delightful read.
The military reflects the country.
I know he’s not universally liked by Freepers but this guy can write!
I think it’s noble to want freedom throughout the world.
It is also noble to want everyone in the world to have a life like our middle class.
It is also foolish to think that either of these is possible in this world.
The military can do many things, but it can’t make the whole world free and wealthy.
I lost my best friend in Iraq, and I took a lot of pride over the voting and democracy that was emerging there.
What else do you do when you want to try to understand a loss like that?
Then Obama practically turned the country back over to ISIS, and the situation in Afganistan bogged down.
Endless wars. I suppose I’d always been for a strong America, but Trump’s “bring them home” made more and more sense to me.
Now were back to endless wars to support the hawks and defense contractors and send big kickbacks to the corrupt politicians.
You’d think the peaceniks would object, but they are just brainwashed to support the Democrats and hate Republicans no matter what they do.

Neither of them are a joke.
