Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), in a tweet Friday, fired back at Democrats and “woke media” claiming he was attacking the United States military when he criticized the Army’s latest recruitment campaign.
“I’m enjoying lefty blue checkmarks losing their minds over this tweet, dishonestly claiming that I’m ‘attacking the military.’ Uh, no. We have the greatest military on earth, but Dem politicians & woke media are trying to turn them into pansies,” he tweeted.
He added, “The new Dem videos are terrible,” in reference to the recruitment campaign. The campaign consists of five anime videos highlighting soldiers who are either female, minorities, or both, and conspicuously does not include a white male.
The Army recruitment video that has received the most attention features a young white female soldier who talks about growing up with two lesbian mothers and participating in pro-LGBT rallies.
Cruz first weighed in on the video Thursday evening after it was featured in a tweet that compared it to a Russian recruitment video. The Russian recruitment video shows young men conducting tough physical and weapons training.
Cruz tweeted: “Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea….”
After Cruz’s tweet, progressives attacked him and suggested he was criticizing the U.S. military or praising the Russian military.

Holy crap.
Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea.... https://t.co/8aVFMW98NM— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 20, 2021

It will always be that way. Even Truman integrated the units. It was for the better but this is where they can’t separate themselves from the whack jobs.
Ted, when you are getting flak you know that you are over the target.
Dems not only want to neuter our military, they want to turn off masculine men from wanting to join.
Cruz has many faults. But I believe he’s right on this.
“It will always be that way.”
The military will always have Army recruitment videos that features a young white female soldier who talks about growing up with two lesbian mothers and participating in pro-LGBT rallies?
I don’t follow your comment.
This is not new. They have been trying to destroy the military, the police, and fire departments since the 1990s. It is just that everything is now being acclerated, since the stolen presidential election. They are all in and moving rapidly. They don’t care that we know anymore because they know we can’t stop them.
In all likelihood the girl that grows up with two mommies will hate the military. These recruitment videos will fail, and when enlistment goes down they’ll have to rely on straight Christians again to fill their ranks.
I would’ve thought Janet Reno to have been the “man” in that video!
And in some cases they are succeeding (e.g., the U.S. Navy).
I cracked up when Cruz mentioned ‘a lesbian on a unicycle’.
I would not encourage anyone who is not woke to join the military, whites are already labeled as “extremists. It is not going to get better anytime soon with eco-okists in charge. They hate you, it is pretty simple.
This Vietnam era Vet, grandson of two veterans (WWI and Spanish American Wars), Son and nephew of veterans (WWII) brother of veterans (Cold War), Dad of two Iraq War Vets, and uncle of two Afghan war vets stands proudly with Senator Cruz on his observations and assertions.
Commie ‘pansies’....
