GOP hopeful sends debate off the rails when he says military needs ‘alpha’ recruits who will ‘eat their own guts’
MSN.com ^ | October 3, 2024 | Joe Sommerlad (The Independent)

ADonald Trump-endorsed Senate candidate left debate moderators in shock on Wednesday when he declared that the US military needs to recruit “alpha” men and women into its ranks prepared to tear out and devour their own intestines – and not drag queens.

Hung Cao, a retired US Navy captain, went head-to-head against veteran Democrat Tim Kaine in a debate on Wednesday as they spar over the US senate seat in Virginia.

During the showdown, Cao was asked about the military’s struggles to find sufficient numbers of new recruits and his own past comments blaming diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies for the shortfall.

“They kicked out tens of thousands of military people that refused to take a Covid vaccine,” Cao answered.

“So if you’re a military person or a young person wanting to go in the military, would you trust the military or government that would turn your back on them just for an experimental vaccine?”

But from that comparatively normal starting point, he devolved: “When you’re using a, you know, drag queen to recruit for the Navy, that’s not the people we want.

“What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat them and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are gonna win wars.”

Cao’s response drew applause from sections of the audience before the moderators shut him down and invited Kaine to respond.

The two-term Democratic incumbent, best known as Hillary Clinton’s running mate during the 2016 presidential campaign, answered: “I didn’t understand my opponent’s argument. He went all around the block and I’m not really sure what his point was about DEI.

We sure don’t need Tampon Tim who cuts and runs as soon as it is getting difficult.

I see nothing wrong with the statement. It’s warrior talk not woke talk.

If Hung Cao can pull off an extremely unlikely victory from way behind, the turnaround will be dated from the time he uttered this remark.

This Guy, huge supporter of the U.S. military generally, persuaded a 2019 high school grad to not enlist with the Marine Corps.

Takin’ the “W” on that one.

My daughter, track star, national merit scholar, valedictorian, certified crop dusting pilot, and prom queen turned down the USAF Academy because of the wokeness in the military.

She’s literally the first generation to not serve in 200 years in my family.

Hard decision but I agreed.

It was good to hear someone with cojones say something that’s needed. The DemocRATz are the party of Chamberlin, but even weaker. But, then again, at least Chamberlin was not a Commie.

Patton: “ We’ll win this war, but we’ll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we’ve got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We’re not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we’re going to rip out their living G—-D—- guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun c—-c—-ers by the bushel-f*ing-basket. War is a bloody, killing business. You’ve got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours.”

Our military cannot be 100% as long as women are in it.

Until the draft ended females were limited to 2% of the military with that 2% never or rarely reached, and the females were out of the way of the men by serving on main post in clerical and medical work, dental, finance offices and the military law offices, away from where the men lived and trained and lived the warrior culture.

Men cannot be pushed to their limits and learn new capabilities as long as the training and work is limited by what the female is capable of, even the morning runs and PT, even the culture and level of aggressiveness and use of the voice and language are limited to what the female can tolerate or will accept without doing the natural female act of seeking out protection and preferences from the higher ups.

Civilians barely have an awareness that male culture is very different from female culture, but in the military of the past it was known that they are two totally different worlds and that the brutish and coarse world needed to keep the men ready during the decades of peacetime in-between war was the culture of the warrior, today our military life is becoming a mirror of civilian life, just another federal job with daycare, gentle marching songs and weakened training with no shouting and coarseness where John and Bill do not leave Susie behind.

“…it’s warrior talk, not woke talk…”
And
“… before the moderators shut him down…”

Right there… probably hurt their “feewings”….

We should not debate against the stacked deck. we should demand one of our moderators on the panel. After all, the left is all about “equity”” equality” “fairness”… force them to put their money where their mouth is.

CAPT Cao is a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, so he is as smart as he is tough and patriotic. He would be an amazing Senator!

100% accurate, but I would add you also need to be permissive of a coarse enough environment to males to bond on their own terms, to develop trust, and enforce accountability. Men need to be able to call each other names, belittle each other, even fight sometimes, to be unified as a hardened fighting unit. If someone shirks their watch, it needs to be okay to punch them in the face and drag them out of their bag into the snow, if someone is too caught up in thier own culture or identity you need to be able to call them slurs and smack some sense in them until they become one with the team or drop out. In today’s Army, that sense of unity exists sparsely in some units and echelons, but not most. The officer corps is especially filled with soft men with strong egos, who have not sufficiently been tempered to get the level of cohesion that is desirable, let alone optimal. Perhaps a good near-peer war will change things, but the prolonged counter-insurgency campaign did not.

“What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat them and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are gonna win wars.”

That was a line in Full Metal Jacket and I guess it is a warrior speak traditional idiom. Hugely funny and lost on most of the PC and communist media and audience.

Heck I'm just glad to hear an Academy graduate talk about "winning wars" for crying out loud.

Nobody in our military flag officer corps has said anything like that in the past 50 years.

It's been all this Hearts and Minds bullshit. Even after 9/11 the idiots have thought we can win over the You-know-whos.

Stupid, stupid, stupid people in the Pentagon, DOD, and State.

Incapable of learning.

PS Cao is awesome. Hope he wins.

Lời cám ơn người nào, Cao.
