the small number of elite units that are and should remain all male is such a pittance in the overall capability of our military it is almost laughable for a candidate right here, right now, to spend time making this kind of statements

how about Tedly addressing the crippling politically correct ROE issued by our potus and his pentagon lackies that went along with it, and how many people it has killed

How about addressing why we have had so many operational failures like SEAL Team 6 loss and had so many sensitive operations compromised even by Biden and US Senators?

How about addressing Obama’s drone war assassinations all over the middle east, Yemen and Pakistan and the IS sympathizers it is recruiting? How about addressing why the small-p potus is releasing unrepentant enemy combatants from GITMO to kill other people’s sons and daughters he has ordered into war?

How about addressing loose cannon McCain and other dumbo politicians flying below the radar with their self aggrandizing forays into Ukrainian and Syrian politics to run us into a proxy war against Russia?

How about addressing why we have 4,000 troops again in combat now in Iraq (twitting the Russians by refusing their offer to coordinate operations). Why boots on the ground in Syria and Libya? Where is the congressional oversight of this? When did they take a vote on this?

Who has time for this “women shouldn’t be SEALS” crap when the ship of state is being steered onto the shoals of WW3?
THAT is what I consider a military priority issue

Except that it is not "just a small pittance of elite units". It includes standard front line infantry, armor, combat engineer, and artillery units. That is the core striking power of the Army and Marine Corps, the reason for their very existence.

Why are you hyperventilating? Cruz was answering questions on a survey on military readiness, and this was one of the questions. So far, Trump cannot even be bothered to respond.
