Fox News host Tucker Carlson was trying to make a point that the U.S. Military is getting soft with identity politics under illegitimate president Joe Biden. The liberal media has interpreted this falsely by claiming Carlson said women shouldn’t be allowed to serve in the military. As if to prove his point, members of the U.S. Military have attacked Carlson repeating this false claim.
Here’s what Carlson actually said last Tuesday:

“So we’ve got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits. Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It’s a mockery of the U.S. military. While China’s military becomes more masculine as it’s assembled the world’s largest navy, our military needs to become as Joe Biden says more feminine, whatever feminine means anymore since men and women no longer exist. The bottom line is it’s out of control, and the Pentagon is going along with this,” said Carlson.
At no point does Carlson ever say that women can’t or shouldn’t serve in the military, but facts are something the left has no interest in. And because of that, it’s clear that the U.S. Military is full of liberal crybabies. Check out these responses from senior defense officials:
This is the official Twitter account of the II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group:
Tucker Carlson is 51-years-old and definitely not a “Boomer.” Get right, IIMEF, before you get left. Actually, it’s pretty clear they are left with this tweet.
Here’s the Command Senior Enlisted Leader of the US Space Command:

Saying Carlson has no right to opine on the military because he never served is like claiming a neurosurgeon can’t diagnose a brain injury because he’s never had severe head trauma.
Army Major General Patrick Donahoe:
This is me, yesterday, conducting a re-enlistment for one of the tens of thousands of women who serve in our Army. Just a reminder that @TuckerCarlson couldnt be more wrong. https://t.co/M1MHe5zHrf

Even General Pauly Funk the Second got in on the action:
I agree Pat . Thousands of women serve honorably every day around the globe. They are beacons of freedom and they prove Carlson wrong through determination and dedication. We are fortunate they serve with us. https://t.co/R4dycOXknl

Sergeant Major of the Army Michale Grinston:
Women lead our most lethal units with character. They will dominate ANY future battlefield we’re called to fight on. @TuckerCarlson’s words are divisive, don’t reflect our values. We have THE MOST professional, educated, agile, and strongest NCO Corps in the world. https://t.co/WeqWk6IWDq

And finally, here’s retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and current democrat Senator, Tammy Duckworth:
F*ck Tucker Carlson. While he was practicing his two-step, America’s female warriors were hunting down Al Qaeda and proving the strength of America’s women.

Remember when the liberal media was crying that soldiers should be punished for wearing MAGA hats because they said the military shouldn’t make political statements? No such outrage here.
Tucker Carlson’s point was that under Biden, the military is more interested in identity politics than preparation. The military proved his point with this collective identity politics freak-out.
