Now, as many of you probably know, I’m not a great fan of the US military.
That however does mean I disrespect the soldiers. My beef with them is how they’re used and the political aims behind it.
Well, obviously, if I was America. I would question the amount of money getting pumped into it and the lobby groups if the Military Industrial Complex... but this is besides the point...
Dumb arse Carlson has mocked females in the US military (and at the same time subtely trying to make China look like an enemy on the doorsteps) and the Pentagon has reacted... basically saying they’re not going to take advice from someone like Tucker.
Who’s name, I might add, seems to be heavy on T’s and light on the F’s...
Anyhoo, I’ve met Israeli soldiers of the female persuasion and, although I’ve not met Carlson, I know who I’d bet on in bare knuckled fight.
I don’t know any US female soldiers. But I’m sure they’re trained in Krav Maga or something similar. And I really hope they storm into Fox News and mock Fu... I mean Tucker.

Good old Tucker is a piece of work for sure. I wonder what he will say on his death bed: "I have done the world a huge favor by me being alive'?
@shavixmir saidHahahahahahaha!!

"pro-life", but also anti any measure to help said life once it's born, pro death penalty, anti gun-control and pro wars.
avid supporters of free market, but not when it comes to bailouts and tax cuts for the rich.
"pull yourself by your bootstraps" but not if you're about to inherit billions through no merit of yours.
"support the troops" but not with healthcare and jobs once they come back home and definitely not supporting them by not sending them to wars to enrich oil companies and gun manufacturers.
The US military has had females in its ranks going way back
The WAVES and WACS played prominent roles in WWII, as an example.
Now, the roles women play in the military have been expanded and I may not
agree with all of it, but certainly it cannot be totally dismissed.
TO BE FAIR: I know 16% get pregnant but it is a problem that can be worked on. You can't end female enlistments due to that.
@Earl-of-Trumps
Sure there were women in the armed forces in WW2 but not combat, nurses, docs, psychs and the like. Now women are getting into actual combat.
@Duchess64
I don't imagine women were treated equal to men back then, I heard a story about the medical profession in Russia, where it used to be considered a high honor but when women started becoming doctors the entire profession was downgraded to something more like a chiropractor.
