The people who are most obsessed with the military have never serve. I worked 4 years in the aerospace industry and this is the most common thing.

[Fingermanant]

800 billion a year in 'defense spending' is the issue. i think the military will be fine. how much money has gone unaccounted for by the dod? trillions?

[margaretsomerville]

gaslighting, there are more issues on the table.

😢 wealthy people in power are irresponsible and lack understanding of the humanity we all deserve on Earth 😢

Well, let’s just hope he doesn’t need a bathroom. God forbid there might be a trans in bathroom! Oh the horror! Get real. Anyone who starts with “I’m not a racist” usually are.

Where is her argument against Tubberville discriminating against women in military?

My beloved Marine Corps motto is "The Few, The Proud, The Marines" and not "The Diverse, The Included, The Equitable". In my 23 years, we never had this issue. We have standards and regulations, and if you don't meet them, then you have other military branches to apply to.

This was a poorly argued commentary on the topic.

[edechevarria]

Go girl you bad and thank your husband for his service.

MY FATHER SALVATORE'S MOTHER NAME WAS PAULINA, HER FAMILY WAS FROM TUNISIA, NORTH AFRICA, THEY CAME HERE LEGALLY THROUGH ELLIS ISLAND FROM SICILY. I'M TIRED OF HEARING ALL THE B.S. COMPLAINING FROM BIASED DEMOCRAPS TOO !

My job as a soldier primarily was to delete people, and do it when the US Government, regardless of the reason said do it. The enemy wouldn't have cared that I was Pagan serving at or near the front lines. He'd shot me anyway. Standards wise that meant I needed to know how shoot, move, and communicate and be proficient enough in each to save my life, defend my squad and platoonmates, and accomplish the mission. If I couldn't meet the standards, I was always under threat of discharge, and for good reasons. No being proficient, or physically capable gets people hurt or worse deleted. My ability to perform to standard as a soldier (or better) correlates directly to how well my unit is able to accomplish it's mission.
Personally it doesn't matter what gender, pronouns you prefer, religion, sexual orientation, or skin tone. You're there to do a job. You're there to delete people opposed to the United States of America. That is your primary mission in life as a service memeber, every job ultimate funnels into that one task. Preserve your life and take the enemies.
Our men and women in uniform are professionals, many of them are mature enough to perform in that capacity. Trust them to do the job at the level of professionalism we require of them. Stop hobbling the Military with "sensitivity traning" and making it cater to nonsensical political whims. The Military isn't daycare. We expect themse people to operate in some of the most exterme environments under the most adverse of conditions. It's not a kindergarten field trip to the zoo where every body is made to hold hands and be nice to each other.
Get out of the Militarys way and let them do their job.

"I can't be racist because I'm a minority too!" &
" My husband was deployed while he was in the service... So I know all about serving in the military! " Good God... She's insufferable....🙄

[chrisdavis]

Isnt there a violin somewhere in the congressional chambers someone can pull out and play

[bencagampang]

Even minority Republicans can miss the point ❤

[superfly]

Barry Goldwater said, and I’m paraphrasing, “I don’t care if they’re gay or not, as long as they can shoot a gun.” If he was still around today, he’d be fine with “diversity”, as long as they can shoot a gun, or drive a truck, or fix a helicopter, or stop bleeding and ease some pain.

[lcoolsu]

Let's thank her for her courage then we'll slam the door in her face

[gregolvrz]

"Don't make it about race" goes on to talk about her race and talk about race...move on blow up doll
