Pentagon Condemns Tucker Carlson’s Comments About Women In Military | TODAY

[josiah]

I thought the US Military was meant to defend us against nations like China or Russia. But here we are with the US military defending us Carlson??? 😂😂😂

[navarro]

Should women really be flying when they’re pregnant? Holy guac, those are extreme working conditions

[oceanhome]

If we are ever involved in a conflict with a peer level enemy we will lose . The military is not a social experiment, every decision it makes should be a meritocracy of winning a war period .
I am sorry if I hurt your feelings

[eYeOfXaxaar]

Could you stop shooting at me for a few minutes? I'm about to give birth.

Condemning the idea that prioritizing putting pregnant women into air combat isn't the best way to promote an effective fighting force?

They're just proving his point that they care more about identity politics than defending America.

[josiah]

When the Pentagon becomes politicized we ALL need to be concerned. Instead of the US Military fighting a foreign threat like China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran, they are fighting with a journalist? This is disturbing.

Good, time to hold women to the same fitness standards!

[IvanDL_PR]

He didnt insult anyone. He just stated the obvious. Hang on Tucker, people with common sense support you.

[consarge]

when the military goes woke, there’s a problem 😂

[dinoprimi]

If things were so “equal” between men and woman, why does it take the entire pentagon to protect them from a talk show host😂😭

[GriftinGuruhunter]

I wonder which clothing manufacturer in China will win the bid to make them
Prego Pilot Poncho's :/
" God Save the Reserve Note !!!"

[headhunterkingsteve]

DID YOU FLY A JET FIGHTER WHILE PREGNANT?
I HOPE YOUR NOT THAT CRAZY...

[davidsmith]

A news reporter has the Pentagons attention what has this country become other than a joke

[cmataira]

Tucker is too intelligent for many people to understand his satire.

[dalebutler]

WOW Military putting unborn children at risk of dying before they are given the chance to choose their gender 😂😂

[williamhurd]

We've already lost Speech, Internet, Leadership, Government and now the Military...What's next 2A?

[nicolascollier]

I want the most qualified to keep My family and I safe, don’t really care about your personal life, unless it affects your Duty. Facts not feelings.

[charlesxavier]

I really can't see a bunch of pregnant, LGBT/unigender marines assaulting Iwo either. I hope we do not get into any wars.

[Pat-zu]

As usual... so called woke culture being offended on stupid little things while ignoring main issues. Im a girl.. I don’t think that’s entirely offensive. Nobody here is against females in the military or navy or wherever as long as they can do the job strongly and efficiently just like a man would be held accountable to the same standard. I wouldn’t ask for special privileges just cuz I’m a lady since that’s minority appeasement based on identity and not credibility, which has no room for progress in a society. Even thint it’s great for women to join, using common sense, definitely shouldn’t be allowed for pregnant women to be actively on duty, dangerous for not only women, and their babies, but also dangerous for the country and an easy win for the enemies.

Tucker is not wrong here. May be you can send your pregnant daughter on a sortie into enemy territory, I rather my daughter go on a mission after giving birth.
