Senior military officials are condemning Fox News host Tucker Carlson for saying this week that President Joe Biden is making a mockery of the armed forces through efforts to recruit and keep women in the service.
On Tuesday, Carlson complained during his prime-time program that while Chinas military becomes more masculine
our military needs to become, as Joe Biden says, more feminine.
Carlson was referring to remarks Biden made at a White House ceremony on Monday, during which he announced the nominations of two female generals to become combatant commanders putting them on track to potentially become only the second and third women to serve in those positions in U.S. history.
At that event, Biden said the military was undertaking relatively straightforward work to better reflect gender diversity within its ranks and retain female recruits, including designing body armor that fits women properly, tailoring combat uniforms for women, creating maternity flight suits [and] updating requirements for their hairstyles........................

(28,941 posts)Serve in any combat zones? Command a major air command? You know, like General Jacqueline Van Ovost?
Or like General Laura Richardson, can you fly a Black Hawk chopper, did you serve in two combat zones, command two major Army commands? She's married to a Army lieutenant general and they have a daughter. Amazing how women can multi-task.
You're way out of date, Tuck. The mandatory pregnancy discharge was dropped in the mid-seventies. Followed very soon after by pregnancy uniforms. Do try to keep up.
A couple more questions: You want all servicemen who have a temporary medical deferment discharged because that's all pregnancy is? Do you all men who claim minor children as dependents discharged or banned from military service? Good luck with that one.
In closing, from a retired woman senior noncom, piss off A-hole.

(190 posts)Do they hide behind the fact that Tucker is an hour of opinion and not news? Hes a commentator, basically - not an anchor. If the marketing is prime time, can we argue that his program is technically fake news....?

(4,973 posts)they will hire the biggest ass-clown lying sack of shit they can find as long as he/she calls himself/herself a repuglican and brings some ratings. This is why that whole shitty network was created. Not to inform, but to propagandize.

(11,100 posts)who has never served his country in any capacity and has no basis for an opinion about what the military does and does not need.
The US military could not - and should not try - to operate without woman serving.
Before offering inane opinions about the military, Tucker boy would do well to ask someone with military experience.
