Marines go woke on Twitter; get bitchslapped hard

I want to point out AGAIN that Tucker was not disparaging women in the military - in fact he said specifically that women serve with honor and distinction. He was talking about how we're in a shaky global situation while the Biden* administration is focused on transing up our military and doling out maternity uniforms.

This is what's so annoying about these pop culture cultbots - they completely make up these stories, react angrily to them en masse, and now the lie is the truth and what was actually said no longer exists.

When our military men and women become cultbot mouthpieces ranting on social media like not very bright tweens, that is pretty scary.

I'm not sure what is more disturbing: that the MEF is picking a fight with a pundit over something he didn't even say, or that they tweet like a 15 year old kid and call adults "Boomer".

Click on the tweet to read the responses and watch whatever dipshit Marine runs that account get her (and it's almost certainly a her) ass handed to her.

She just embarrassed the entire Marine Corps.

Punk's CO probably made her delete it.

For many, including some in uniform themselves, the armed forces are now simply another part of our woke professional class. And they will use the full weight of their authority in exactly the same manner that progressive scolds do whenever they find their priorities challenged, even when it means violating the apparently sacred norms they claim to defend.

The defense establishment’s aggressive actions on behalf of Biden-administration policy comes after nearly two months in which downtown Washington, DC, has resembled a military camp. Four times as many troops were deployed for Biden’s inauguration as there are serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. The sealed-off ceremony in January was like a scene from Edward Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” in which the praetorian guard install a senile patrician as emperor. Sinister-looking fences still surround the Capitol.

Which brings us to the real lesson of Gibbon. For every grandee raised to the imperial purple by the troops against the wishes of the people, another was deposed. When the military answers to no one, least of all its critics, it becomes the real source of power. This has been true throughout history. Every politician who has relied upon the military to police his domestic enemies has lived to regret it.

While it would be an exaggeration to say that huffy social-media comments are comparable to the perfidy of Roman generals, we should acknowledge the danger posed by a military establishment that attacks those it exists to defend. No American should have the impression that we are here to serve the military, rather than the other way around.

A politicized US military should horrify all Americans

During the last administration it was hard to go a week or even a day without someone decrying a supposedly appalling “attack” on members of the press by President Donald Trump. These assaults larg…
