My dad was West Point, class of 1949. He lived his life by their Honor Code. "A Cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."
Recently, Tucker Carlson lit into President Biden for prioritizing pregnant women in the military over the threat from China. Here's the segment.
Since that segment aired, admirals, generals and PAO staffers have gone on social media to criticize Tucker and defend women in the military. I did a cursory look through their content and I noticed that they had deliberately misstated his position, expanding it to an attack on women in general. He absolutely did not say that.
What happened to the Honor Code? What happened to military brass staying out of politics?
Some dude says, "Pregnancy flight suits? Really? Also, dig the size and growth of the Chinese Navy!" The brass reply with, "We support women in the military!"
Huh?
Bonus Take: Man, Biden looks awful. The blank expression on his face as he struggles to read his teleprompter suggests to me that he can see the words, but inside his head, he's trying to figure out what they mean.
Super Special Bonus Take: At the very end, Tucker reveals that the CNO's reading list includes Ibram Kendi's Mein Kampf. That fits in well with the whole "Diversity is our strength" thing. What has yet to be explained is how we've been fought to a draw by a group, the Taliban, whose entire raison d'être is to put an end to diversity. You'd think that with our massive diversity advantage, we'd have trounced them easily.

Well, you know, their *politics* requires them to be intellectually dishonest in the matter, for they know full well that women, pregnant or not, have no business pretending to be soldiers (nor police nor firemen), thereby endangering not only their own lives, but the lives of others, by their mere presence in those uniformed services. They need to keep people as far away as possible from thinking about what happens when our feminized and 'woke' military is forced to go up against a real military power.
