    And you missed the point as well, which is that the military leadership is more inclined to woke idiocy and defending such than it is to defend the country, a task at which it becomes increasingly incapable as it becomes less and less a military and more and more a largely defunct social experiment attempting to prove that anything will fly if you throw it hard enough.

    Tucker is a political commentator for Fox news. The subject is not relevant. When a well known individual such as the Senior Master Sergeant for the Space Command makes a comment, that comment is automatically taken as the position of Space Command. Space Command has no political positions or least is not supposed to. If Tucker's comment requires a response, there are people to are paid to respond.

    You have inadvertently shown the problem. You stated that "defend his statement....not attack the military for pointing out how idiotic his comment was". The comment was not made by the military. It was made by someone that they perceived to represent the military because of his position in the military. Most likely, the "military" would have just kept silent and the whole thing would go away with no further controversy which the military would most likely would have preferred.

    That's not the military's problem. That's Fox's problem if they decide to hire bigots.

    Now, answer the question: What is "political" about pregnancy?

    It has nothing to do with pregnancy. It has to do with responding to a political pundit. It became the military's problem when one of their leaders commented on it.

    So you refuse to answer the question.

    I think serious people should stop ignoring bigots and call them out on the spot. Racists and bigots have been ignored for decades, and the only thing that got us was... Trump.

    We need to stop ignoring them and face them head on. They are all cowards like Carlson who will wimp out the minute they have to defend their bigotry.

    I did. It has nothing to do with pregnancy. It is getting into a discussion with a political pundit who is clearly political.
    The military is not "we". The military gains nothing by getting into such discussions. It puts them on a "side of the issue", just like the discussion here puts us on the side of an issue. A well known Space Command official unnecessarily placed the military into the discussion.

    I don't think his comment was idiotic. I'll bet it is shared by the majority of military personnel, at least privately.

    Could someone be specific on what comment(s) Tucker said that are so egregious?

    So you think the US military is incapable of defending our country? Gee, if I didn’t know better I’d say you hate the US military.

    First, I read it. Which is why I was asking the question.

    Secondly, you must have read #36 where I made a prediction, and you decided to make my prediction come true, so thanks!

    You agree then that women should be excluded from combat roles? Or from military service completely? Or just that pregnant women should be discharged?

    Did Tucker say that pregnant women be discharged? I asked for what Tucker said. That wasn't in the OP. Could you source that?

    A) If you “read” the OP and still don’t know then please have someone read it to you
    B) No, I didn’t read your post and still haven’t as I’m on a phone and post #s don’t show.
    If your prediction was that someone would have to help you understand the OP then cool.

    About your useless “prediction”? Nope, nor do I actually care since it’s meaningless. Did you get someone to help you read the OP?

    Your Google is broke?

    His rant about women that serve starts at 2:17



    Let me try once more, giving you a chance to catch up.

    You agree then that women should be excluded from combat roles?
    Or from military service completely?
    Or just that pregnant women should be discharged?

    So the answer is no, Tucker never said pregnant women should be discharged. So why did you pose that question?

    Why is this so hard? I ask, "could someone be specific on what comment(s) Tucker said" and you said that he implied something? Is this joke?
