    Did you mean to post a link to his wiki page? That link only returns to the OP.

    Lots of these Trumpsters leaders come from the elite. Rubes voting for the Wharton King of Queens Russian backed billionaire that has incredible skills to spin and twist things in his favor from his training with over 3000 lawsuits. Ted Cruz, the Princeton and Harvard grad. There is nothing more elite than graduating from these schools, regardless of the fact that once you get in your graduation is almost a sure thing. If you have the cash and the connections, they have the golden ticket waiting for you.

    Hawley - Stanford, Yale
    DeSantis - Yale, Harvard
    Kennedy - Vanderbilt, Virginia, Oxford
    Cotton - Harvard, Harvard
    Trump Jr - Wharton
    McEnany - Georgetown, Oxford, Miami, Harvard

    meh....

    Our Military is badly sidetracked. They need to get back to the defense of the United States.

    Tucker Carlson is a full-blown disingenuous jerk.

    Fake News. Searched your source for "Fodder" and it returned no results.

    IT’S COME TO THIS: The US Marines attack Tucker Carlson, critics, forced to walk back comments with apologies.
    “If Tucker wanted to prove that today’s armed forces need a priority check, he couldn’t have written a better script than this. The military isn’t supposed to be publicly haranguing American citizens for criticizing them.”

    "“THE IRONY HERE IS THAT THESE ACCOUNTS ARE PROVING TUCKER CARLSON’S POINT ABOUT THE U.S. MILITARY’S PRIORITIES TO A ‘T’.” U.S. Military Twitter Accounts And Officials Attack Tucker Carlson For Questioning Woke Agenda."

    "They were tired of being the United States’ most trusted institution. Get woke, go broke."

    "They seem to see the Argentine military as their role model these days: An institution of domestic control whose competence at dealing with foreign threats no longer matters."

    These schools have high graduation rates because they admit a very bright, very committed and driven student body, not because they just push them through with bogus courses and lax standards so that most graduate. Using their high graduation rates as some sort of hint that doing the work there is not that hard and once you get in it's "a sure thing" is extremely disingenuous.

    As someone with Ivy League education whose children are also Ivy League graduates, I do know what I'm talking about.

    As for the other part of your post, yes, some of these right wing politicians have earned elite education. This is not new. Both parties have people like this. Look at Stacey Abrams: Yale Law grad. The Clintons, Obama, are Yale and Harvard grads. John Kerry, Yale. Chuck Schumer, Harvard.

    But then, both the Left and the Right also have some poorly educated dumb-dumbs... like AOC for the left, and Sarah Palin for the right. 18% of Senators in 2015 came from the Ivy League but 60% came from in-state colleges.

    In the current House of Representatives, 6 Republicans are Harvard grads, while 34 Democrats are Harvard grads.

    Focus on China, not Carlson.

    1. It wasn't a political discussion, it was a direct attack on the military by a cable news guy. And since, as far as I know, he has not been reprimanded, I'm going to assume he didn't break any laws or rules or codes of conduct.

    2. I used to work with those folks, the ones that were Air Force and are now Space Force. They're stationed out at Schriever AFB. I wouldn't want to pick a verbal fight with them. There are no dummies in that outfit.

    3. IMO, Tucker Carlson is a fool who deserves any derision poured upon him.

    "So, we’ve got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits. Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It’s a mockery of the U.S. military.”

    Now, if you aren't a woman, you may not understand the misogyny. What he said was dismissive of, and hateful towards, the women who choose to serve. It was disrespectful towards our military in general as well.

    Carlson is a spoiled little rich boy who never had to worry about money, and was sent to some of the most expensive schools on the planet. His father owns whole islands, not just estates in expensive places like La Jolla, CA.

    Tucker never bother to serve his country, and in fact was turned away when he applied for work at the CIA. If you're one of the many who moan and groan about elites, Tucker is as elite as they come.

    He said nothing misogynistic and that is an absolute fact. Words are not defiuuned by the gender of the ones reading them. Women have no special insight into what misogyny is because they are women. Your claim is an outright lie.

    It was not dismissive or hateful to women period and you are strictly employing mental gymnastics to support a fallacy.

    Losing war games has ZERO to do with hairstyles.

    The entire point of the thread is the difference in focus between our two Military's. Not sure how many times i have to repeat myself for it to sink in for you.

    Except you're wrong. You really think the US military is so focused on hairstyles that they can't do anything else? Somehow military training has become inept because some very small part of the military adjusted guidelines for hairstyles? Our military has somehow lost it's ability to multitask because of hairstyles? Get real.
    If you believe the US military is so focused on hairstyles to the point of not being able to train its soldiers then you are utterly clueless about how the military is run. Clearly you just need something to be upset about. I dunno...apparently Trump losing has made you overly emotional. I get it, Biden is not exactly a great choice either, but get a grip man.

    Yet again attacking me instead of going back and reading the quotes provided.

    For example
    A series of classified war games conducted by the Defense Department, most recently in 2020, found that the Chinese military consistently won in confrontations with the United States. “The trend in our war games was not just that we were losing, but we were losing faster,” Air Force Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote told Yahoo News.

    Which, again, has ZERO to do with hairstyles. THAT is what you're not getting.

    Dude pregnant women don't need to be pulling high G maneuvers. Fighter pilot is not a job for some one who is on the verge of throwing up for three months. I don't care how good a pilot you are nausea throws you off your game and other people's live hang on you operating at peak efficiency.

    In September 2019 — when Donald Trump was president — the U.S. Air Force updated its policies to "reduce barriers on pregnant aviators who perform flight duties and have uncomplicated pregnancies," according to a statement from the military branch. "This update allows many women to keep performing flight duties during their pregnancy, maintain currency, and prevent postpartum requalification training."

    About a year later, the Air Force announced it was seeking pregnant service members to participate in a "maternity flight duty uniform fit and wear" test as part of that effort.

    The statement quotes 1st Lt. Avery Thomson, a lead program manager for maternity development in the Air Force Uniform Office, as saying that the effort was important for the approximately 400 pregnant airmen each year who had previously been modifying their flight duty uniforms "at a significant personal financial cost" or "borrowing bigger uniforms from their husbands, which creates a safety of flight issue."


    In other words, might the US Air Force have some type of idea of when a pregnant woman can or can't perform flight duties??? You really think the Air Force, let alone the pilot herself, will let a woman with morning sickness fly? Try to use some critical thinking.

    Yeah right that's what I want camo that all but yells here I am shoot me.

    Platoon sgt: You in the puce and blue, patrol that line over there about 150 yards away.

    Puce and blue: You don't like me!

    Platoon Sgt: I don't even know you, and in that out fit I'll never get a chance to, because you're going to draw fire like, 10 pounds of hamburger at the first post covid cookout and I'd rather not have any more people killed than necessary.
