The US Marines admitted to 'messing up' after ganging up on Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who mocked the military's shift from defense to social justice issues - after remarks by President Biden on International Women's Day on how he'd nominated two women for four-star command positions in the armed forces.
"So we’ve got new hairstyles, maternity flight suits. Pregnant women are going to fight our wars," Carlson said on Wednesday night, adding "It's a mockery of the US military" before he compared the US military to China's - which is "becoming more masculine."
Following Carlson's segment, the official Twitter account for the II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group joined a pile-on by several woke military officials - tweeting a picture of a female soldier carrying a male soldier, tagging Carlson with the caption "what it looks like in today's armed forces," adding "Get right before you get left, boomer."

WNU editor: You just know that Tucker Carlson is reveling in all of this attention.
But it gets better.
The GF made a comment on this story and what I posted yesterday that I think is priceless .... Command Senior Enlisted Leader Of United States Space Command Weighs In On Pregnant Women Serving In The Military (March 13, 2021).
Command Senior Enlisted Leader of United States Space Command, Scott H. Stalker says Tucker Carlson has never served in the military (unlike him who has served for years), and that he knows more about pregnant women serving in the military than a TV host.
The GF says fair enough.
But she is willing to bet that Command Senior Enlisted Leader of United States Space Command, Scott H. Stalker has never gotten pregnant, and may not be the best person to comment on this topic.

Just watched a documentary about the chain home radar system "Battle of Britain (The Race for Radar). The radar system and Fighter Command were 'manned' by women. They did what battle management software of today does. On a side note, it is well worth watching from an acquisition/procurement historical and intel point of views. The documentary reinforces, what people may have seen from pictures WW2 histories or or documentaries. Wall to wall women in the military establishment.
You are going to have women in the military. Only question is what specialties and how much of strain it will put on the system.
As a cop for 30 years, I have worked with some very competent women; work ethic, intelligence and leadership. That being said, I personally never worked with a woman cop I wanted in a fight. They simply got in the way. Having a woman cop as your backup when it was going to go physical meant on paper you had backup but in reality you were on your own.
I was in the Corp from '75 to '79, infantry. Whenever we were subjected to the company of a Woman Marine, our unit culture was expected to change and the WM got special favors.
In the book Starship Trooper's, the women were vital and qualified in specific roles but not in the mobile infantry.
When I watch a show like the Pacific, I have played the thought game of inserting women into those units and situations. I can't see it. But necessity may require this because the American male under thirty by and large are a joke in so many ways.
