William Saletan: “The party of ‘national security’ is subordinating military readiness to snowflake cultural sensitivities. Specifically, Republicans are demanding that military personnel who refused orders to get vaccinated against COVID during the pandemic—and were discharged for their defiance—should be reinstated with back pay.”

“At the same time, many of these politicians are calling for a ban on transgender service members. They’re pretending that the ‘woke mind virus’ is a threat to military preparedness, but an actual virus isn’t. These Republicans aren’t serious about preparing for a real war. To them, the armed forces are just another battleground in the culture war.”

Both these policies will result in more death. GOP doesn't need soldiers or workers now that it has AI and drones. Useless people have to go. Persecuting lgbtq and not vaxxing military will hurt.

1. And Tommy Tooberville

Is blocking all military promotions.

Command of THREE branches are currently filled with acting heads.

2. Tommy's teammates are silently complicit and nobody else seems to have an answer.

The guy's a menace.

Is ANYONE mad as hell and not going to take it anymore?
