Fox News host Tucker Carlson comes under fire after declaring America’s troops have become “female”.
Carlson, who never served in the military but tried unsuccessfully to join the CIA, delivered a shame Tuesday night that vilified the American armed forces while praising China’s military.
“Well, that tells you everything,” began Carlson, as reported by Media Matters. He then compared the coronavirus pandemic threat and NIH director Tony Fauci to what a Chinese official called the “national masculinity crisis”.
Carlson suggested that in a remarkably short time, less than a year, China turned an official’s “warning” into a massive structure of naval warships that would take many years to design and build.
“Last year we learned that China was quickly developing the world’s largest naval force. In 2015, China had 255 battleships. Now they have more than 360, and many of these ships are more capable than anything else in the American fleet. How do we react to that? Well, yesterday at the White House, Joe Biden effectively addressed it. How is the American military reacting? “Said Carlson, mocking the President.
He then revealed to President Biden: “We are making good progress in developing body armor that fits women well, customizing combat uniforms for women, creating maternity flight suits, and updating the requirements for their hairstyles. And some of that will require an intensity of purpose and initiative to really change the culture and habits that lead women to quit the military. “
Carlson continued to ridicule the American military and women who serve, and some risked their lives for his freedom to vilify them.
“So we have new hairstyles and maternity flight suits. Pregnant women will wage our wars. It’s a mockery of the US military. While China’s military becomes more masculine when it gathers together the largest navy in the world, as Joe Biden says, our military must become more feminine, whatever feminine means, since men and women no longer exist. The bottom line is it’s out of control and the Pentagon is doing it. “
Carlson’s misogynist attacks, suggestions that women don’t do as well as men, that for some reason only men – and only “male” men – should serve in the military, and that women in the military somehow make our forces less lethal and less effective and less ” male ”have sparked outrage and anger among current and former military personnel.
I serviced planes before going to work and had several supervisors doing the same thing in front of me. I have more manhood in my left ovary than @TuckerCarlson could ever hope for or pass on.

Dear @TuckerCarlson and @FoxNews, I’m a woman who has served in the U.S. military for over a decade. I have been deployed three times in the fight against zones and once I was pregnant in uniform.
Please explain to me how my existence is a “mockery” of the US military. https://t.co/kkXW0dqNBR

@TuckerCarlson Unlike you, I served in the army for 20 years, including fighting with incredibly brave and brave sisters.
Our armed forces are the most capable force in the world because our women in uniform serve selflessly, make sacrifices, and are professional.

I agree with Pat. Thousands of women serve honorably around the world every day. They are beacons of freedom and, through determination and dedication, prove otherwise to Carlson. We are fortunate that they serve with us. https://t.co/R4dycOXknl

You wouldn’t remember which branch of the military the Prince of Fish Fingers served in. My mother was one of the early years of the military WACS. Before working with Signal Corp as a code breaker. She actually built bombs. pic.twitter.com/KbJWawD03O

3 a.m. Fence guard shift in the Capitol.
Is that the “ridicule” you talk about at @TuckerCarlson?
I’m just trying to make sure I understand the line between defending the nation and feminizing the military. pic.twitter.com/CcTvA3wBmQ

I met Laura Richardson when she was LT in Korea. She was married to my CO … and pregnant. She went on to lead an attack helicopter battalion in Iraq and now SOUTHOM. She has done more for our nation than @TuckerCarlson will ever accomplish. https://t.co/1Imc8de09p

I joined ROTC in 1973, the first time your women had a chance to participate in the program. That was nearly 50 years ago, and women have been doing honorable service since 1776. Fox New represents some Neanderthals. Respect, young lady, for your service.

@ TuckerCarlson you know who’s a mockery … YOU. I will take a pregnant woman to “WIN” the nation’s war for you. Beyond that, what do you know about winning wars, much less about winning. Let’s be clear, “women” who serve in the military and are pregnant or not, will train you for PERIOD !!! https://t.co/cLdUXkTbuc

Here is a picture of my Army lady and me after a 3-mile run near Ft Hood. I’m the best overall male finisher, she’s the best overall female finisher. She was also the top finisher and beat me by more than a minute and a half. Side note: she was 12 weeks pregnant with our daughter. #soHooah pic.twitter.com/LQyisePoAZ

Anyone who is open to about 20% of the military “does not support the troops”.

No, he didn’t serve in the military. Tucker Carlson is a legacy of the people who made the TV dinner up (Swanson).
He and his family have been filling the disadvantaged and impoverished with unhealthy trash for over a goddamn century.

Pregnant women serve in our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard to protect our nation, serve Americans, and would sacrifice their lives if necessary. @TuckerCarlson has, is and will not. #Faketriot
