Defense Secretary Hegseth: "Our Diversity Is Not Our Strength,"

[MagicMike]

1949

How does this number relate to the point at hand.....which is when you enlist in the military you leave your personal identity on the bus and you begin a transformation the moment you put your feet on the painted prints?
If you are gay, or transgender, or queer, or vulcan, or Egyptian, or whatever else....it doesn't matter. You leave it all behind and become a blank canvass.
Then you are reconstructed into something new.
It's the same with everyone.
The "issue" has arisen because some groups of individuals have decided over the years that THEY are so important that THEY should have special rules and regs that allow THEM to bypass the norm and still be recognized for their individuality in spite of also wanting to pretend they are soldiers!

Ask the Proud Boys.

What does that collection of idiots have to do with US Department of Defense recruitment and treatment of its soldiers?

Actually 1948.

In 1964 Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater by 61% of the vote. That is what a landslide looks like. Trump did not come close to that.

We don’t go by popular vote, and candidates don’t run to get it. Based on electoral votes, which is how our system is designed, it was a landslide.

And as Trump and Elon uncover the extent of government corruption, get American hostages back, move toward a Middle East solution, move toward the end of the Ukraine war, etc., etc., he’s more popular than he was on November 5. And it’s only been three weeks!

Your side should not have put up a DEI idiot if you hoped for a chance to win. Kamala’s only qualification was her female blackness, and that wasn’t enough for those not afflicted with TDS.

I agree with you about Kamala Harris. I never forgave her for criticizing Joe Biden for opposing forced school bussing in 1973.

I think that soon after his inauguration Joe Biden should have announced that he did not intend to run for reelection. That would have opened the Democrat nomination to a younger candidate than Biden, and a more appealing candidate than Harris.

Trump does not have a mandate for letting Russia conquer Ukraine. The only mandate he does have is to raise the standard of living for lower middle class whites and working class whites. I do not think he can do that with tariffs and Elon Musk's plans to eliminate nearly one third of the federal budget.

Two-time President Obama had bigger electoral college margins than Shitler!

Interpreted to mean white men only should be in the military.

No. Women can join too, but they must pass all the physical tests as male recruits. Black men can also enlist, but they have to be real Americans.

There are many people in the military who are foreign-born, and this is bad, because their loyalty could be to their home countries. I know this is "racist", not "PC", but it's the truth.

"Black men can also enlist, but they have to be real Americans." YOU ARE A RACIST P O S!

Would that not be the same for white immigrants and their "home" country?

 

[MayorQuimby]

I have no problem with keeping those out of the military too.

Do you think you have made a point?

Wondering why you singled out just the black color.

Women can fill support functions in the military. I do not want them to be put into combat. Most women can't fight. If they are captured by the enemy, most get raped. The Russians learned during World War II, and the Israelis learned during Israel's War of Independence in 1948 that when women are in combat their male comrades become more interested in protecting them than in fighting the enemy. Also, when women are killed and wounded that has a more devastating effect on male morale than when men are killed and wounded.

No one doubts the physical abilities of Negro men. They should have the same intelligence as white men to qualify for the military.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Wondering why you singled out just the black color.

I see that you are one of those people who are easily triggered anytime someone doesn't completely toe the anti-racist party-line.

Anyway, my point isn't to "single out black people" (keep crying though). Rather, it is that foreign-born people really should not be in the military.

All very true.

Also, there is another big thing: when you put male soldiers and female soldiers together, sometimes the female soldiers get pregnant. I don't think this is good for winning a war.

Great, we just get the white guys in charge of the fire department.

I don't understand why you just say shit like that. He has some very good points. For once, try to be an adult.
