I thought the military was supposed to be non-political. “How dare Joe Biden give a speech in front of two marines!”

But It’s okay to purge the military of “liberals” and put in trump loyalists?

Gee, I always thought generals were normally somewhat to the right of Atilla the Hun. When did that change?

There are lots of Mark Kelly ads in Tucson just tearing Blake Masters up, and I hardly see any Blake Masters ads. I mean, the dude was a Naval aviator and an astronaut...how much more badass can one guy get?.

So what is his plan? Promote colonels to 4-star positions?

Stalin tried that.

"Ladies for President Trump"? Is that a parody, like Ladies Against Women? Is that the name of the group or just the event? Either way, it's a joke, whether they intended it to be or not.

I just retired from the Navy. Over my two decades in the Navy, we had annual training in the following topics: Equal Opportunity, Suicide Prevention, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault Prevention, and later Bystander Intervention (ie you are your brother's keeper). There were other annual trainings too, but if the above are examples of "wokeness" then the military has been woke for decades now. The Right is just now catching on?
