? Why is there an endless stream of this crap coming out of official DoD social media accounts? When did it become OK for some pencil pushing flunky manning a DoD Twitter account to get into arguments with & insult the public?
I remember seeing a female sea bee in Afghanistan as they were building a road to connect cities in Helmand. She was the only one we had seen in a long time. She was really pretty. She wasn’t around long because she went home pregnant. Not taking a stance, just telling a story.
I can’t believe I’m reading this. What happened to our Marine Corps? You know...the silent professionals? After 20 years of service in the USMC...I am embarrassed. This Marine needs to be handing out basketballs at the gym for the rest of their enlistment. - MSgt Swarr
We should all be embarrassed that official government accounts are pushing out this kind of childish nonsense. If this had happened during the previous administration, it would have been the top story on cable news for a week.
As a II MEF COMBAT veteran, I am embarrassed for whomever runs their social media. Marines are supposed to have alligator skin. We are to address those we serve, including
Lived in a military town. Know many female military personnel from all branches. They put them on a simple assignment during pregnancy. You make it sound like 7 month pregnant women are on the front line fighting terrorism. Nope
Come back when you have to bite your tongue while a Chief brags about a 15 year career where she has never deployed by timing her pregnancies for every work up.
While at the same time father's deploy and die never having seen their child.
George Washington and the other framers would be appalled at you, the military, trying to shut down the civilians questioning military policy as they thought the military should be civilian controlled.
I have.
And Tucker's point was that the priority should always be mission first — and the current administration is telegraphing a very different set of priorities.
At no point did he say that pregnant women shouldn't serve or couldn't serve honorably.
We are human and that tweet was intended to support our female warfighters. We can do better and we will collectively take a knee, review our procedures, and get back in the fight. Our focus is to train, fight, and win.
III MEF account.
I find it repulsive that Biden talked about maternity uniforms when honoring 2 females promotion to General. And you're offended over Tucker for calling out absurd comments at a promotion?

One mustn’t serve this great country to realize and opine, correctly I might add, that your time is better served protecting this country than taking on a talk show host. Especially when that talk show host is correct.
I mean, cmon, maternity flight suits?? There a big demand?
Our military is focused on a talk show host’s opinions, and not on our enemies. Glad I got out. Back in 2012 I could see where the military was going, just didn’t think it would get this crazy and stupid enough to go after journalists with a good or bad opinion.
