Let's not forget.... In 1948, women were officially recognized as full members of the armed forces. The sentiment was no different than TC's comments... that women in the military would be a mockery of the US military.
The US military survived/evolved.
The US military adopted new hair regulations for women.
The US military adopted new uniforms for women.
The US military was just as strong if not stronger with service women.
The US military wasn't "mocked".
Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan proved that.
I have and I’m not a fan of Maddow. I am apparently not the only female on the planet upset with TC
So what part exactly upset you? He was saying how the Chinese are basically pulling ahead with their Navy and we're worried about Flight suits for women that are pregnant.
It just seems that for the military to be leading with hair style for women and flight suits, while they have merit and a purpose just doesn't seem like what the primary focus should be on. It just sorta seems like we're missing the bigger point here. We're worried about things that again, have some merit, shouldn't be as front and center as it is.
He's making that point, he wasn't crapping on women in the military, he wasn't being misogynistic or downplaying the role of women.
He's pointing out that China doesn't do this sort of thing, unlike us.
Go watch the vid. You can find easily on the Internet. Go see for yourself what he said specifically and in the context of the rest of his comments in that segment and stand back, take away your biases and see if he was truly insulting to the women in the military.
Every day I have to marvel at what the billionaires and FOX News pulled off. They got working whites to hate the very people that want them to have more pay, clean air, water, free healthcare and the power to fight back against big banks & big corps. It’s truly remarkable.
John Ehrlichman, who partnered with Fox News cofounder Roger Ailes on the Republicans' "Southern Strategy":[indent][We] had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.
We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
"He was the premier guy in the business," says former Reagan campaign manager Ed Rollins. "He was our Michelangelo."
Ailes repackaged Richard Nixon for television in 1968, papered over Ronald Reagan’s budding Alzheimer’s in 1984, shamelessly stoked racial fears to elect George H.W. Bush in 1988, and waged a secret campaign on behalf of Big Tobacco to derail health care reform in 1993.
Hillarycare was to have been funded, in part, by a $1-a-pack tax on cigarettes. To block the proposal, Big Tobacco paid Ailes to produce ads highlighting “real people affected by taxes.”

Republican "Southern Strategy":Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters by appealing to racism against African Americans.
Lyndon Johnson in 1960: If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-04e10106ff6c/
Steve Bannon bragging about using these tactics:the power of what he called “rootless white males” who spend all their time online and they could be radicalized in a kind of populist, nationalist way

Fox news own attorneys' defense for lawsuits against Tucker Carlson is that he lies!

The Court concludes that the statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate, and, as such, are not actionable as defamation.
When was the last time you served your country by
serving in military combat? Keyboard warrior does not count....
I respect her service but absolutely do not respect her work as a senator in Illinois. I know Marines who are fed up with her even though they voted for her. My opinion counts just as much as hers.
