‘He has never served a day in his life’: US space command official hits back at Tucker Carlson

A top military official at the United States Space Command has hit out at Tucker Carlson’s comments against women in the military, pointing out that the host has “never served a day in his life.”

Carlson, a right-wing host on Fox News who is known for his controversial statements, fielded significant criticism for his attack on Joe Biden’s remarks regarding efforts to diversify the armed forces on International Women’s Day.

During his remarks on Monday, Mr Biden discussed steps being taken to make the military more accessible to women, such as updating hairstyle requirements, tailoring combat uniforms for women, and creating maternity flight suits.

Carlson hit out at the provisions on Tuesday saying that allowing pregnant women to “fight wars” makes a “mockery of the US military.”
