The point he was making, which has been lost in the blind outrage, has very little to do with the capacity to which women are serving in the military. The point he was making was our military is becoming politicized to the detriment of readiness. There’s a lot of jobs women can do but should we abandon meritocracy for equity? Most women struggle with the gender neutral ACFT, a fitness test used to determine combat-related physical capabilities, as just one example.
The DoD just ran another simulation of a military engagement with China over Taiwan, and we lost badly. We are so concerned with mandatory online training and EO/SHARP briefings that we no longer have a focus on actual war fighting according to the GAO and several IGs. The military has become such a bureaucracy that it’s incredibly difficult for units to get ammo and training areas, again resulting in reduced combat effectiveness and readiness. Just look at the 10th Mtn CQB video. Not one person stopped training at any one of the dozen safety violations, and they failed in even the most basic of room clearing techniques.
Meanwhile China, Russia, and Iran are training had to annihilate us and our allies, and they’ll succeed because we’re more concerned about diversity and inclusion than closing with and destroying the enemy at any cost.
Sure Tucker Carlson is a media blowhard who framed his argument much better in his response to the misguided outrage mob. We lost two wars to insurgents, surrendered to a third, and we expect to win against a hegemonic power worrying more about braids, gender dysphoria, and mean words in an op-ed... the simulations aren’t wrong and Tucker isn’t far off either

So what’s the difference between that and a 5’5 130 pound male having to do the same thing. I am trying to understand your logic Sarge if you’re worried about a smaller woman not being able to carry you shouldn’t you also be worried about a smaller guy being able to carry you as well.

PFC (Join to see) first, it’s Sergeant, private. I understand reserve POG units aren’t real big on discipline and military bearing, but pretend you’re on a military social media site and your actions could have potential consequences.
Now to your response. Yes, I’m concerned about those guys too and they have to show me they can perform their job as an infantryman or I find them a new home, like HQ PLT or an S shop. I like assigning my little guys to the gun teams because everything is heavy and it’s physically demanding. If they can succeed and excel there, I have no doubts as to their ability to pull my biggest guy out of a burning vehicle or carry him to an evac site. The PL in question could barely carry her issue gear and was generally terrible at her job. She was put there for diversity and equity, not merit, which is exactly what Tucker was talking about. Thankfully, saner minds prevailed and she was moved to an S shop in a position more befitting her abilities.
I understand the difference between IT and infantry is substantial and the physical demands of the latter may not be fully realized. You can have equity in your job and it affects very little. Equity without merit in the infantry gets people killed

Firstly I am out so consequences don’t apply to me. Secondly I apologize if that offended you. Thirdly I wonder if you let the solder prove themselves first before you moved them to the S shop. If you don’t give them the chance to succeed, then you’re hindering the mental development of the soldier because they won’t always be protected. If that soldier deploys there going to expect them to be able to conduct and handle themselves like any other infantry soldier. SFC Benjamin Varlese

PFC (Join to see) you obviously didn’t read my previous response. Had you done so it would have answered your question.
Second, I’m not offended, I only said something because it’s about respect.

Way to intentionally distort the facts to pander to your audience, Mr. Tucker.
Then again, you aren’t known to be factual either. It’s all part of your grift, really.

You completely missed the point of where he was going with his commentary. Might I suggest that you scroll down a few people and you’ll actually get an idea of what he was talking about. Buttface Biden himself says that the military needs to be more feminine and yet you’re going to complain about what Carlson said? Wow
