absolutely. thanks for writing this. my kid's a lt col in the pentagon. before that she flew b-2s. before that b-52s. before that, the academy. unless you've experienced that kind of pressure, unless you've managed hundreds or thousands of people in combat situations, unless you've done it pregnant, people like this idiot might want to keep their mouths shut.

Women have been serving in the military for a very long time, and a lot of them have died during it. Tucker Carlson is a coward, and he should have been taken off the TV a very long time ago.

I remember meeting a young female cadet in Heilbronn the summer before her last year at West Point.

She was the product of an incredible program of studies designed to determine the suitability of females to enter the military academies.

My favorite discovery was that women have more stamina than men.

Ever since that day 40+ years ago, I have applauded the decision that gave women an equal chance to serve and contribute and achieve 4-star rank.

Whenever competent leadership is required to lead corporations and nations, I say:

Put Mom in charge!

BTW, Fuck Tucker Carlson

Oh my gosh, I love your story! It reinforces how irrelevant Carlson is. We watched the tape earlier tonight, and he looks just so silly. I think we should ignore him. Ignore all the jerks, from trump, graham, McConnell, I could go on, but I have no doubt... Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, again, I could go on. But you know exactly who I mean. And for the first time since I watched a Disney movie when I was a peanut and I just know that everything was going to be fine in the end!

Tucker, who used to dress like Orville Redenbacher, is a dweeb, a teenie weenie, and just an overall fucker.

Tucker Carlson has no more sense of responsibility for the damaga he does than a 12 year old boy playing war games on his games console. He looks slightly post teenage years with gray hair, wrinkles and the same juvenile sense of humor that embraces slime and bullying boogars and nascent sarcasm turned evil, probably because he was bullied I suspect. And there's just a whole lot of money in being nasty for a living these days.

Your description of the road and the terrain brought back memories.

There was a road from Plei Mrong to Pleiku that we had to use in the rainy season when supplies couldn't be flown or dropped into our A-Det. To convoy on that kind of road, would be to appreciate why Vietnam was an air war. Walking those 25 miles would have been a whole lot safer. If the female soldiers you encountered traveled a road of that kind regularly, they were surely the real deal.

Haven't been there ? Then shut the hell up

ABSOLUTELY. You should send this to his idiotic employers. Carlson brings Zilch to the table and runs his mouth with diarrhea. Fox should have its license revoked for airing incendiary, subversive lies.

Regarding your first sentence, I don’t believe he ever did learn them.... Wasn’t mandatory.

Tucker Carlson has styled himself for Fox and gotten as nasty and mean and wrong as can be to earn his keep. He denies shouting...always. The best summary of his career and how he has changed himself to fit what's profitable--though he hardly needs the money--is in a Columbia Journalism Review interview. I'll get the link.

He never been very smart. And he's avoided the military. His bosses must be dolts as well. He's toweringly arrogant, which I suppose it makes him seem intelligent to republicans.

Cast Iron Skillet is perfect for Tuck’ round flat little face. And you can break a golf club, but not a cast iron skillet.

I was thinking golf club, but either works for me
