Senior ranking officials within President Joe Biden’s Department of Defense who spoke on condition of anonymity were reportedly filled with “delight and outright glee” at Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News, according to Politico.
Carlson’s segments on Tucker Carlson Tonight frequently criticized the upper ranks of the U.S. military for being “woke.”
“What if the woke brain virus began to infect the last remaining meritocracy in this country, the bedrock guarantee of our safety and our freedom? That’s the U.S. military. If that happened, it would be a legitimate disaster,” Carlson said in one program:
Tucker Carlson: What if the ‘Woke Brain Virus’ Began to Infect the Military?
. . . CARLSON: Again, Joe Biden isn’t even bothering to try to convince you that he is choosing the most competent people for key jobs. Instead, he is telling you what they look like. Their appearance is what matters. It’s all that matters. So it turns out your mother was wrong. You can judge a book by its cover. In fact, you’re now required to. What are the consequences of this kind of thinking? Over time, identity politics will destroy our country. No nation can remain unified for long if people are encouraged to think of themselves as members of competing ethnic groups, first; and citizens, second. Countries need a reason to hang together. Unity doesn’t happen by accident. The fixation on race that has seized leadership class guarantees disunity – – permanent disunity. It’s terrifying if you think about it. But actually, it could be worse than that. What if the woke brain virus began to infect the last remaining meritocracy in this country, the bedrock guarantee of our safety and our freedom? That’s the U.S. military. If that happened, it would be a legitimate disaster. . . . . (read more)
As Politico reported:
Carlson’s criticism of Biden-era personnel policies appealed to many of the rank-and-file, which has a large bloc of conservative members. But at the upper levels of the Defense Department, news of Carlson’s firing from Fox News on Monday was met with delight and outright glee in some corners.
“We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” one senior Defense Department official told the outlet.
“Good riddance,” a second official told Politico.
Carlson was not surprised by the senior DOD officials, telling Politico, “Ha! I’m sure.”
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance (R) accused the officials who spoke with Politico of being cowards for “hiding behind anonymity.” . . . . (read more on Breitbart News)

I can’t over state the embarrassment the Pentagon is bringing on itself by blaming Tucker Carlson for their problems. They are literally proving his point about the failures of the Pentagon senior leaders.

This makes the military look petty and conniving. It also implies that the power of the nations military only serves one political view and party. That sort of poisonous impression is specifically why these officials took the smarmy route they did here. Very bad move.

The fact that many of Tucker’s criticisms of the DoD appealed more to the “rank and file” troops while angering the Pentagon elite that contributed to 20+ years of foreign policy failure is further affirmation that Tucker was right over target. https://t.co/vOhgI5iIzt

Probably same senior pentagon officials who illegally forced service members to take an unnecessary vaccine, wasted time investigating “white rage” while abandoning Americans in war-torn countries and have now bottomed out recruitment of the all volunteer force. https://t.co/Z2MPO8kNbB

The departure of Tucker Carlson has brought the Blob’s interests into the open (American Conservative)
. . . . Consider a couple of eye-opening things. Nowhere is Carlson factually wrong. It is a fact that the DoD, once a bastion of purest patriotic meritocracy, has now turned to a social club and is inordinately interested in a gynarchic culture, from prioritizing pregnant air warriors (a ridiculous and uncivil idea on its face) to “diversity officers” talking about “abolishing whiteness” and “caudacity” without any repercussion.
The leadership and elite prioritize top-down and often revolutionary LGBT policies, “abortion rights,” and trans issues including tax-funded sex-change operations, while rank-and-file soldiers are increasingly disillusioned about both radical social changes at home and constant social engineering abroad.
Amidst the constant outcry about declining military recruitment, no one has pointed out the most obvious reasons that hard patriotic men are not queuing up to war for their country anymore: first, they don’t recognize the value of their country or their country’s military policy, and, second, they are disillusioned and uninterested in fighting for a revolutionary force whose values are increasingly at odds with their own.
Carlson is clearly hated by a section of the brass precisely because he pointed that uncomfortable fact out. . . .
In the wake of Tucker Carlson’s firing, Pentagon officials disgrace themselves (American Thinker)
One of the worst things that’s happened in America since Obama began his presidency is that the Pentagon began to abandon its constitutional non-partisan and apolitical stance. This dangerous trend revealed itself again today as Pentagon officials, hiding behind anonymity, gloated to Politico about Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox. . . .

. . .According to Bennett, Carlson posed too much of a threat to institutional power because he turned Americans into proper “researchers and thinkers”. Carlson offered an “intellectualism, truthfulness, and an analytical depth that no other news personality has ever done in the history of the United States as far back as I can remember,” said Bennett. Tucker needed to be “silenced” because he represented too big a threat to the “powers and principalities, institutions and agendas that seek an unenlightened uninformed semi lobotomized quasi retarded population that do not question, do not research, do not analyze but simply digest and follow instructions,” according to Bennett. . . .
