Tucker Carlson-Military Spat Shows Left’s Long March Reaching Dangerous Apex

Is the military more focused on winning wars, or Wokeism?

Americans should not have to ask this question.

But on account of the doings of the Biden-led Department of Defense (DoD), Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was rightly compelled to proffer it. That he received any DoD response—and no less an almost parodic scolding, rather than an assurance that the military is singularly focused on crushing our enemies—demonstrates an existential problem for our country.

Carlson has done yeoman’s work in drawing attention to this perverse politicization, which can only have the effect of undermining morale and warping the military’s culture, causing dissension and disorder within its ranks, blinding America to the threats we face, and deterring the talented from joining—all ultimately weakening our national security and leading to the future loss of American lives.
