From maternity flight suits to diversity policies to Ukraine aid, the military was a favorite punching bag for Tucker Carlson. Now that he’s off the air, some Pentagon officials are quietly cheering his departure.
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,” said one senior DoD official, who like others interviewed for this story was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive topic.
“Good riddance,” said a second DoD official.
Asked to respond to the news that DoD officials are pleased by his departure from Fox, Carlson responded by text message: “Ha! I’m sure.” He declined to comment further.
Wow.
Leadership in the military is out of touch with the people that will MAKE UP the military (as long as its all volunteer).
If they can't handle Carlson criticizing them then how are they gonna handle the Chinese sinking an aircraft carrier?
We're gonna get raped with a cactus in the next big fight. The bubbas in service right now don't even realize how fucked they are.
God bless them, its gonna be ugly.
