The United States military has gone soft. You see it. I see it. The enemies of America can obviously see it. Everyone seems to see it except for the very people who can change it. If they did see it and they were willing to change it, what should the focus be? Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene might have a good place to start.
Speaking with Graham Allen--who is no stranger to how the military works--MTG pointed out that the military has all but banned toxic masculinity from entering the ranks, and that is a lot of our problem. (h/t BPR)
Greene's onto something. If you were going to think of the best way to create the perfect can o' whoop-ass, you'd probably pack as many type-A personality-having dudes jacked up on Red Bulls (or, as my army veterans will remember, Rip Its) as you possibly could. You wouldn't want a loosely packed crate of gender non-conforming queer-boys with aversions to gluten and soft-spoken, pacifist personalities. Those guys will lose every time.
But that's "toxic" these days, and the military is more concerned with creating safe spaces for feelings to be expressed than creating a feared fighting force capable of violently destroying our enemies and breaking their sh*t, which is strange because that's the entire job of the military. Remember this cringy recruiting commercial?
