Question of the Day By Ben Wolfgang - The Washington Times - Monday, March 15, 2021
The Pentagon’s slow drift into the political mudslinging of Washington may be accelerating under President Biden, with the military’s unusually aggressive attack on a conservative Fox News critic sparking a backlash from conservatives on Capitol Hill and threatening to drag the Defense Department into a broader culture war.
Retired officers and defense analysts say the Pentagon’s decision to go toe-to-toe with Fox News host Tucker Carlson last week has created an entirely avoidable political controversy the kind of controversy that the military has traditionally tried to float above, no matter which party controls the White House.

Senator Cruz demands the military stop threatening Tucker
Senator Ted Cruz responded today to the threats against Tucker Carlson who expressed his views about our new WOKE military on his show. He blasted them and demands it stop, but where are the rest of the Republicans?
Some inappropriate and menacing tweets were sent out by military brass and the latest is serious. It’s threatening.
The Command Senior Enlisted Leader of the U.S. Space Command, the Sgt. Major of the Army, the Commanding General of the US Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, and the commanding officer of the II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group all engaged in coordinated attacks against Tucker. [These are political henchmen]
they admitted We are human and we messed up.
We are human and we messed up. What was intended as a tweet in support of our female Marines and sisters serving in uniform was clearly not aligned with our standard practices or an appropriate representation of the Marine Corps. We will do better and serve the people. II MEF Information Group (@iimigofficial) March 13, 2021
We’ve strayed away from our brand and realize that. Our standard practices will be in effect and you can count on us to correct our mistake going forward. II MEF Information Group (@iimigofficial) March 13, 2021
Also slamming Carlson was Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, who said What we absolutely don t do is take personnel advice from a talk show host.
