    “The military was never intended to be, you know, inclusive. Its strength is not its diversity. Its strength is its standards”

    Ah, yeah he’s a racist piece of shit. And also, unsurprisingly, 100% wrong. Speaking as a veteran (US), the diversity of our military is a HUGE source of its strength. This dumbass is literally advocating for weakening our military for the sake of being racist.

    That’s not just stupid, that’s dangerous stupid.
