A Marine Corps Twitter account over the weekend lashed out at a civilian that suggested the service focus on China and not Tucker Carlson, then later apologized for the tweet after it received widespread scrutiny.
The move came after Carlson delivered a monologue last week commenting that China was focusing on making its young men more masculine, while President Joe Biden was focusing on reforms to make the military more accommodating to women, such as maternity flight suits.
Progressives in the military expressed anger over those comments, claiming Carlson was attacking women in the military.
Military commanders and senior enlisted leaders began commenting on Twitter en masse, slamming Carlson’s comments and speaking about the importance of women in the military.
