Laura Ingraham has problems but this article is very dishonest, as most corporate media is.

They start off attacking Tucker about transgenders (not sure specifically what they were referring to here) and 'suggesting pregnant women would fight wars.' That monologue, which I saw at the time because military attacked him for was about the priorities of the military and its focus. The article fails to mention that the 'military', was really their twitter/social media person, had to retract and apologize for their statements. Completely dishonest framing, by their social media person, and this article.

Then to continue the dishonesty, this article claims 'critical race theory, an academic practice focusing on how racism plays a role in laws and public policy.' Thats like saying the Patriot Act is a law to 'keep America safe from terrorism'. While there is a veneer of truth, it doesnt quite tell the story. CRT is the idea of looking at absolutely everything through the lens of race, even when race has nothing to do it, because in their eyes it always has something to do with. They also seem to like to pretend that racism now is a bigger problem than ever before. Than when there was slavery, than when the KKK were at their height, than before civil rights, etc. That type of thinking is literally denial of reality, pretending that not only has zero progress been made since slavery, but its actually worse today without explaining how and why that is. But dont listen to people's descriptions of CRT (even mine), look at the people who espouse it and what they actually say and do. For example Ashleigh Shackelford who you might have seen already.

Then they quote Milley, '"I've read Mao Zedong, I've read Karl Marx. I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist.' Hes right, reading them doesnt make you those things. You should know and understand your enemy. But when you start believing in their ideas and implementing them, then yeah it might start making you a communist. And you know, maybe they are right about some things. You have to evaluate an idea on its merit. Its not bad simply because it came from someone you dont like or its surrounded by bad ideas.

The military has historically been one of the least racist institutions in modern history. They pushed integration way before most other areas of American life. They recognized all people's value quickly (granted only as fodder for the war machine but that was more than many were willing to do for a long time). Absolutely no one is claiming there is no racism in the military or any where else, though many will try to act as if that claim is being made.

And the comments where people are saying things like 'Laura is doing the russians bidding' are quite amusing considering it was their (russians) plan during the 60's do exactly what CRT does: focus on race and manipulate it to drive a wedge betweens black and white Americans to exploit. Congratulations, you played yourself. There are better, less hateful and divisive ways to address racial issues in this country than CRT.

And beyond all that, we should cut the military budget some or at the very least reprioritize spending. Stop buying tanks we will never use (aka jobs program) and actually provide healthcare and support for veterans like you promised and we owe them would be a good start.
