I don't know why you need a military task force to monitor genitals
"Maybe if I'm an even bigger, sadder bitch, then they'll all tell me how great I am."
You mean political officers? Like we see on the tvs in all Russia subs...
I am interested to see their written definition of "woke".
Didn't DeSantis (or his lawyer anyway) define it as 'knowing there are systemic injustices and wanting to address them' or something like it? I found it funny when I read that. Back when I was still on reddit, there was of course a huge SelfAwarewolves post about it.
“something im afraid of, and/or something i don’t understand”
There won't be one. It'll be a commissariat type situation that completely fucks our military for decades.
You know there won't be one, and this is just a vehicle to do military purges, right?
Some conservative tried explaining it and I recall she basically settled it being defined as critical thinking.
Sooooo... A task force of racists?
How dare you. They'll also be sexist and homophobic. And xenophobic. And aporophobic. And transphobic.
We need a new word for people with all the phobias. Bigot has lost its oomph, the pizaz, the gravitas.
You don't have enough of that.
Yeah, cause our fucking military is too woke. Stfu.
That's a line they actually use. They usually pair it with pictures of combat soldiers partying in My Little Pony costumes.
They forget that those same guys would annihilate their backwoods militia before lunch if it came down to a fight.
I didn't use to be able to decode narcissism at a glance, but basically he's mad that Mad Dog Mattis and his colleagues didn't bend the knee.
Honestly I have never been so accepting of the armed forces as when Mattis openly shunned Trump.
Not just Mattis. He tried to order the active duty military to go after protestors in D.C. They reminded him of their oath and the Posse Comitatus Act. At volume. In the Oval Office. Then they released a force wide memo reminding everyone their oath was to the Constitution, not the President.
He's never forgiven the military for that.
Yes. Despite all my deep resentments about our war-like ways, they earned a measure of respect for that.
The military has a lot of bad things. But they are loyal to their own moral code. For an organization mostly made of people who wandered in from the street desperate for money or glory, I think that's pretty neat.
Most of the bad shit they've done, has been because idiots outside of uniform thought it was politically helpful to them.
We need to stop ordering them to do bad shit and actually try to think before we send them places.
Tell me how this isn’t fascism again ?
Cause when Republicans do the fascism, it's not fascism, it's just conservative values.
It's only called fascism when it's from the fascist region. Otherwise, it's sparkling conservatism.

Great plan… use diversity training as a tool to identify generals who might not be loyal, purge them and put stooges in place. This has worked out really well for Russias military.
This working out great for the Russian military could be the reason behind the plan.
Can you fucking imagine clocking into work at the Anti-woke Task Force office? Wearing an Anti-woke Task Force uniform??!!
This might be my halloween costume...
If it's an Anti-woke uniform I imagine it'll have a vinyl window over the crotch so everyone can see that you're going into the bathroom that matches your genitalia. And of course it'll have a flame thrower so you can burn all the books. You'll probably need the skin color chart from Family Guy; better add grey and green on there to identify the extra-terrestrial aliens. Don't forget your shoes must have heels because all the best Anti-woke crusaders wear heels!
Hmm, what else...
Sexy anti-woke task force officer?
So very Gestapo of him.
A dystopian nanny state. www.vote.gov
Monitor genitals*
I read it that way too..... honestly wouldn't surprise me in the least if he did say genitals
Operation Generals Genital General Inspection for Operations is a go.
Handmaids tale, where we come
Is this just him saying he wants to reinstate DADT, but with extra steps?
The US military has specifically benefited from diversity and inclusivity programs in recent years. The actual size of the US military force is comparatively smaller than in the past, and being more inclusive has benefited the institution in the concrete way of just having a larger number of potential enlistees to pull from.
I'm all for reducing the size of the US military, but to be clear that's the only effect this will have.
No.
It’s private bone spurs being big tough guy for the MAGATs. It means nothing, it is nothing, but if everything goes to fucking shit again one of his evil toadies might try some ignorant loyalty-test bullshit to fuck up the military, yeah.
incoherent nonsequiturs but some people earnest believe and intend to implement it. this is the exact definition of skibidi
