"Just imagine how all these right-wingers would have reacted with horror if they had been around when Harry Truman desegregated the military," Washington Post columnist Max Bootwrote on Twitter. "Now that was woke!"
Boot's racially charged comment came in response to a New York Post op-ed written by Jason Church, a retired U.S. Army captain. Church argued that our military should focus more on preparing for armed conflict with bad actors around the world and less on embracing the "diversity, equity, and inclusion" ethos of government bureaucrats.
"The Navy is producing instructional videos on gender pronouns while its poorly maintained ships crash at sea," wrote Church, citing a Washington Free Beacon report. He also suggested—quite reasonably—that lowering the military's physical fitness standards in the name of "inclusivity" was not a good thing. Other changes designed to make the military more "woke," Church argued, have "weakened training, lowered morale," and "diminish[ed] the fighting spirit, cohesiveness, and reputation of America's Armed Forces."
"With respect to MaxBoot, this is beneath you and the Post," Church wrote. "We are right to be worried about politicizing the military and VeteransOnDuty will voice these concerns. Smugly dismissing this as bigotry is cheap and wrong."
Church, who joined the Army in 2011 and received a Purple Heart in Afghanistan, is the chairman of Veterans on Duty, a national membership organization dedicated to "exposing how the woke revolution in the services works" and compelling the military to "get back to basics" by electing like-minded policymakers.
Jeremy C. Hunt, a black Army veteran and member of the Veterans on Duty board, also blasted Boot. "We care about a military that wins," he wrote in response to Boot's tweet. "If you want an example of modern segregation in the military, look no further than the Biden administration's racist [diversity, equity, and inclusion] protocols that you defend."
On Sunday, Boot defended Biden's meeting with bone-saw dictator Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, whom the president once pledged to make a "pariah" until flip-flopping as soon as rising gas prices threatened Democratic prospects in the midterm elections.
“We care about a military that wins....”
Yeah, right. I call BS.
Better yet, allow a response:
“How else to explain insisting on dumping 252,000 soldiers who refuse to be vaccinated while finding it more difficult to wrangle new recruits. Most Americans do not realize that Ukraine’s Army at the start of Russia’s Special Military Operation was larger than the U.S. Army. But don’t worry, I am sure that Russian Generals are shivering with fear over the prospect of being attacked by purple haired transgender battalions.”

Just look at how pissed the liberals are that Republicans fought and died to ensure the end of slavery. The liberals have been on a rampage of revenge ever since.
Agreed.
And my response was not to blast Hunt or others - it was mainly directed at the Leftist DEMs, BootIdiot, etc. and their continued pursuit of utterly wrecking the military. I should have clarified that in my initial post. My bad.
Max Boot is from Russia. As James Bond put it in the Living Daylights, “give him the boot” and send him back there with his mouthy macho.
Max Boot provides another reminder of how lucky we are the Bushies have been squeezed out of DC.
No worries, I was just commenting in general to the ststement in The article “”Just imagine how all these right-wingers would have reacted with horror if they had been around when Harry Truman desegregated the military,”: it wasn’t in response to your comment. Sorry for confusion.
Max Boot is a Canuck chickenhawk. He never served and he’s not even an American.
Maybe the little Commie bitch would like to say that to my face. I’d like for him to. Semper Fi.
Jeremy C. Hunt, a black Army veteran : “We care about a military that wins....”
“Yeah, right. I call BS.”
Why do you call Hunt’s response “BS”?
Boot was born in Moscow
Just imagine how all these left-wingers would have reacted with horror if they had been around when the democrats segregated the military,”
Continental army had black troops
1812 army had black troops
Indian war army had black troops
Civil war union army had black troops
Spanish American war had black troops
The dems got segregation finally in 1896 (Plessy v. Ferguson)
Segregation was a dem /Jim Crow creation.
The democrates are the culprits.
They Just blame the right and get away with it.
Our military was NEVER segregated till the democrates got the Supreme Court to-do what they couldn’t get the people and Congress to do.
Spit.
[[and get away with it.]]
Yup. They are the most blatant transparent liars, yet they get away with their lies over and over.
I have conservative friends, actually all my friends are either conservatives or conservative libertarians, I discriminate, that used to send me articles written by or supposedly written by Mr. Boot. I have always thought there was something just not right with his articles, I couldn’t put my finger on what exactly he did that made me look at his work with a jaundiced eye.
It all started coming together for me about the time the faux conservative syndicated radio host, Michael Medved took two additional right turns to the so called right turn he made into a book that documented his journey from being a liberal to a “conservative.” Max Boot had been a perennial guest on his show along with another reprobate, David Brooks.
When Medved said he would not vote for Trump in 2016 and actually endorsed Biden in 2020 the wrappers came off Boot, Brooks, Medved and the rest of the assistant dimocRAT’s.
Medved still has a show on his flagship station in Seattle, I think he’s an original investor. However, it’s interesting to watch, the station KTTH runs conservatives in their lineup, local talent in the mornings and afternoon, Bongino at 9-12. However, none of the conservatives cross advertise Medved and Medved never appears on their shows. He does do guest segments on a liberal station.
DJT made these charlatans show us their true colors, it’s up to us now to purge them from our political landscapes. From what I’m seeing we’re doing exactly that.
You can change the name, but not the makeup of a person I guess. 🙂
Yep. Birds of a feather . . . And you can be sure “Boot” is not his original surname.
Hunt, a black veteran agrees wuth you. Not sure why you are calling his remark bs
Apparently, you seriously fail at reading?
Look at my post 4 for clarification or guidance since again, you stopped at what I said and made comment without reading further?!
And you fail at reading too..............
