    I’m waiting for some mask-off conservative to make a “woke army” comment. I know there’s a few that want to, and they’re probably seething that they’re now unable to without looking (even more) like the chuds they are.

      Pollievre has been complaining that the military is “too woke” for years, this isn’t new.

      The only specific thing he can ever actually point to is the new hair regs, which he claims everyone hates. This is a flat out lie; the military fucking love the new grooming strandards. The only people who don’t are the crusty old warrants who are still mad that we dissolved the Airborne for all the heinous war crimes they did.

      What he wants to say is “The military is too woke because they let gays and trans people and women and non-white people in,” but he’s still got to keep that part slightly quiet. So this is what he goes with instead.
