“The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at President Donald Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event at the White House, and requiring those who attend to pay for their travel and meet height and weight requirements” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Bullying journalists is more American than apple pie, baseball, and driving your car with the AC on and the windows down. What this insufferable civilization killing shrew doesn’t understand is that her words are poison to the United States military. What she also fails to tell you about are all the other women across services getting promoted to flag rank. But she won’t tell you that because it’s inconvenient to her midwit narrative. Here’s a little history lesson about why merit isn’t some abstract goal that some people like and others don’t. It is NECESSARY to preserving civilization itself. A civilization can spend years smothering excellence under layers of ideology. Then one day the ceiling caves in all at once. That is what @PeteHegseth understands and the DEI priesthood does not. The people screeching about “equity” think this is just another political knife fight. Just another turn of the wheel. They think standards are social constructs and institutions are toys that can be bent around ideology forever without consequence. But history says otherwise. George Washington spent years trying to earn a royal commission. He fought for the British. Fought and bled for them. Then built formations the British themselves respected immensely (the Virginia Militia). None of it mattered enough to penetrate the arrogance of a system that had started rewarding class and proximity over raw ability. The empire looked at a dangerous man and saw a provincial, a mere colonist. That was THE most expensive personnel mistake in human history. This is the eternal pattern. Once institutions stop rewarding merit, they stop attracting loyal excellence. Honor sours and ambition detaches from the state. The people strongest enough to save the institution begin quietly calculating whether it deserves to be saved. The fools always think the danger comes from men with standards. NO! It comes from institutions that mock them. The purpose of merit isn’t fairness. Nature doesn’t give a damn about fairness. Merit is survival. It is the mechanism that convinces talented and ambitious people to build civilizations instead of turning against the people strangling them. What these people do not understand is that eventually a society produces someone with a critical mass of intelligence, ambition, discipline, and honor that cannot be contained forever by mediocrity, corruption, and ideological gatekeeping. George Washington was not born wanting revolution. He wanted recognition, advancement and a path upward through merit and service. Then one day they discovered they had not insulted a man. They had insulted a force. That is the danger of arrogant systems. They mistake honorable people for obedient people. They assume talent will tolerate humiliation forever. They think ambition can be endlessly chained down without consequence. IT CAN’T. Eventually pressure becomes heat. Heat becomes rupture. Then the same ruling class that spent years mocking standards and walling off advancement suddenly stares in disbelief as the foundations begin to shake beneath them. So yes, Hegseth is bringing back merit. Sometimes women get promoted, sometimes not. Same with men. What do you care anyway? You can’t even define what a woman even is. Stop dividing us. Or we will continue to stuff you into the digital locker of consequences like the divisive geek you are.
