The @DeptofDefense "pride" event last week gets more bizarre with scrutiny.

Thread:

1. Here, LTG Burt openly admits she lets supposed concerns over "anti-LGBTQ+ laws in a state" about "healthcare" dictate personnel choices, even if it means choosing a less-qualified officer.

2. Consider the range of euphemisms. As @MaryMargOlohan noted, this rhetoric is from the playbook of radical gender ideology. For the @SpaceForceDoD, to prevent chemical and physical castration of children is to deny a child "critical healthcare."

3. This has to be a Hatch Act violation. At a @DeptofDefense event, a uniformed officer opines on laws passed by duly-elected state legislatures. Not that I expect law enforcement action...

4. We're in a dark place when Generals start weighing in on state laws to protect children. What are the implications of "national security concerns"? What does LTG Burt want @SpaceForceDoD to do about this?

5. The service-wide recruiting crisis reveals a fundamental distrust between civilians and our military. If the @DeptofDefense aligns themselves with a progressive social agenda, we will cross a chasm into legitimate social breakdown.

This speech at this official @DeptofDefense event reveals it might be too late.

This is why @SenTuberville holding Pentagon nominees is so important. The Senate confirmed LTG Burt for promotion three times. It’s about time conservatives add a modicum of scrutiny to the Generals leading the joint force.
