TUCKER CARLSON: So we've got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits. Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It's a mockery of the US military. While China's military becomes more masculine as it's assembled the world's largest Navy, our military needs to become, as Joe Biden says, more feminine. Whatever feminine means anymore, since men and women no longer exist.

The bottom line is, it's out of control. And the Pentagon is going along with this. Again, this is a mockery of the US military and its core mission, which is winning wars. One of the few people who's been paying attention to this is someone who served in the US military, Indiana Congressman Jim Banks.
