#1 USAA is likely to comply with the CANCEL. They've been trending WOKE for years.

Vets groups? I believe they are referring to the Army LTC Alexander Vindman crowd.

#2 I seriously doubt there are many veterans that support the nonsense Milley was speaking and any veterans that are part of an association getting involved in this should reconsider their association.

#3 Over at Insty - this.

What you get when you reduce promotion to box check equity for everyone. You know we've been in a war for 20 years. War is what an army exists for. Promotion should have been by demonstrated abilities on the battlefield not box checking. It's not fair, but neither is war.

#4 The U.S. military hasn't been required to win a war since WWII. There's too much money and prestige in peace-processing.

Never mind that long, low-intensity conflicts and up killing more than short, high-intensity conflicts. Never mind that the people supposedly representing our interests overseas find themselves enriched by keeping tyrants and monsters in power.

How is that not fair? I thought the military was for killing people and breaking things so it's only natural that the baddest of the bad-asses get to lead.

And I would bet that any insurance companies that cancel Tucker will find the majority of veterans cancelling their policies.

#7 "veterans"?

Not likel the huffnpuff makes it look. Its just a few of the usual suspects. Mainly a few blue checked hardcore anti-trump liberals on Tweeter, and the usual left-wing "veteran" groups.

Huffnpuff is being misleading as usual.
