If you can't handle someone calling you the "wrong pronoun" maybe the military isn't the best career option for you.
People used to deal with their personal issues privately and in therapy but now SCHOOLS train people to make all their identity issues amplified and public and an interpersonal social issue. I have seen this in Uni they train everybody to complain about their personal identity. It is clearly damaging to individuals and even not good for the military. Look at the count of comments 200+ I can only see about 14 of them.
We are getting soft. Pay close attention because the opposition is. China and Russia are watching closely.
If someone is willing to die FOR YOU, .........YOU should call them whatever the fuck they want YOU to call them!
You got that right.
Facts.
As a veteran he lied right off the bat when he said the army takes the care of its individuals seriously
@@Plisken65 thank you I didn't catch it
You get TriCare, subsidized housing, subsidized childcare, tax free commissary and exchange, college tuition assistance..
It’s a commies wet dream. The Us Military is a welfare state.
The military is the perfect socialist/communist example. The government owns you. Everything you have is paid for and it sucks. Healthcare is free but they just give you ibuprofen. And if you don't do what they say you go to jail.
@@xXPremiumBeefXx now give me 10!
Yes he did
Sen. Josh Hawley is so respectful. He doesn't fluff his questions, nor does he let folks on the other side gaslight, lie or bs when answering questions!
Watch the whole video. Pronouns are not a real problem. It's not a real policy. Hawley is attacking nothingness.
You forgot to meantion traitor COWARD!
@@geki9063that’s not what I understood this as. He had a concern that is likely shared by his constituents and respectfully addressed it to figure out what was going on. Something like this is subversive to good order and needs to be investigated, which he did.
So let me get this straight: An instructor yelling in your face that you're a maggot and ain't worth crap while you're giving him 120 pushups is acceptable. Showing highest levels of discipline and obeying every word they say isn't an issue, but calling you a woman/man is crossing the line... and yet the same people are pushing the US army into every possible battlefield they create themselves
I support the pronoun of "maggot" for all military recruits. 😂
Watch the whole video. It's not a real problem. It's not a real policy.
@@spruceandhemlock LOL, as a U.S. Army retiree, I support the use of "maggot" as a pronoun. Actually, it's pretty mild compared to what they were using at Fort Benning in '91. And even then I had to struggle to keep the straight/fearful face (Even while more focused on not laughing) while the Drill Sergeant tore into us for no reason other than it was his (Am I supposed to call him a "maggot" now, or say "they" in place of "his?" So confusing) job to weed out the Twinks.
Wow what an intelligent, caring and straight-talking American: a true patriot and citizen worthy of this Canadian's respect. Very well-spoken and delivered as well.
@@marekvollach7831 Noone cares about canadian respect
This is why the military is facing a recruiting crisis. Who on earth would want to join when THIS is how their leadership acts?!
Good!
In a few weeks you won't have a choice. Draft is coming. Ww3 is just around the corner.
@@father3dollarbill NOT GOOD! The US military has been the only thing holding the post WWII world together. Despite what the idiot secularists want to believe... If this is the state of US military leadership, then this world is about to descend into violence and death. The likes of which will make WWI and WWII look like the warm up sessions.
It is worse than that. To ingratiate themselves with the woke crowd, the brass prosecutes junior personnel for acts committed in the heat of battle. Nothing like being the tip of the spear, and not being backed up by your chain of command when it counts.
@@CIVILDEFENSEBUNKER most of us would rather go to prison lol.. no Sane American will fight for these rich elitist
These people NEVER ANSWER QUESTIONS.
It’s infuriating. It’s always the same -dribble- drivel.
Now it says 102 Comments and I only saw four when I got here. The are hiding 98 Comments!??!!
Did you watch the video? The second General answered directly, and Hawley even said, "I'm satisfied with your answer."
@@ivanelrino sometimes strange things happen
Correction, distributors of the “message” never answer questions.
Yeah. I commented halfway through.
That first guy. Ugh.
Can you imagine what would happen if a high-ranking officer called a subordinate the wrong pro-noun and the subordinate complained.
Watch the whole video. Pronouns are not a real problem. It's not a real policy. Hawley is attacking nothingness.
@@geki9063 - But he got it on the record that it isn't policy.
@@geki9063it IS INDEED a real problem as it’s happening right here in my area. A friend of mine is USAF and WILL be disciplined if he doesn’t use someone’s preferred pronouns including the insanity of plurals (they/them) and all the other stupidity coming from the radical left.
@OpenCarryUSMC Well then, Hawley should have called your friend as a witness and gotten it on the record. Instead, he got nothing.
When did we stop calling a person by their names? I never called a pronoun. Some people are always looking for the boogey-man.
My wife and I use to live in military housing and we would constantly get sick at least once a month and when we put in a maintenance ticket to get the house checked a guy came over looked at the interior then left and that was it. My wife and I moved out and got our own place, and we haven't gotten sick since.
I retired from the Army. The higher the rank the more politics starts taking over. So at the very top it is all political.
Thank you for sharing.
One would hope so...if one wants to live in a free democracy.
Facts. I’m a 20+ year Guardsman, with quite a bit of that (almost half) on some form of active duty. It becomes very political.
Congress approves promotions among commissioned officers. So they kiss the asses of the socialist , anti-Ametican progressives. Ain’t a backbone in the bunch. They’ve gone from fighting communism to embracing it.
@@realitywave The military should not be involved in politics.
Pretty sad when this government is taking better care of these people crossing the border than they are our military service members - especially homeless vets.
That should infuriate us all who care!! God bless this man!!!
Homeless vets are only homeless because they want to be. There are a multitude of programs and resources out there to prevent that.
Of course. They’re future voters who are gonna vote to take your guns, free speech, and property.
It both right and left that are sucking this country dry
The younger generation in this country including mine (millennials) don’t care. Long as they have their Twitter, iphone, and able to shove a Big Mac in their face they will do anything that is considered “cool” to maintain that.
Senator Hawley makes me proud to be a Missourian! 😊❤
However, remember that the Senator was born in Fayetteville, AR.
@@mikebacherl2490 ok? My dad was born in Arkansas and he was a Missourian. Do your research next time 😂
My research was based on wiki. I lived in Fayetteville over 20 years...I don't remember him. Just because he was born in Fayetteville...his Parents could have been from another State. Fayetteville is a University Town...people do come and go. I was just making a comment that he was born in Fayetteville. He attended Stanford University like his Mother did (not the U. of A.) which made me wonder where his Family did hail from!
Sorry if my comment upset you!
Sens Hawley THANK YOU!!! your are restoring my faith in the system, your are courageous and honest in your approach , my sincere gratitude to speaking out 👍👍
When I was in the Army, I got called a lot worse things than "he, young, or man."
Ex 11B (deployed) enlisted all I can say is same
Well, in the beginning a lot of supposed "he"s were addressed with "she" or "ladies" until they had proven their masculinity. 😃
But, of course, society has moved beyond that and deadly snipers scourging the hostile hills of Kurdistan with their accuracy actually use nail polish. So there's also that.
So? You're weak minded if you can't use pronouns correctly. It's the easiest thing in the world. If you cry about this, you'll crumble immediately when the real figting starts. Man, conservatives gotta turn every tiny thing into a word-ending event.
@@daszieher The point was to toughen up, Buttercup. The military isn't a social experiment. It exists to defend a nation and destroy enemies. If your feelings are offended by pronouns you're to delicate to serve, so please shut up.
I was told I was full of shit because my eyes are brown. Imagine the damage that would cause for these young people today. They would need some time in a safe place. 😂
Aren’t these the same people in military leadership who told servicemembers to apply for welfare etc. if they couldn’t afford food? How disrespectful can they be to those willing to stand in defense of the American People? These people should hang their heads in shame.
A wrong policy is the consequences for the younger generations to suffer!
Yes, yes they are.
The brass has always been bent towards politics, and don't care about the enlisted. Fucking ring knockers.
This needs to be more known in our country, people from every state, even democrat states, complain about paying taxes for welfare--why in the hell should we be paying additional tax for our military's food--how ridiculous--the cost is going to the states and that is simply not fair to any of us. Amen.
The government has illegal aliens to wooh with that money!
As a veteran I can speak from experience that within our military there are warrior officers and political officers. Depending on the administration which group rises to command positions. We clearly see the political officers are now running things. To the detriment of our military readiness.
Very well said, that distinction was always clear to me when I served.
Interesting take. Thanks for that
It's laughable that a guy with no combat experience whatsoever can give orders to veterans. You shouldn't be able to become any kind of officer without years of experience under your belt. They certainly shouldn't be politically appointed or given away to the pathetic scions of prominent families.
A military run by politicians is a recipe for recurring failure as well rampant corruption, nepotism and cronyism.
Just look at the conflicts the U.S. military has participated kind over the last few decades... the vast majority were virtually manufactured for the express purpose of profiteering, and needless to say, the companies that profited most substantially were those with the strongest political connections.
That kind of nonsense has to stop. Young men are suffering and dying fighting rich coward's wars, it's beyond disgraceful, it's absolutely despicable.
Well said! I find the political officers are the 'yes' men and women who only care for career advancement instead of integrity first.
Love this senator! He’s a breath of fresh air!🇬🇧
you must be really old....
@@lazynow1 probably, from your point of view.
@@frenzyviz6296 the term, breath of fresh air, is used by really old people.....
@@lazynow1 🤣👍 then I must be really old!
The more of these I watch, the more I find myself rooting for Josh Hawley. His presentation and questions are always on point. I hope he sticks around for a long, long time. He's a good senator.
You’re an idiot, he’s dumb as a post
He supported the insurrection. And did he even vote to pass the PACT act?
23 years of military I am so embarrassed for these people I’m embarrassed for the soldiers and the subordinates how can you respect leadership when they do this to you? How can you have any faith that these people will take care of you?
Every bit of this comes from the Academies, and every bit of it violates the UCMJ.
if Patton were alive today....he'll have this types of bastards in the military "skinned alive"
@@laurentitolledo1838 I agree he was a tough son of a bitch but he loved his troops and he made things happen and there was no political correctness about it!
We don't have faith. That's why retention is so low. It's a damn shame
Yep, Hawley is embarrassing. HA HA
"The army takes the care & quality of life of all our service members & their families very seriously" ...direct quote! ...
Then why are there so many service members (ex & current) with serious disabilities & mental health problems, caused by things that have happened to them while serving, hat are now living on the streets, that are addicts/alcoholics (due to self medicating) & so so many of these selfless service members, that take their own lives, trying to stop the pain they feel, both physically & mentally.
They end up have crippling healthcare fees & long wait times, for any operations they might need to help fix an injury, or for the physiotherapy they might need, or the psychology & psychiatry therapies they need. I understand that in UK we have our NHS & in the US, there is the V.A., but these services are so overwhelmed, here are enormous backlogs. In the US, it can take 2+yrs to get a decision on a claim for disability or help of any kind.
How would those 'in power' feel, if they had to wait for a decision, to see whether are not they are eligible for help, FROM THEIR EMPLOYERS, to get those prosthetic limbs & the physio to help them use the prosthetics and/or gain the ability to walk again, after they had their limbs blown off by a landine, whilst they were on duty, serving the army & country, to help keep it safe! I bet they dont have to wait any length of time, to even have a tooth filled!
Also HOW can u justify that around 30% of veterans claims for this help are DENIED?! If someone has been posted to 'the frontlines' & more than likely completed multiple tours of duty, how can you deny them help?! All service members, in all types of the military, that have been to a warfront, will AT LEAST need some form of mental health care, regardless of any physical issues they have!
There needs to be more done for all service members, all veterans, to make sure they get whatever they need. That help needs to be lined up & in place, BEFORE they are discharged from duty. That way, no one falls through the cracks or gets lost in the system.
These selfless souls have sacrificed their very own wellbeing & lives, to help complete strangers to be safe from attacks by foreign forces, they MORE THAN deserve our respect & given the dignity to hold their heads up & feel useful to society & their own communities!
Its disgusting & disgraceful! I'm not just talking about US military, I'm talking about all militaries, right across the world! No, im not an ex-service member either, I'm just a person that feels it should be a normal, everyday thing to treat everyone around us, with dignity, respect & empathy. Veterans across the world, are not given the respect, nor treated with the dignity, they so truly deserve!
This man is what America needs
Watch the whole video. Pronouns are not a real problem. It's not a real policy. Hawley is attacking nothingness.
Any normal person would address the issue described, apologize, and promise to fix it. These high ranking officers are political creatures. So pathetic.
These are the kind of high ranking officers that die of unfortunate accidents once a real war starts
Got that right. This whole PC nonsense has to stop
They are not going to say anything to jeopardize thier image, retirement or promotion. Many if not most are spinless pawns who will say anything the leftist want in order to get by...because the military is very leftist. The ones that actually buck the system are now purged.
Perfectly said
Any normal person doesn’t care if you call them a woman when they are a fucking women. A women cannot and will not ever be a man. Period. And no man can ever be a woman. Period.
I taught my Children to say Yes Sir or Yes Ma'am! If YOU GET offended, that's a Reflection on YOU, not US!
That's how I was raised 👍
that's how I was raised and I don't care if you get offended or not.
Sen.Hawley is brilliant, love watching and listening to his logic..and I’m from UK...😃x
This is awesome, fresh air
It's about power. Control the language and you can control what people think & do
Everything is power. But they planted a power move that they can‘t control anymore. Maybe peasants, but not the enemies theyre trying to destroy
Just memory hole it.
Notice, they have high ranking military people on these committees who most likely got to that rank by butt kissing. So, that is our political system. Those high ranking people will not do or say anything to rile the elitist they bow to.
Basic 1984
@@MrRourk basic modern liberalism
Can you imagine being on the battlefield and arguing with your sargent about which pronoun to use when giving an order.
Sargent..... nobody anywhere is called Sargent. Racist
Woke NCO on the Battlefied? Hahahaha! Sniper fire!! Ooops!
I'm trying to imagine D-Day (Operation Overlord) and that very important subject coming up, just as you were about to hit Utah beach! It's stunningly unbelievable to even think that, but, bet your bottom Dollar, someone would come-up on charges on the subject! Be they an NCO, Private or any other rank! But, never forget, equity and diversity is such a MASSIVE strength to have on a battlefield!
*Sergeant
That would give the enemy a free pass to shoot you down where you stand because you're clearly distracted and quite frankly maybe the person doing so would deserve it.
I am growing tired of being an American that supports our troups, as well as members of my community who are spouses of military spouses, while many of the supports these people have been promised by those in charge have been neglected.
No American family should be treated like they are invisable. Have a heart!
She's the reason respect is earned. Not demanded by some military rank
Is anyone else tired of watching a Senator in a Hearing, ask a direct question that can only be answered directly, but get a response that never touches the actual question as they tap dance around it? What's the point? I suspect if any one of us ever ends up in court, subject to examination, we would never be allowed to dodge a question in the same manner. It's mind boggling and disgusting.
Welcome to politics
Ha nevermind in court... None of us would get away with it in our place of professional employment.
@ Adam Weaver There *is* no point. It is a gigantic waste of time.
I don't understand it either. Honestly, I think they may be processing all the potential feedback (and criticism?) from all their multi-starred bosses and considering how miserable life might be if they get something wrong, or they declare something to boldly. While Senators are free to shoot more from the hip. Could be wrong, but that's the feeling I get.
Right! And the clock is ticking
It is not official policy, they do not leave a paper trail it is a verbal policy for plausible deniability purposes.
I see the same thing working for the government. Behind the door verbal policies. No paper trail. The minister will publicly say everything is perfectly safe, yet when I do an analysis is dangerous as hell to the public.
My son is in the Navy and he has been instructed to ask someone what they would like to be called before he can address them.
@@blingbling574 I confirm you’re correct. I worked for a large county and witnessed it daily.
@@blingbling574 It's not just in the government/military... It's everywhere. I work for an online marketing agency and there are all kinds of unspoken policies that everyone is very aware of. And your commentary on anything going on in the country is really only welcome if you're going to go full California leftist.
'Plausibly deniability' is the card that used and have been working so far by Zombie Joe and his crackhead son and family for their corruption and influence selling, so why not his people use it right?
Fellow Missourian here and we love Sen Hawley. Proud of his commitment to the people and his refusal to back down. Hoping to see Sen Hawley in the White House one day.
Watch the whole video. Pronouns are not a real problem. It's not a real policy. Hawley is attacking nothingness.
This Senator has more integrity than 90% of our officer corps, especially the flag ranks...
If you are in the army and the enemy starts using the wrong pronoun, just tell them that it is offensive and have them cancelled. Works every time 👍
Russians and Chineses will be fleeing the frontlines screaming in terror
😂😂😂
How many pronouns per minute can you put on this target?
😅
Lmfao your cruelly hilarious
I'm a Canadian but I have to say that your Senator Josh Hawley is just epic, no-nonsense and admirable!!
I agree Jane. He is straightforward in a respectful manner. Gets his point across briefly and effectively, Smart, well spoken man who I would vote for President if he ever ran!
@@CharlyRightNow HE/HIS? Are you assuming Senator Hawley's gender?
REEEEEE🤣
I'm not trying to water down anyone's opinion. Hawley is OK. What we need instead of talk is ACTION. It takes a foot up the ass of this huge bureaucracy. Unless/until someone just blows fire up their ass, NOTHING will happen. Reagan was a REAL Commander-in-Chief. Where is Biden on this? Or ANYTHING for that matter?
Reminds me of Trey Gowdy when he got the bit between his teeth.
@@ohasis8331 That guy is a legend.
I love watching Hawley 😂 He isn't buying it and won't tolerate it.
Thank you, Thank you for Someone like Josh Hawley, and other people who are like him Brave, 👏👏👏
It gives me hope that The world has not gone completely Do-Lally,
Good on you Forbes for covering this. This means something to us. I love our service members
What does that say about our country that this is even happening as we are sending billions to Ukraine in money and weapons.
They are being brainwashed to hate you.
Why are comments censored?
"this means something to us"? how can that shit be important to you?
Even the trans gender ones?
The Army cared so much for their personnel that the Wound Warrior Project had to be created to take care of the soldiers that the Army was neglecting.
The sad part is that General Milley is now pushing white supremacy dogma into the military ranks. More divisive brainwashing.
Shots fired!
And Marines.
Which my family donates to multiple times a year. One of the few charities thus far who have actually followed their mission statement.
It can get shitty sometimes, like when Trump stole money from the bases for childcare and fixing the buildings up for his wall or when he tried to steal foodstamps away from enlisted families DURING the pandemic.
Young, smart, well spoken. Why are politicians like Sen. Hawley not running for president?
Hawley is a valuable man in the senate. Hopefully we can keep him!
Whenever you hear "Senator, thank you for that question" you know what follows is a lie
False.
👍🏼
@@yesmarjan youre false. Probably a leftist programmed troll bot.
If not, youre about as bright as dull mud
All the dems and libs use it. Its protocol.
@@yesmarjan Nah, true.
When someone deliberately shortens time in a similar way, it is clear that he is lying.
Can we finally get a bill that makes it illegal for a person to say “Thank you Senator for the question”? 🤦♂️
This. All day.
Glad to see that I am not the only one irritated by this. I was watching a hearing just the other day and this woman was getting drilled with questions and she responded to EVERY questions with “Thank you Senator for the question”? even though you could see that she really hated the question. I had to quit watching.
It's a "time waster". Purposely done. Each member has a few minutes to get to their points and ask questions. It's only a few seconds every time, but the panelists waste the member's time by design
@@MrsRanchoFiesta Thanks for your reply. I learn something everyday. This makes perfect sense and all of the time it was right there in front of me. Never thought about the time limit.
Tell the witness that you don’t want to hear it. It is a waste of time, a stall tactic and a failure of respect for other’s time. Then what you do, when you have the majority, is keep them there way past the scheduled time when they try to feed you crap. You also specifically cut a piece of their funding and let their boss know that it was due to the witness being a jackass.
I've been in for 18 years, currently Active Duty, this 3 star has 2 more service stripes than I do. We need to push forward, there's a lot of distractors and if we get in a war with all the political and ethical debates going on nowadays, we are gonna be in a world of hurt.
The female Lieutenant General gave concise, clear answers to the questions. Because of that I support her promotion to four stars
It’s amazing how difficult it is to just be normal these days. Every day we have to battle uphill against utter lunacy.
This is crazy so are they saying Russia/ China are out training but our military are learning pronouns? 🤔 omg
Exactly. The more 'powerful' a person is today the closer their answers are to little kids who are in trouble with their school. They suddenly don't know, don't care, weren't there, didn't see anything, made no decisions, not responsible, not interested.
Like the character SGT Schultz on the TV show ( late 1960's) Hogan's Heroes -" I know nothing! NOTHING! Enough of the BS - Do something NOW!
I see nothing wrong with any of this. The grinder doesn't care what kind of Meat goes into it. And the more people the bankers and the corporate elitists get into the military, the more Meat for the grinder. Remember, the purpose of war isn't to win. The purpose of war is to extend the war indefinitely if possible in order to incur a profit. Look up "war is a racket" by general smedley Butler.
All basic codes of conduct...that starts young. Takes guts to speak out....speaking out, gets things done...folks often don't...because of fear,,,,bullying the biggest cause of school shootings...it needs to be talked about...bullying happens on milatary bases too.....
People with integrity are weeded out by the school system.
Others are coddled.
Perhaps one day students who take responsibility will be accommodated, rather than those making excuses.
@@-John-Doe- sounds like common sense to me....a class room is more then just one problem child. Other children shouldn't be made to suffer it. Often a bully has problems at home...in my experience.
Love you Congressman Hawley! Thank you for that burn in your belly in an effort to set America to rights.
Senator Hawley would make a great new Speaker of the House.
As a veteran I'm absolutely disgusted with the leadership of our armed forces.
ME TOO!
Haha, what the General is saying is; since you called us out we plan to plan on doing something. Please stop asking us questions 😅
i want to know why traitor hawley is still walking free. he should be decorating a gallows instead of pushing his culture war bs.
Sadly Hawley didn’t follow up, when she said “ I’m not saying it’s not happening , I’m saying it’s not our policy.”
Now I see 33 comments. The counter says there are 583 comments. CZcams is hiding 550 comments.
And do not check back later to see if we actually did anything...
Nothing will be done.
Josh Hawley is THE POLITICIAN and one of a kind! If in any government around the globe will be one Mr. Hawley sitting as your Senator or better as our President we would surely build, peaceful fellowship and responsible societies.
I don't know him, but I wish we had more like him over here in Europe, too. He's no bs'er.
32 year retired veteran 1987-2019 (8 years Army, 24 Air Force). While our armed forces wrap their minds and time on F'n pronouns our enemies are laughing their asses off and spend their time training their soldiers to destroy ours regardless of pronouns.
Thank you for your service, Sir or Mam.
its good for INTEL, searching for woman 36yo brunette, but in fact is a guy ...gender stealth ...
Thank you for your service sir or mam or it or he/ Shemale 😃👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
That’s the goal. This is all done to crush America and degrade and humiliate us.
We can't use steroids to be more physically fit but we can chop the cannoli off and get time off from PT tests lol wtf
It really is a breath of fresh air to see a good, hardworking, honest senator,it really is a sight to see. Helps restore my faith in the Americans
We've had a few here and there over the years. They do great work while they can.

I love Josh! He's the best Senate member I've ever witnessed..... Ted Cruz too
Senator Hawley 👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was stationed at Ft Leonard Wood as an instructor for the Marines and the house that I used was a condemned house. I was told directly to my face that the Army, Navy and Air Force did not accept those homes because they were that condemned. The other branches did not allow their Enlisted, but the Marines accepted them because they were up to our standards for living.
From day 1, I was sick the entire time I lived in those homes.
The homes were falling apart and had mold throughout the entire house.
When I asked for a better barracks room I was laughed at by the Army and told that as a Marine, I should just accept it.
The week I moved out, I was no longer sick.
The brass in the Military DO NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT THE LIVING CONDITIONS FLR ENLISTED.
They never have and never will.
I beg to differ with you devil dog. The Army, Navy and Air Force would not allow their members to stay in the quarters you described. Yet it was allowable for the beloved corp to allow you to stay their.
Oo rah!
Thank you for your service!! 🇺🇸
@@ptw2408, I won't argue with you over this, it is just what I was told when I was given the keys to my barracks room. But very few Soldiers, Sailors and Air Men stayed in our area. Tons of Marines though.
Wow you really want airmen and sailor boys sleeping near you? OORAH!!!!!! You go girl!
@@Austinandpup, what are you talking about?
Service people and Senior Citizens seem to be the last group of people who receive Government help...
What??? We have Social Security and Medicare….
Yep. There's not much money or political currency to be made with either demographic.
At least service people and senior citizens have medical insurance, regardless of what folks thinks of the quality of that medical. Us middle class peeps making under $50K are the group that receives nothing, and can't afford the coverage the government says is "affordable".
In diversity classes they only talk about "brown" people, they never mention elderly in general, homeless in general, veterans in general or anybody who is an American citizen who needs help in general. There is a massive emphasis on "browness" and "brown immigrants." Schools are awful now.
General Milly is going to hand us all over to the Chinese.
As a USAF Vet I say to young folks "DO NOT GO INTO THE MILITARY"! Its a joke now.
Every state need someone like Senator Hawley representing them
"We take this issue very seriously" = "We want you to _think_ we're doing something about it"
"We are committed to spending" = "We're shopping around to find the cheapest possible solution we can find."
I'm with Lawley, I too am sick and tired of hearing about how "committed" the government is to "finding solutions" to the problems they've created. Whether we're military personnel living in substandard base housing or regular civilians struggling with escalating inflation and stagnant wages, or communities dealing with massive influxes of illegal immigrants, the time for "finding" solutions has long past, we need action today, right now to start addressing these problems.
It makes me wonder what these people with stars on their shoulders are living in, what conditions their families are subjected to.
Less Military Heiarcy, and
More N.C.O.'s, Soldiers, and Better Housing, Benefits,etc?
Fire any General Officer, or Administration Personnel, who is WOKE, Fired!
Military is for Fighting, and Defending, and to Win!
Get rid of Mark Milley,due to
"White Rage",Incompetency!
less on Rachel Levine BS, and More on the Military Family's(House, School,etc)? Remove WOKE!
When I was at Ft. Meade, we had all branches represented when I was reclassing. The barracks for each of the branches varied with Air Force/Navy/Coast Guard living in decent barracks, then the Army was next with adequate barracks. Then the poor marines, their barracks had raw sewage dripping from the ceiling, but those guys didn't say shit about it. But I can tell you, across the Army, like 80% of the barracks were 70 years or older. Hell at Ft. Bliss, I was staying in the same barracks that WW2 folks lived in. But it was improving bit by bit.
You shouldn't have done that..
"we are committed to spending" We are shopping around for whichever company will slip us some of the tax payers money under the table.
As someone who has been in base housing in 3 different bases over the last 15 years, It is a disaster everywhere. And honestly, ever since it has been taken over by civilian management companies.
Even the barracks are horrific. I was at the sub base in Groton, CT for A school back in 2003. Half of the main barracks there was supposed to be shut down and renovated due to black mold. They still had guys in the rooms. I was chatting with a friend last year that had just joined and was there for his school.. that same barracks was still open and being lived in, still with black mold. Though with some more rooms closed off.
Boo on civilian. More government is the answer!
The important thing is how much the politicians and unelected bureaucrats were paid to approve those contracts, not the members of teh armed services who are willing to risk their lives for this country.
We grew up on an Army base in what my brother and I to this day call "the cardboard house," having discovered as kids a pencil could push through the connecting wall to our neighbors' apartment.
I kind of liked military housing at Tierra Santa in San Diego. Nice location and nice homes.
Thank you, Senator Hawley for asking the questions regarding housing for our service men & women. I appreciate the fact that you will be a thorn in the side. Thank you for asking General Miller about the insane directive that the pronouns he/she, male/female, and older/younger? I am relived to here that General Miller has stated that this is NOT policy and no directive has come down the from head of the Airforce stating so!!!!! Keep asking the tough questions Senator Hawley!
I am a UK Citizen (76) and Josh Hawley is a legend!!!
Nice to see a politician actually do something good . This should be a great example of good works in senate . Job well done 👍
Josh Hawley is no Saint. He is still Pro Big Government as any other career Democrat and won't bat an eyelid to infringe on your rights. Americans need a smaller Government and restrained Governance. Josh Hawley will not get you there.
You mean sprinting josh Hawley....who supports insurrection?
@@ecstanton8385 Well well, seems you supported the burning down of many cities.
Oh, if this guy isn’t president one day, America has missed the boat.

All these hearings are broadcasted live on TV and streamed online. It’s the best way to educate and inform yourself to be able to come up with your own opinion. Watching CNN and FOX NEWS channels that try to create out of context viral clips is not the way to go. The title of this clip is a great example.
MSM even cuted Erdohan interview in part where he slams EU, and also they closed comments...
I am a combat veteran, talking my son out of joining the US woke military.
Hawley asks the same question 4 times and gets the same answer each time and seems disappointed.
"That is not an official policy from the Dept. of the Air Force." Very specific. I wonder if that's sort of like FBI directors blaming field offices for FBI shenanigans to cover the administration?
Sounds like someone needs a Code Red.
Santiago must have been improperly using pronouns and hurt someones feelings
@ughmahedhurtz; Yeah, I can see it now in the FBI…”No, it didn’t originate from the seventh floor.”…
Shit rolls DOWN hill. Not up.
This service man should be ashamed of himself. He is lieing through his teeth.
Look at the count of comments 200+ I can only see about 14 of them. CZcams should be ashamed of itself. What is going on here.
And he’s lying
Consequences that the American people have to suffer, also because of people like that!?
It's what we asked him to do.
Well, he is an officer.
Thank you senator for lighting a fire under that Army General you know what.
Sen Josh Hawley please run for president one day. You got my vote!
The US Air Force Academy is under fire for holding diversity and inclusion training that urges cadets to use non-gendered language, scrapping words like 'mom,' and 'dad', as well as 'girlfriend' and 'boyfriend.'
'As part of the Diversity & Inclusion Cadet Leadership Program, this conversation was developed by cadet leaders and USAFA staff to introduce all cadets to Department of the Air Force definitions of diversity and inclusion, as well as how these concepts enhance our warfighting effectiveness,' the spokesperson said.
If this isn't official Air Force policy why are so many commands pushing this garbage?

It’s a disgrace. Marine veteran here. This country has been falling apart for a while. But, when you start to see the military fall apart, it means we are all in big trouble.
@@justmyopinion7568 Lol, you're either not a veteran or had a single digit Asvab score. "Military is falling apart because they're showing respect to each other" wow man. Get a grip grunt.
@@johnsimth6587 walking on eggshells trying not to offend or hurt feelings is not showing respect.
If I’d like you to address me in a certain manner, I’ll try to earn your respect not whine about it and force it.
While we’re here worried about feelings, and pronouns.other super powers are training to be strong men and women.
Yes it’s falling apart.
Respect is earned in the military. Ironically, being respectful is a big part of that.
The forts and bases housing and other buildings need to meet acceptable and safe standards! Mr. Hawley is correct!
Those standards are set by state and county regulations. Base Housing is Federal, so is not beholden to those regulations, which means the Federal Government would need to duplicate the inefficient way what state and counties are already doing.
Either the DOD needs to step up their game, or have the Base commanders require their base housing meet civilian requirements with a process or option to exempt some as relevant.
Maybe we could buy some new military housing from Russia. They have empty ones. Or the Ukrainians ???
As an active duty spouse I can tell you it is not. For the upper echelons yes. For the rank and file: no.
You need to say "he/him."
@@TheJBerg had a friend who was a juror on a military housing case. The air vents for the AC was full blown fucked with mold... Now from I was told after it was resolved is that the feds only use about 30 personal to check some 500 houses a DAY (that's also 500 per person doing the inspection) Needless to say the family won rightly so. But I'm sure that service members received shit from his higher ups. So they need to put far more money into to higher these.personel instead of worrying about how to line their pockets.
Also any jackass that allows these living standards to armed service members should be forced to put a mask on with a busted filter laced with mold and thrown into an airtight room filled with the mold so if they take the mask off they get a dose anyway.
Thank you always, Sen. Hawley! You always are such a hard worker. Keep charging and keeping this Beautiful Country Upright!
I wish Josh would run for president one day.
Well, us older veterans can recall when the attitude was "If we wanted you have a family, we would issue you one."
Bahahahha
FACT: If there are no "families", there will be NO more service members.
"Why are you facing the wrong way, son?"
"But drill sergeant, I'm non-binary!"
"Boy, if you don't get your act together, you will be non-binary when I'm through with you!"
I thought the army ended shark attacks from drill sergeants? 😂

Thank you Senator for looking out for those who are serving. Please don’t stop, we the American people back you up.
This is the same guy that voted against the PACT Act. You know how I know that, he votes no on everthing. What you see in this video is all he does in Congress. He hasn't introduced any legislation.
You are not the voice of the American people and neither is Josh Hawley.
All of us except the guy who got censored. 😆

Censorship??? No no no

Senator Hawley for President in 2028!
As usual, whenever a witness starts every response with, "Senator..." you know they're lying. Never fails.
Lately, it's been whenever they breathe, you know they're lying.
@@DG-sc1yu Quite true...
how else do you expect them to reply tho?? like.... what's the "honest" way??
Also when they say "Thank you for that question, Senator".
@@emma-eventing just answer the question. I am pretty sure he already knows he is a senator and doesn’t need to be reminded.
"it may or may not be happening, I don't know anything, I'm not accountable" love it
They don’t know anything but got summoned to DC. With more than enough time to know your duties & responsibilities....
Not knowing what goes on in your work place as a higher up is very concerning. I wish I voiced my concerns when I was in the air force in hindsight to piss off this one superintendent I didn't like.
This is why you don't recruit women. They can't be hold accountable for their job.
People post dumb crap from the internet. Should she be "accountable" for that? She literally just told you the woke BS is NOT policy. 🤦♂️
Typically for a female to say this.
It was/is 100% official policy, but they will deny it ever was, even in the facing of damning evidence to the contrary, because they know they will never be held accountable for it.

It takes a while to attempt to turn things this bad around. Be patient, don't believe anything you hear or see on these censored platforms for the near future. You should be on rumble to have a source of truth before you blindly believe anyone.
Regarding Fort Leonard Wood housing questions, how in the world can we accept BS non-answers such as that from a general in the army. I think it’s embarrassing and disgusting.
You are losing sight of the real issue here. How do we pay tor EIGHTY SEVEN FUCKING THOUSAND more IRS agents but decent housing can’t be provided to our military members? See an issue here? Maybe?
@@GuapoJhimi you bet there is ,it’s classism at its finest ,bet that general has a nice place .
The General should be straight up fired. He was told to fix housing, he promised to fix housing, two years later not a single dollar spent on housing and he's delivering the same BS promise.
The entire point of having civilian oversight is to hold the military accountable to the people, If the committee can only shake its fist then there is no accountability.
A female general, why is she not applying at the military kitchen service instead? 🤣
Look people we can only afford so much.Sex changes for personel and brochures on using pronouns are very important right now. Holy crap God save this country Thank you MR. HAWLEY
God seems to be the problem.
Wh would a God require a gender anyway?
god isn’t real
I’m at Ft. Benning GA. Right Now. The shack they have my Son his Wife, and my two Granddaughters in is despicable!
We just moved off post at Benning. Our ceiling and walls were crumbling, mushrooms growing from cabinets, and door frames completely ate up with termite damage.
Thank god for this man
A 3 star General telling a senator they don't remember how something started. If this were a subordinate officer or enlisted telling this general the same thing they would be removed. It's no wonder retention is severely suffering.
I love how he's putting pressure on the hard topics , he's a man of the people
Yeah, the hard topics like questioning a 3-star general about why some random person deciding to send out an email. Really tough.
He's certainly a man who knows how to fleece dumbasses with completely manufactured outrage, I'll give you that
Has been there, talked to the people, taken their problems and wishes to the committee and promised to be a pain in their "you know what" until something changes, so he proceeds to be just that.
This man is not a politician, he's a leader and I hope we will get more of his caliber in all countries.
Let's see how well that works out and what results he gives since he's just a brilliant guy
Watch the whole video. Pronouns are not a real problem. It's not a real policy. Hawley is attacking nothingness.
Love this guy. Keep up the great work!
