DONT SAY PEOPLE. ITS RACIST.
RINO IS A VERB. PPPFFTTT. DONT SAY VERB. ITS RACIST
Exactly 💯 right
This crap is exactly why there is a real issue with recruitment.
Damn right! We should only hire Republicans and make the Military into the White Power group IT WAS MEANT TO BE! ❤
One of them. The fact Americans are so out of shape they can't meet the physical requirements is a bigger issue though.
That and the idea that the military can FORCE their personnel to take any experimental injection at any time and call it a vaccine.
@@mark7s980wrong . I was recently in and can tell you it’s 100% the ideology the military has right now with its political correctness. Nobody wants to join because of that.
I think it likely has more to do with the kind of wars we have fought and their results from about vietnam forward.
What a joke. I’ve never been so ashamed of my Country and it’s government. Glad my parents and grandparents are not around to see what has happened to their Beloved United States of America 🇺🇸
IF they should miraculously return, you will have to say "hey grandpa and grandmaa... welcome back....to Amicubamexzuela!"
Come back from the water and claim your minor trust. The White House Inc. is a private for profit corporation which makes all military personnel mercenaries.

I mirror your thoughts, I've thought exactly as you have about this nonsense.
This guy is A FOUR STAR!!! As a Veteran in my opinion, disgusting display of SPINELESS!
As an Air Force vet if over 20 years, watching this makes me glad I'm retired and mad that these weak senior officers bend to the will of the woke minority.
Same here. Served 24+; retired 25+. What is happening to the Air Force and all the services is criminal.
We used to "intraservice" joke with each other in my day and the Air Force was often the butt of jokes such as the "Chair Force". Currently, I see the entirety of our Armed Forces being dumbed down, inadequately trained, and distracted from the primary mission. Sadly, so do China, Russia, Iran, and every other nation who would rejoice at the fall of American prominence and our influence on global freedom and liberty!
Ditto!!!! 30 years here
@@dwb812 Lawyers and lawyer/politicians have hamstrung the Military in every war following WWII and after Obama purged as many true leaders in the Military as possible, this is the result. The USA can only win a war of Pronouns.
This is what happens when +99% of the population, butts into the -1% of populations business.
Our country is circling the drain. When you change meanings of words to fit a certain ideology is terrifying. Our enemies will not have to fire a single shot, the enemy is already in the Whitehouse
Absolutely! Trump needs to be President for LIFE! Democrats shouldn’t be allowed to even vote!
What you said
Orwell warned everyone. The Soviet Union was a warning too. No one listened, no one fought back, no one wanted to be involved. Now enjoy it.
I upvote this comment 👍👍👍
Oh, please. What is terrifying is when you try to force people to say slavery was a good thing. Or change history that is being taught so that white people don’t have to feel bad about being racist.
Real question: If someone has is offended by someone saying "Mom and Dad" or "colorblind", presumably to the point where it diminishes their ability to be productive in the Academy, how will they react when someone is trying to literally shoot them in the face?
I am sure the enemy will use their pronouns if they get captured.
@@temparalflux914 I have this vision of someone being strapped to a chair in a room full of enemy intel officers shouting micro aggressions like "Hey guys!" and "You people".

We've gone full circle, from judging people by the color of their skin, to not judging people for the color of their skin, to people now wanting us to judge them for the color of their skin.
So twisted. This is unexplainable nonsense.
There's money in that for the "victims."
he explicitly said not judge but recognize. you need to listen!
@@ArcanicBabe Recognizing is another word for judge. Who gives a shit about the color of someone's skin. "Recognizing" the color of someone's skin is an excuse for identity politics and division, and only leads to racism and discrimination.
@@TyrianHaze who gives a shit, lmaoooo. people who resonate or feel whatever other emotion there is to feel about their own culture DESERVE to be recognized as that group. do you think its possible to name something without acting differently because of solely that? you dont have to and shouldnt forget that race exists, just stop being racist :3
The fact that this meaningless conversation is even happening at this level should terrify everyone
You’re correct. And honestly, I am very scared.
These are politicians not Service Members. After you put that first star on, you are Washington Lackey.

It's why I never enlisted. Saw the writing on the wall and knew this is bullshit I won't tolerate.
They are paying for sex change operations meaning they are allowing mentally unfit people serve. You have to pay to mutilate someone. I guess the sterilization at this point is better than carrying on this madness.

I'm black and loves MLK and Fredrick Douglas messages. This guy goes directly against the things that will fix this country. Good job Matt I don't know you but you are my brother from another mother.
So they stopped allowing the term "handicapped" a long time ago and changed it to disabled. Now it's changed to person who is disabled. This is getting ridiculous.
I bet soon someone will push for the term to become "semi-abled" and even then someone else will probably have a problem with that.
Funny how they still call it "Handicap parking."
If they call it "Disabled parking," only junked cars could occupy that space.
@@bosniaforever Agreed. We should come up with a term for the perpetually offended.

That is because IT IS mind control.

It pains me to know that I lost so many good men from my unit to defend this.
Thank you for your service. How sad is it that the most important thing this guy wants to be known for is the color of his skin
As a 100% disabled Persian Gulf War veteran I don't see a black soldier/sailor, but rather an American who volunteered to serve our country.
Right? It's not meant to be taken literally. These people are genuinely r-worded (thanks, CZcams). It's a metaphor. I will treat you as though I can't see the color of your skin. Actual dog brains, these people. Good gods...

its crazy right, why do senior members of the military/policticians push for us service members to acknowledge more than that.
@@herrpezI call them tardies. CZcams doesn't erase that one yet
@zyrabell69 In truth you see an American who volunteered to serve the Fortune 500 and multinational corporate power.
And our military leaders are wondering why the rest of the world is laughing at them!
They know and so many talented senior officers are getting out because they cannot stand this stupidity. It’s a great shame.
They can laugh but it doesn’t matter as long as 1500 nuclear weapons remain good to go 😂
My question is, why do we have to worry about anyone else and their sensitivities with regard to the language that we choose to use?
The more we don't fight this,
the more we deserve the outcome.
If a “leader” has to say “I think…” over and over, then we need to reevaluate what a leader is.
Great coment
What is à freeloader
Cause you defend too many
He’s a senior officer I doubt he believes in any of this. He actually had to move up the hard way through hard work when becoming a black general was difficult. Now he sees everything handed to them based on color over merit. But generals(and all officers to a certain extent) are politicians. He knows he must follow the orders to keep his place. And like general milly the milquetoast he will be a good boy and obey
This is not a politician. This is a military leader and it’s a joke he has to answer to a joke of a politician trying to justify old ignorant remarks.
@@necessities-1235 When you’re as high ranking as he is, then your life is nothing but politics. You rarely do anything related to military tasks anymore.
Gaetz is right on!
Absolutely! This experiment with Democracy needs to end!
I could never imagine being in a fox hole, under fire, explosives going off all around me and a higher ranks walks into the foxhole and yelling "good morning, could you please tell me your pronouns so I could properly address you!?"
This easy to solve ask the officer to walk to the enemy and ask about their pronouns, you dont want to be insensitive.
An argument against being “color, blind” is an argument for treating people differently based on their skin color. Only now certain people want to be treated better based on their race.
Well. It was always that way around. If you think lesser of other because of race then you think higher of all the other ones that arent part of that race
Now? Lol it's always been this way.
I, as a mother, EARNED that title and I am so proud to be one..no one is going to take that away from me..I'm not a "birthing person", "chest feeder" nor any of the ridiculous titles out there

Back a decade or so, at Ft Jackson trainees were allowed to carry a paddle in their back pocket. On it read "your in my space!" When a drill instructor came to close, the trainees could pull it out and stick it in the drill instructors face!
I'm glad I'm no longer in the military!
God forbid the military would ever "offend" anyone...🤣🤣🤣
I didn't realise that Bubba actually survived Vietnam. Forrest will be so happy!
You goat smellin trainees was one of the milder names we were called in basic training, a day didn't go by without a drill Sargent telling us that he would rip our faces off and hang it on our bunk. We got called maggots daily.
We are SO DOOMED! The military has gone to the ridiculous! I’m sure our enemies don’t give a crap about inclusiveness and equity!!! I can’t believe theses people are in charge of anything!!!!
This must have been a REALLY important hearing! Look how many Representatives showed up! 🙄🙄🙄
The Military has become a Social Study ..
It has actually become Democratic Caucus...
Yes! We need to end this ‘democracy’ and return America to the White Christian nation it was founded as! TRUMP FOR LIFE‼️
Has been for years now.
if by "social study" you mean "joke" then yes.
Spending time on this, instead of strategy or preparation, is exactly what an enemy would want.
🤡
It's worse than wasting time, the Left is actively subverting our military into another leftist institution that they can ultimately turn on us.
The people pushing this are the enemy.
Russian communists told us the plan to get where we are today 50-60 years ago. The progressives are now entrenched in that commie philosophy. But those who are against the progressives are the true evil according to them.
How did this man end up with four stars?
God help us if this guy indicates the level of our top military leadership.
Gaetz nails it in the head.
I saw a rapport about high school kids being taught all this crap.
The kids said they now paid more attention to different skin colors. Not less.
So the segregation and dividedness was up, not down.
Im amazed at how many extreme liberals there are in government, military leadership, higher education, and the media. They seem to be smart until they start speaking and then my jaw just drops. We are going down the tubes. I miss the America I grew up in.
WOW, when I was in the military (USMC), the only thing that mattered was your rank and your skills.
Hey general, enlisted personnel are not allowed in officer facilities... I find that very "non-inclusive."
Its called the long march through the institutions. they've been working themselves into / indoctrinating people in positions of power. now they think they have it secure, so the mask is coming off
"Rules for Radicals". This has been in the works for decades. Starting with Academia.
Satan has placed his followers well.
I Totally Agree !!!
All of our enemies will use inclusive weapons!
Ha ha!
They aren't punished but it may affect their performance reports depending on how their supervisor perceives them. Promotions depend largely on performance reports and who endorses (writes a supporting statement) the report. An officer that doesn't get an endorsement from a full Colonel (O-6) might never make Major. These things add up to a successful career or not.
As a former soldier in the US Army with 8 years of service and two overseas deployments (OEF), I was tempted to sign back up as an officer because I had finished my degree and the recruitment numbers were low. I knew the military had gone a little leftist but then I researched it and talked to some current service members. No way in hell I would ever go back in to that left wing woke shitshow.
It's ALL about DIVISION.
So military guy testifying for DEI wants to emphasize that everyone should see him as a black man. Then, he says that he doesn't want to be considered different from others because he's a black man. So, basically no matter what anyone does or says, they're wrong. This is one of the more obvious problems with DEi
He wants to be special, aka "black" when he achieves, but if he fails he wants to be "just a person"
That's the entire point of it. No matter what you say, you can be in the wrong. They can get rid of people they don't like or promote their buddies then.
Noticed that.
@@ihaveachihuahauExactly that's the point.
Lol can you imagine, like being on a mission or your trying to take an objective, and all the while your command is worried about how your talking to each other?
I Imagine in the Next battle… your team lead says; „we’re gonna attack these MFs from the East, while Bravo..“; PFC Snuffy chimes in;
„SGT I find it offensive that you said Mother. You are assuming their gender.“
no matter how inclusive or respectful you be, there will ALWAYS be someone that will be highly offended by you.. mostly certain people who are career victims mind you

I don't recall the drill sergeants being very concerned about offending any of the recruits when I was going through basic training. In fact I think some of them just might have enjoyed being offensive.
He should be dishonorably discharged. There is no honor in that officer.
Interesting how we aren't supposed to offend these groups, but they don't care one wit about offending the rest of us. BTW, forced language never works. People just end up resenting being forced. Especially Americans!
You got that right!!!!
They don’t like colorblindness because then they don’t get treated better then everyone else, we’re either equal or we’re forced to act like we’re not which is it ????

@@herrpezspot on
When the people pushed this initiative to MAKE us use their language, we laughed. The DOD is no longer complacent, they are outright pushing decisive language and we’re no longer laughing. Wtf
These conversations are completely insane. They are painful to listen to. The world is losing it’s freaking mind.
A Classic example of 'Military Intelligence'!
You can make every argument under the sun about doing everything you can to not "offend" people. But here's the thing. There's no such thing as a right to not be offended. And people who are easily "offended", will ALWAYS find something to be "offended" about, regardless of how many "rules" you make to mitigate it.
In fact I’d argue it gives such people a feeling of power having others run around trying desperately not to offend them
And in some cases the group being "protected" would rather just see all this junk end because they see the insanity for what it is. The trouble is everyone is so busy being offended on their behalf noone ever asked if it was offensive.
Right, they need to grow a thicker skin.
In my 70+ years and many years in corporate America, I've found, without exception, the more inferior a person is, the easier it is to offend them.
Never bow to the left.
And they wonder why recruitment is so low. When a young person thinks about going into the military and sees this Bull Crap, they turn around shaking their heads at the stupidity of this.
My uncle was in the USAF Most of his life grow up in Northern Indiana he was always An easy going Person 😊😊😊, And was A professor somewhere in/by Pennselvania after he retired from USAF 👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

That's crazy. Colorblind doesn't mean that someone doesn't SEE colors. It means that skin color does NOT DETERMINE a person's worth.
I'm so glad I got out when I did. It's going take casualties like WW2 to rid ourselves of this non-sense.

Years ago, I talked my son the joining the military. Now, I am begging him to get the hell out. - I am an Air Force veteran, and my son is in the 82nd Air Borne -
Here you have a military guy saying two different things, which is the root of leftist thinking.
1. We are equal and we should treat each other as such
2. We are all different and we need to treat people different based on the context they represent
He even said that he wants you to recognize him as a black man, understand his context, and THEN judge him by his character.... while at the same time preaching inclusiveness based on differences lol.
What you are missing is that you can treat everyone equally and see each person for who they are as an individual. The two are not mutually exclusive. If you have to strip him of his blackness to treat him decently then you are not seeing him but an imaginary figure you created in your head. That is silly.
When people are being treated differently by their color or gender, then you HAVE to be aware of the differences to identify how and why they are being treated differently, in order to address those issues. Pretending like society is already there and suggesting color blindness is a disingenuous way of trying to make people BLIND to the unequal TREATMENTS - so they cannot be addressed. It would be like saying "all houses are the same" to a firefighter, when only some of them are on fire.
Most Democrats see imaginary figures created in their heads 😂😂
@@jasonwhite6463yeah but not all black people are the same or have experienced the same things. Just as not all white people are privileged as democrats like to claim. So how does looking at his skin color solve anything if I don't know his personal story or background? That would just be jumping to racist conclusions based on someone's skin color. Which is why the whole concept of "not seeing color" exists. But I guess y'all like clinging to racist stereotypes and want people to use them in order to judge people.
@@Daniel-Strainwhat inequalities do black people or people of color face in America today!? Society was "already there" a few decades ago. Not my fault the Marxists/communists trying to take over our country brought racism back full force in order to create division and tear down our country.

Give their captors a lesson in diversity and inclusion of course. Oh and let’s not forget they will also be significantly trained in how not to hurt anyone’s feelings or god forbid offend anyone.
Honestly though, with the way things are and the fact they’ve been purging the military of any competent leadership for 4 years straight. I doubt we would even have a war at this point. Most likely they would just order everyone to surrender to the enemy. The sad truth is chy-na already owns most of the politicians in DC and state capitals , on both sides of the aisle. The left willingly and the right by blackmail and bribes. To the politicians we’ve already lost the war, everything now is just theater to sell that reality to the American people. Here look at this. Climate change right, the earth is dying, we need to get rid of all of our ICE vehicles and buy EV’s. Guess who profits the most from that? Chy-na owns almost all of the lithium and cobalt mines. Chy-na profits while every western nation commits economic suicide chasing a ridiculous fantasy. Here’s the best part, even if tomorrow we all stopped driving ICE vehicles bought EV’s or bicycles. Installed solar panels and wind turbines on our homes. It would t change a single damn thing. Do you know why? It’s because chy-na the worlds worst polluter and creator of green house gases is exempt for the next 20-30 years from every single climate treaty it signed with the rest of the world’s governments. No one else is exempt only chy-na. Also chy-na has already stated its intention of bringing a new coal fired power plant online every week to two weeks for the at least the next 3 years. Now knowing that and knowing that every government in the west knows that explain why they are still lecturing us on climate change and killing our economies to “go green”. Knowing that any little effect our changes of going green causes will just be massively offset by what chy-na’s doing. We all live on the same planet I believe? I’m pretty sure that was the whole point of their climate speeches. Here’s one more thing, every year for the past few years over 100,000 Americans have died from fentanyl or other opioid overdoses. To put that into perspective America was officially in the Second World War from 41 to 45 and we lost about 420,000 Americans. Average that out and you get just over 100,000 Americans per year. Our govt knows the drugs that are killing our people are coming directly from chy-na and being smuggled across our southern border. Yet you never really here them talk about that. Instead they talk about this nonsense in the video. Why do they do that? Because it’s divisive. It gets people annoyed and angry and arguing with the left wing commies on the other side. It distracts them and keeps them busy. The drugs, that’s just 1 thing out of 100 chy-na is directly doing to America to weaken it. Think about chy-na is killing the same amount of Americans Germany, Italy, and Japan killed during WW2 and no one says a word about it. And in fact they’re actually killing way more than that. So when I say they already own the politicians in America, I’m not just throwing that out there for the hell of it. There’s ample evidence to suggest they do. The fact is we are already at war and we may have already lost it without even fighting back.
Understand? Understand 95% of the people!
Hopefully the enemy will not use hurtful language.
He cannot answer, nor defend this, because it is indefensible and contrary to the First Amendment and our Constitution. It directly flies in the face of what actual inclusion is. People being able to say things like "we are all just people" takes away the propensity for others to be able to claim victimhood and a special status, thus destroying the very same division they are claiming they are trying to eliminate, and they know it.
6uild 6ack 6etter
Another reason he can't answer is because of logic, regardless of The Constitution. "We're all just people" is not in any way exclusive, unless someone chooses to feel excluded by the word "We" (or maybe "people?" lol).
@@akiramenai4973 - or the words "We, the People" are reflective of that in their minds and they, for some unknown foolish reason, are offended by that. I know they are frightened of those three words...

@@chrispetersen4863 The obvious problem is that they exclude themselves, and they only feel at ease if we join them in their inferiority groupings.

People used to talk about taking offense at something. Now people talk about who is giving offense. That riht there explains it.
Oy vey that's antisemitic if people didn't feel oppressed and offended how could we as a people grift and divide??
I think I want our military toi be TOUGH!!!
Even Roman Empire crumbled, American military fighting with words is just another level
Three stars affirmative action.
I can remember when we were drilled to be ready for war but now they want to argue about word usage
When I was in the military as enlisted we were never given leeway to give excuses as to why something is as awful as they were or someone had to take responsibility. The answer was always "yes sir" or "we'll fix it right away or find the answer". And by god we better have had the answer the next time it came up. It pisses me off that every time these officers come up to answer for their incompetence and corruption they do nothing but give the mealy mouthed answered that would have gotten anyone enlisted reprimanded and stripped of their rank.
May be its time for Congress to send these high rank bureaucrats onto the active duty forefront to where ever US military is now operate. When they will get into reality of the war machine they will change their attitude. I think WE need the Constitutional article on that, all military bureaucrats have to be sent to active duty barracks for wrong doing, and all other President's admin secretaries have to go and work where little people on the bottom perform their duties. Like for example work on the border being a border control deputy for Mayorkas, or for Pete Buttigieg for example to work as train operator or train cleaner or something even lower level of operation then those to get his hands into pile of dirt
@krasavam1625 The generals are politicians today. Completely backwards.
I’m equally embarrassed as a USAFA grad. This Clark guy won’t answer these questions for a program he approved. I guess he was hired because he was Black, instead of the best leader for the Academy. Obviously ethics isn’t his strong point. He should be fired, but no Brown is in charge with the same racial prejudice in front of Congress. Everyone sees this, so recruiting, in the dumps.
It's the classic "do as I say, not as I do"
100%, if junior officers acted like most senior officers do in front of Congress I’d fire them ASAP. It is mind blowing how senior officers get away with it.
I talk to people at work about this and they literally don’t believe me because it’s so insane! Thank you sir for shining a light on this ridiculousness.
Come armed with proof, physical things they can see and not just words from your mouth.
Insane, no. Suggestions, yes. Stop whining.
@@kevinboone2178 its not logical, its like watching a homeless guy drugged up pointing to the sky and claiming its all red while you clearly see its blue.
if thats not insanity to some degree, what is it?
heck, my example makes even more logical sense since we know he is drugged up!
@@TuhljinTampergaugemy friend, even with proof these people don't accept reality. I told a workmate about the hunter laptops being legitimate and verified by liberal news papers like the New York Times and yet he refuses to look at the article.
In my office you can’t have that conversation because it violates DIE Rules
It always comes back to bite them in the ass.😂😂😂
What an upside down, insane world this has become!🤦🏼♀️
God bless America🇺🇸❤️
if the people protecting us are this week minded we’re done
I'm still not understanding why people are deemed offensive. Is the officer implying there are people who identify as animals, furniture, or pastries? This is f*ckin insane!
No but cats and dogs. 8 year old girls like DM and babies who wear diapers. Insanity.
We HAVE to use the same words in the name of diversity. How 'bout they just stop trying to control every damn thing? How can I use YOUR WORDS to express myself? How do these ppl get to the point that they think they're above us all??The hubris is stunning.
That was awesome Matt
When I wore the uniform many years ago, we were all told that the color of the face sticking out of the uniform didn't matter. We were all one color; Navy blue!
Everyone knew how to talk to each other until a bunch of candy asses came around and decided we didn’t. I’m sure our enemies will be pleased with how sensitive our armed services have become. What a joke.
They sure are workin hard 🔨🚧🔨🛠️
love ya Matt
This is a disgrace and I’m glad my grandfathers, who fought for this country,aren’t alive to see this happening. I guarantee they would be heartbroken. We’re better than this. The world laughs at us-we are not respected anywhere and nothing good will come of it.
I agree 😢 mine would be also.
My grand uncles, dad, sister, and brother in-laws and ex-husband and his family along with my adopted children would be and are extremely disappointed in why they even joined or fought to protect our Liberties, especially those who take take take and take for granted everything they want without giving anything but heart ache in return.
Former Army,
Former Army, Vietnam era Desert Storm, I am so glad I do not have to deal with this type of bulls***t. Training people to be cannon fodder
@@peterclark4713 Thank You For Your Service 🇺🇸
I cannot for the life of me believe that our military is behaving in this way. Our soldiers don't need the distraction from their mission.
Thank you Gaetz!
Just shaking having my head in amazement....the air force is doing a nose down dive to destruction.
We are in alot of trouble.
I don't want to be seen as a black man, but don't forget that I'm black.
As if people really can't see it and they need affirmation that you do.. some fragile shizz right there
you gave me whiplash.
Please! Somebody Flush! The stench is overwhelming.
Language. Changing it, making it into a weapon is part of the building blocks of socialism/communism.
Nailed it. The Left are the champions of language manipulation. They invent terminology and change the definition of words to defend false narratives.
