That ignorant, drunken, talk-show-host, rapist Sec Def is systematically purging the military of women. I’m sure he’d be fine with keeping them around to cook and clean. Maybe they can do some clerical work. But that’s about it. After all, if you don’t have a penis there’s really not much you’re good at (except for, well, you know.)

They’re just making it impossible for women to pursue their careers:

Everything was set for the Navy officer to take over a new role that would have capped an already distinguished career— and made her the first woman in a Naval Special Warfare command overseeing Navy SEALs.

Ranked the top officer for promotion in her cohort, she received a Purple Heart after being injured in an IED attack during a combat tour in Iraq. She then became the first woman to serve with SEAL Team Six in the role of troop commander, one of several senior positions within the squadrons that make up the elite naval unit.

A formal ceremony marking her new position was planned for July. Invitations went out two months in advance.

But just two weeks before the ceremony, her command was abruptly canceled with little explanation, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. The decision didn’t come through formal channels but by a series of phone calls from the Pentagon, one of the sources said. The circumstances were unusual and seemed designed to omit a paper trail, according to multiple sources.

Under the Navy’s “up or out” policy, with no command slot to take, the officer’s more than two-decade military career was effectively over.

Everybody knew it was Hegseth. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t want any women in leadership roles (or really, in the military at all.)

1. It has taken women decades to get to the top leadership positions in the military.

Starting as junior officers and working their way up the ranks in the face of opposition all the way.

And now they are being tossed out.

Words cannot express how I feel about this.

2. I have...

Two words, I can only use one of them which isn't sufficient.

3. There is no profanity equal to the task at hand here.

4. Neither are profanity...

But the two together could be criminal.

5. These people are making so many enemies every day.

You are probably not the only person thinking those same words.
