Pentagon top brass pleased with Carlson exit – Politico

Senior Pentagon officials have welcomed the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News, Politico has claimed. Carlson regularly criticized the US military’s diversity and inclusivity policies, claiming they were imposed at the expense of battle readiness. He also criticized the Pentagon for undermining US fighting capabilities for the sake of ideologically-motivated inclusivity, imposed under pressure from President Joe Biden’s administration. In a March 2021 segment, Carlson blasted the introduction of flight suits for pregnant aviators, suggesting that Washington was heading in the wrong direction – unlike its rival Beijing. Carlson responded to the reported glee at his departure by saying, “Ha! I’m sure.”
