    I don’t know why you need a military task force to monitor genitals

      Because there are a lot of people obsessed with other people’s genitals who are currently unemployed. Find the job you love.

    Great plan… use diversity training as a tool to identify generals who might not be loyal, purge them and put stooges in place. This has worked out really well for Russias military.

      This working out great for the Russian military could be the reason behind the plan.

    Can you fucking imagine clocking into work at the Anti-woke Task Force office? Wearing an Anti-woke Task Force uniform??!!

    This might be my halloween costume…

      If it’s an Anti-woke uniform I imagine it’ll have a vinyl window over the crotch so everyone can see that you’re going into the bathroom that matches your genitalia. And of course it’ll have a flame thrower so you can burn all the books. You’ll probably need the skin color chart from Family Guy; better add grey and green on there to identify the extra-terrestrial aliens. Don’t forget your shoes must have heels because all the best Anti-woke crusaders wear heels!

      Hmm, what else…

        The window over my genitals must reveal my chastity cage, obviously.

    Let me guess. D.O.G.E - Department of General Endorsement.

      If you ask for repeatedly less gut, will it cut a person in half?

      He wants to fire the military and replace it with loyalists. Can’t coup without a willing military. He gets in, that move will be paramount.

      Just another of his blunders, that’s a move you wouldn’t announce ahead of time.

        This general has a 3rd cousin who’s friends with a gay person. He’s woke by association! The whole bloodline is woke! You’re fired!

    He wants to have the military be controlled on his every whim. Expect those that don’t comply (and didn’t in 2020) to be labed as woke and removed.

    I hope by that point if that happens I know our armed men have been trained to not miss…

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
