After appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight, conservative radio talk show host Jesse Kelly is now under fire for controversial comments deemed by critics as racist, sexist and homophobic.
How it started: Carlson took a swing at Adm. Christopher Grady, who was appointed vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Dec. 17. Carlson addressed Gradys claim that he would value working with the militarys gender advisors if confirmed, according to Rolling Stone.

This guy claims to be an admiral, the television host said of the newly appointed officer. The question really is: Will the gender advisors [who] Christopher Grady is in favor of make our military better?
Carlson then turned to his guest, Kelly, and asked him if more gender advisers would help the U.S. military compete with its Chinese counterpart.

Which would be perfectly honorable if he weren't thinking it was clearance to opine on everything under the sun. If it's not about a mortar team, who care what you think, fella?

He is saying he wants stunted man-boy psychos in the military - "killology" graduates that can carelessly justify shooting six-year olds and rape of females who don't "respect" them.
He used to play this "support our homeless vet patriots" locally, but he has never really seen soldiers and sailors as real people and never really cared about what made them unable to function or addressed the problems that are part of the military in the first place.
And the BS about always pregnant military females - oye. I've seen studies in the 90's where females are less likely to miss duty or deployments than young males for sick call issues over a 4 year enlistment, even taking into account issues with menstruation or pregnancy.
More young men call in sick due to alcohol, parties or other young man foolishness than the same percentage of young women for any reason whatsoever. And those young men typically have chronic issues by the time they hit the end of their enlistment, basically wasting whatever training the military invested in them. And these are the guys Kelly wants in society after a stint in the military? Or is he talking about making young men who aren't already set for life disposable?
