Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) told Fox News that the United States would not be able to confidently take on China due to "wokeness" in the military.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons...

I guess he doesn’t like the national anthem then, which is a poem written during war
- He only likes it if it means the start of a football game.
  
  Tuberville seems like he gets offended when the NFL wears pink to support breast cancer awareness.
- And written by a Socialist
  
  It was Key, not Keyes, and his relationship with slavery was complicated. Far more so than many of his contemporaries.
  
  I didn't say he was a socialist, I said his relationship with slavery was complicated. Which it was, as you can see if you just read that part of the Wikipedia entry.
  
  Ok, and the comment I replied to said a thing about a man whose name you got wrong which is not as black-and-white as you make it out to be. You don't get to be free from criticism yourself, sorry.
  
  Again, I never said he was a socialist.
  
  To the tune of an old British drinking song for a gentlemen's club.
