Tommy Tuberville Says US Wouldn’t Be Able to Take on China Because of ‘Wokeness’: ‘We’ve Got People Doing Poems on Aircraft Carriers’
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 stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons...

Patton was a poet
Many military leaders were. It's a lot easier to rouse your men if you have a way with words.
Fucking Cervantes was a badass marine who was shot three times in the battle of Lepanto, twice in the chest and one in his hand, which he lost. He was very proud of his military career, and considered th battle of Lepanto one if not the highlight of his life. He went on to write one of the most important novels of all times, Don Quixote, many others, as well as copious poetry.
If Cervantes were alive and heard this, he would probably beat the crap out of this asshole with his lame hand.
Tolkien was writing poetry in the trenches. The tradition of writing poetry in your spare time while serving in a military is probably as old as poetry itself.
Fuck Tuberville. UnAmerican blowhard asshole. Probably being blackmailed by someone.
Patton was a lot of things. Poet. General. Abusive asshole. Dumb enough to sincerely suggest putting the Nazis back in power and the Jews back in the camps. Car enthusiast. Woke sure as hell wasn't one of them.
