LINK Rafael Edward Cruz is Now Totally Cool with Trolling the Military
Rafael Edward Cruz wants to be president. Badly. So badly, in fact, that he's willing to mock the US military to own the libs. Or something.
On Thursday, Cruz retweeted a TikTok video that purports to contrast a Russian Army ad with an American Army ad.
The Russian ad shows a muscled guy with a shaved head doing pushups and loading a gun. The American ad -- which is mostly a cartoon -- tells the story of Cpl. Emma Malonelord who says she was "raised by two moms," graduated at the top of her high school class and then found "a way to prove my inner strength" by joining the Army.
To the original tweet, Cruz appended this: "Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea."
Which, well, what?
Malonelord would seem to be someone that the military would -- and should -- point to proudly, a high achiever who found her calling in serving the military.
Is Cruz's problem that she is a woman? Or that she has two mothers? Or that the ad was animated? (The Army released five similar ads in recent weeks, telling the stories of five people who joined up. All are animated.)
What exactly is "emasculated" about Malonelord or her story? If you take the dictionary definition of the word, what is "made weaker or less effective" by Malonelord being in the Army?
And, while we're at it: When did it become OK for a sitting US senator -- and a Republican, no less! -- to mock an active member of the military? Aren't politicians like Cruz always telling us that our troops are the bravest among us? How does Malonelord being a woman or having two moms change that?
"Holy crap," tweeted Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth 
, herself a decorated military vet, in response to Cruz. "Perhaps a U.S. Senator shouldn't suggest that the Russian military is better than the American military that protected him from an insurrection he helped foment?"
Cruz, of course, knows exactly what he's doing. He is very interested in running for president in 2024 -- witness his recent trip to pay homage to former President Donald Trump -- and knows that attacking the "woke" left is a sure-fire winner among a GOP base that responded fervently to Trump's urgings that the country needs to get stronger and tougher.

Cruz isn't the only one mocking the Army's 'woke' recruiting ads.
Public reaction is so negative to the ads the GoArmy YouTube channel had to shut off public comments.

Interesting that the Right-Wing is now the anti-military party.
Oh piffle. My children, and I, and my forbearers have served in the military for at least a century and a half.
If Democrats want a military for social experimentation and serving canapes at cocktail parties, then yes Republicans are against it.
@timon_phocas "a military for social experimentation" I bet you were against allowing Black people and women from serving.
Sorry guy, that happened in the administration of Harry Truman. It was Wilson who didn't want Black's to serve and FDR who only let them serve in segregated units.
As for women serving, I was commanded by women, I commanded women and served alongside women. They ran the gamut from outstanding to pathetic, just like men.
@timon_phocas not sure what your first comment is supposed to mean? I am not talking about Democrats or Republicans. Black people and women being added to the armed forces was considered a "social experiment" just as much as adding LGBTQ people. If Republicans are against it, that means they are against it all.
How exactly is a woman serving destroying the military? How does being raised by two moms affect military aptitude? Please defend Rafael's statement in the context he provided.
