Strap in, because this episode is about to get PETTY. If you were looking for professionalism, turn this off now.

🔥 Why DEI, risk aversion, and “woke generals” have made the military weaker.
🔥 The Air Force’s insane focus on diversity quotas instead of combat effectiveness.
🔥 Behind the scenes of leadership failures that no one else will talk about.
