Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently appeared as a guest on the "Dear America" podcast hosted by Graham Allen, a conservative media personality, and said that the military needs more toxic masculinity.
Greene discussed how the government has "purged the military," to which Allen, a U.S. Army veteran, responded, "The warriors are leaving."
"Absolutely, why do they want to be there?" Greene replied. "They're going through woke training. Their toxic masculinity is completely not accepted, even though, what are the military for?
"I would think toxic masculinity would be a number one requirement."
Allen smirked and agreed with Greene, adding, "You would think when you're being shot at, you could care less about those things."
"They should be like, 'Are you a toxic male? Yes? Please sign up,'" Greene laughed in response.
The topic of toxic masculinity came up in conversation while the two talked about COVID-19 vaccination requirements for the military and law enforcement. Allen mentioned he has a couple of friends still in the military that may get kicked out because they've refused to get vaccinated.
Allen went on to bring up the police footage from the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and wondered how many police officers in that department left or were kicked out due to not getting the vaccine.
"My argument is, I wonder if the outcome would have been different if we wouldn't have lost all of our warriors. Well now you have to ask the same question about our military," Allen said.
He then mentioned low recruitment retention numbers in the Army, and how they may cut the size of the Army. The conversation went into toxic masculinity as Allen asked Greene how the military could potentially look with reduced numbers, or a lack of "warriors."
