Clay Higgins: An Effective Military 'Requires Discrimination'

[@kimocoloma4123]

My sentiment exactly. I'm a U.S. Army Veteran 2x a warrior. We looked at each other as American Warriors and nothing else. We did whatever it took to protect our country and freedom around the world.

[@nickdippold2258]

And most important, we looked out for each other.

[@milibibi2152]

The rest of the World don't want your "freedom". Leave us alone. The US is the agent for international chaos.

[@fernandocarmona3785]

We went to the shit , and partook of it together

[@RonaldHill-wo3yb]

exactly sir why does everything have to be race baited you did not do that in the military.you watched the soldiers backs not the all for one crap.and yes congressman higgons is right on what he is saying 110 percent.

[@Tom-hz9oc]

We all knew that there were gay soldiers, and we knew who they were. We didn’t care. They did their thing, we did ours. But we’d defend them the same as we’d defend anyone else!

[@mikeburke1993]

Why does Clay Higgins ALWAYS, I mean, Always say the right things, and so eloquently.

[@heystarfish100]

Because at heart he is a Patriot. 🇺🇸

[@leealan6416]

One reason. The man is a realist.

[@yahuahisking5483]

He’s from my state! He’s been this way since he came on the scene at the sheriffs department. He’s a beast!

[@leealan6416]

@@yahuahisking5483 A man who says what needs to be said. Real men know when they need to speak up. In the Military, not all men need to be beasts, but without those beasts, your military is useless. A military beast can also be good person with genuine feeling and empathy. Clay is one of those men that is alpha male and a nice man rolled into one.

[@Anasazibean]

Absolutely God damn right!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@ramonaritz7815]

I love Clay Higgins‼️✝️🛐🇺🇸

[@lukasm8990]

And you’re what’s wrong with America! He never voted for a bill that helped American vets. In fact he voted against them.

[@charmcrackermusic4250]

He so greatv

[@LeeToddpeapod]

@@lukasm8990he did vote for David duke to be governor of Louisiana

[@richardwiese9054]

As a retired Navy chaplain with 25 years of military service, this is spot on!!

[@Roger-fs5yo]

I just turned 46 and I never served but I wanted to. Only problem is I'm not the most athletic person in the world and probably would not have made it. I mean of course unless the U.S Military is gonna be like them veterans in Starship Troopers and would find something dumb for me to do. You know? If I just HAD to join🤣

[@FatherOfTheYear1]

Clay Higgins has to be one of my favorite conservatives right now! Im from Washington State as well.

[@NeldaRingsborg-io2ly]

RESPECT AND RECOGNIZE CLAY HIGGINS. THANK YOU SIR AMEN

[@cottonp20]

Mr. HIGGINS, again you have made the best description of being a soldier in the United States ARMY! It didn't matter what the guy next to you was in civilian life, only that he was going to do the job NO MATTER WHAT! THANKS AGAIN!

[@bsr6823]

Bravo to this amazing man. Perfectly said sir.

[@mikelee9886]

Listening to Clay Higgins makes me wish I joined the Army back in the 90s lol. NO MORE MARXISM IN THIS COUNTRY

[@johnwobma6532]

Rep. Clay Higgins speaks with clarity and conviction! Additionally, he uses discernment when it comes to drawing lines of distinction! He is passionate! 🇺🇲

[@jonathanmarvens]

Hilarious speech! I fully agree with him though. That nonsense has no business in our military.

[@bddmhopp5]

What exactly is hilarious?

[@Anidawehi]

The guys speech proved to everyone that there are Nazis in our government.

[@fernandocarmona3785]

The audacity of the progressive ideology that our opponents do not have . They are laughing at the American population fighting over how many genders and pronouns exists.

[@lesseirgpapers9245]

Lets get rid of the military. In 1960 it cost 1,4 billion now it cost 860 billion. And all they do is war crimes starting illigal wars like Iraq and Lybia. They hate America!

[@GSPfan2112]

Its not funny at all. Its truthful and alarming. Your sense of humor is weird.

[@nickpavlovich2312]

CLAY HIGGINS IS A NATIONAL TREASURE. THANKYOU SIR.

[@raven14810]

the military made me a much better person than i would have been had i not enlisted . i can't imagine where i would be today had i not been in

[@christyherkel4215]

Me too !

[@resistdespots4911]

Absolutely! There _are_ good types of discrimination as well as bad. This is one example of good discrimination: the fit and able are used to get jobs done.

[@Johhny_McMerica]

Except that's not the issue here. Clay, of course, is twisting the issue. Whether he actually knows the difference, I don't know.

[@alroth6308]

yes discrimination against democrat mediocrity and incompetence is required for success (not the democrat definition of "success" being a total cluster eff as with the afgan withdraw)

[@baaamakingbaaaa]

Recruitment videos when growing up in the 80's used to say, "Go see the world! Blow shit up!" Now the recruitment videos say, " I watched my mom marry her gay lover. I can do anything!". True story.

[@stephenking1494]

Mr. Clay Higgins, you sir are a good man and a patriot, thank God we still have a few good ones left!

[@vection2249]

He’s absolutely correct about the brown rounds melting you down and remolding you into a soldier. When I joined the Army in 2006, I was skater and a stoner with long hair. When I graduated basic and went back home all my friends and family were in complete shock that I was the same person that left for Georgia 3 months prior. Clean cut, clear eyes, composed and professional.

[@rhondakaissi8052]

Thank you congressmen Clay Higgins for always speaking the truth , and for all your hard work .

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

Discrimination meaning selecting the best candidate for each and every position without regard for race, creed, color, or religion.

[@kimocoloma4123]

REQUIREMENTS OR QUALIFICATIONS IN OTHER TERMS.

[@ISayNukem]

Every word is correct.

[@tatsuyashiba5911]

Joined in '14, left in '21(ironically) and what Higgins say is on the money.

[@regzzuse280]

Everything he said is correct in a sane world, but I don't know how it will fly nowadays.

[@kimocoloma4123]

That is the reason why recruitment is a big problem. The sad part is this people turn a blind eye on the issue. They give their lame excuses and try to stay far away from it. Look you have to recognize the problem in order for it to be solved. Face it head on.

[@lancelotdufrane]

Can’t say, how refreshing it is hear a MAN speak with absolute logic and patriotism. THANK YOU Sir! Your bravery is inspiring.

[@MilePost106]

He is spot on! I served in 1980 and we never ever thought at one point who is the person next to me. We went in and got our dose of medicine and this crap today I discourage anyone from joining! My grandfather was a commanding officer in WWII and the Korean conflict and if he were alive today he would lose it seeing what is going on in the military.

[@mitzi1905]

Mine too.

[@bgreen3670]

That's why they waited so long to go through with this. They would have been shut down immediately.

[@GaryVaporwave]

our family goes back 3 generations on both sides.. Couldn't tell my son to enlist, and it killed us.

[@ritatharp5238]

Representative Clay Higgins thank you for your service. My brother was army military police and also he boxed for the army. I agree with you, DEI has no place in the military, in our healthcare as doctors, our airplane pilots, our traffic controlers, etc... all those jobs need to be merit based or experience or knowledge based, not DEI.

[@adrienneanderson-smith2257]

EVERY job should be merit based! Sometimes oddity, attitude or race are merits. Just NOT in the military!

[@lesseirgpapers9245]

Thank you for destroying America? Lets get rid of the military. In 1960 it cost 1,4 billion now it cost 860 billion. And all they do is war crimes starting illigal wars like Iraq and Lybia. They hate America! Eisenhower clearly stated that MI complex was toxic for America and that was 1959.

[@Relayer56]

I love this country (which is different that loving the government). I proudly served my country. But, I could not serve under this current woke establishment/regime. The military is in a very sad state now. Thank you Clay Higgins for you service and your conviction.

[@davidmommerency4589]

I agree . When I was in the army. We were taught to be hard. We had all ethnicities in our company. But not once did I or anyone else I knew look at that. We were brothers and sisters. Period

[@justinrogers1575]

Clay Higgins is 100% correct. Towards the end of my Marine Corps career the caliber of boots coming in were subpar.

[@cliffordbaste2702]

"Lead the way Rep. Clay Higgins!"

[@samiam93]

Speaking the truth here.

[@davidreynolds6477]

God bless Clay Higgins

[@tobyeperkins697]

I love this guy! He gets it! I think discernment might be a better word. However I get why he used discrimination. He turned the left’s word ( always used with negative connotation) into a correct use with a positive connotation! Thank you sir!😊

[@jeq1966]

Nice and true and to the point. We don’t need a weak military!

[@nordan00]

USAF SAC/ACC Cold War-Gulf War vet, here. I would not under any circumstances recommend to any young person that they join any branch of today’s US military. Not under the diverse band of feckless civilian and military midwits currently running things. If anything, they’ve put the nail in the coffin of the notion that diversity is necessarily a strength. But they have proven that, regardless of skin tone, religion, or sex, only intelligence, ability, and competence should matter.

[@kimocoloma4123]

I feel the same. '82nd Airborne Paratrooper 2x a warrior. U.S.Army Veteran but I would not serve under WOKE DRAG QUEEN MILITARY. They discharged 6500 Military personnel who opposed the Covid Vaccine mandate which now didn't/couldn't stop transmission. Democrats refused to enlist them back but Republican Congress trying with payments.

[@Deejack27]

Perfectly said ❤

What a perfect definition of what it is to be a soldier from this Congressman ‼️ Certainly would want him on my team.

[@Terminal-Vet]

A-Freakin-Men, Brother!! That is the whole purpose of recruit training. I have a natural birthday when my mother bore me, but I was born the day I earned the title of United States Marine! It has defined who I am in life. Every male in my family (except my gay-liberal brother whom still I love) has served this country since we immigrated here from Sicily over a hundred years ago. That is a lot of veterans. I served for fourteen years, through five deployments all over the world, and I have lost more friends that I care to mention. I have two sons and two daughters. I do not want any of them to join this current military. No way in hell. From this Marine grunt to the Hon. Mr. Higgins... Semper Fidelis, Brother!

[@ronnieterry4916]

Congressman Higgins is absolutely correct. I also served in the US army as a draftees. I served one year in South Vietnam in I Corp . Diversity in the military will not make for the best military force. The current military in our country is less effective than in past years.

[@anthonydooley3616]

To join the military you must be 18-35, high school graduate, score high enough on the ASVAB, pass a background check, pass a physical examination, and in some cases obtain a security clearance. All of those things discriminate. 85% of Americans walking around today do not qualify to join a branch of service. We are the best because we require the best. And you have to volunteer.

[@1SGPARKER]

As an old retired Army 1SG, Airborne Infantryman let me agree with Rpe. Higgins. Combat isn't for every Tom, Dick, and Harry. It is for the select few with the moral and emotional structure to destroy the enemy. Not an easy task to accomplish, I might add.

[@Zoe-c9z]
