🚨 MIC DROP MOMENT from Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) — a Black conservative who just ended the race-baiting game: “As a direct descendant of a slave… as someone whose great-great-grandfather was born on a plantation… I can assure you: SLAVERY IS OVER. Jim Crow is DEAD. When I walk anywhere in America, I don’t see ‘Whites Only’ signs. I promise you — they’re gone! I’m a Black man representing a white majority district in Texas. The great-great-grandson of a man born in bondage stands before you today as a proud conservative Republican from the Lone Star State! As a follower of Christ and a believer in what this country can be when we embrace true equality — not division.” This is what real progress looks like. No victimhood. No grift. Just American excellence. Who else is tired of the left acting like it’s still 1860? Drop a 🔥 if you’re with Rep. Hunt! 🇺🇸 #WesleyHunt #BlackConservative #AmericaFirst #TrueEquality #EndTheGrift #Republican #Conservative #MAGA #Trump2024 #Patriots

Hello you American beauties 😍 @highlight Just something I've always wondered. 🤔 Can someone explain something for me? First, I've always hated "Political correctness" especially in regards to labeling American citizens. We use universal understanding of colors, to help describe our worlds in every single thing except "PC" labeling of minorities in the US. I find it to be extremely racist, divisive and segregatory . But for those that embrace that, or are too scared to use descriptive words,such as colors, evenly in conversation. I have a question. If a Black man from France, comes to the US, and is standing on the street. How would you describe him? No contact just viewing from a far. ARE you still going to refer to them as "African-American" ? And if so, obviously,you'd be Completely wrong and come across as extremely judgemental and ignorant. Right? Or if you go outside of the US, what do you refer to other ,black, human beings as? Surely you don't call them African-American in Germany or Japan? Right? Do y'all just freeze and not talk or something ? Or do you just say "I saw a man". In other countries? And, If so, why go out of your way to only label,American,black people? I'm So confused. are y'all confused? Why do y'all seem to only want to separate and segregate the American, black community? As a possible witness, if a cop asks you to describe the getaway car, that was a couple of blocks away. And it's a black car. As a descriptor, would you choose to speculate and say "well,I think it was an Italian car, but I have no way of actually knowing that"? Would that be helpful? Or would you say "it was a black car" the only, indisputable and provable fact? We are all humans,and, if in the US , legally, we are all just American citizens of varying pigments, hues and beautiful colors. Embrace them.🤗 And Love them. Don't segregate ,discriminate or separate. We are America 🇺🇸 Love y'all ❤️ @thejessie07 @SteveWi54640116 @ScubaSteve026 @Tinkerton #IndependentMind #FaithOverFear. #trueequality #LiberatedNotLiberal #hope #StarkvilleMS #starkvegas #StriveToRise #WalkAway #knowledgeispower #love #SpeakUp

🚨आज के 'दलित' ब्राह्मण हैं — टॉयलेट साफ करते, रिक्शा चलाते, फिर भी कोई स्कीम नहीं!🚨 दिल्ली की गलियों में, UP-बिहार के गाँवों में, आज भी हज़ारों ब्राह्मण परिवार सुबह उठकर टॉयलेट साफ करते हैं, सिक्योरिटी गार्ड बनकर खड़े रहते हैं, या रिक्शा खींचकर परिवार चलाते हैं। पटेल नगर, दिल्ली में 50% रिक्शा वाले ब्राह्मण हैं। वाराणसी में भी ज़्यादातर रिक्शा-पुलर ब्राह्मण ही हैं। आंध्र में 75% घरेलू नौकरानियाँ और कुक ब्राह्मण हैं। पुराने स्टडीज़ बताती हैं — कई जगहों पर ब्राह्मणों की गरीबी राष्ट्रीय औसत से 10% ज़्यादा थी। आज भी सैकड़ों परिवार मजबूरी में ये काम करते हैं। फिर राजनीति क्या करती है? इमामों को मासिक भत्ता। कुछ कम्युनिटीज़ के लिए स्पेशल स्कीम्स। अलग-अलग कोटे, अलग-अलग योजनाएँ। लेकिन गरीब ब्राह्मण? गरीब पंडित? उसकी सुनने वाला कौन? कश्मीरी पंडितों का दर्द — पूरा देश जानता है। उनके साथ नरसंहार हुआ, घर छूटे, पीढ़ियाँ बिखर गईं। फिर भी उनकी पीड़ा पर वोट बैंक की राजनीति हुई, असली मदद नहीं। मुद्दा जाति से नफरत का नहीं। मुद्दा जाति का नहीं। मुद्दा है — गरीबी देखकर मदद करो। जाति देखकर नहीं। यही सच्चा सामाजिक न्याय है। यही सच्चा भारत बनना चाहिए। जब तक मदद जाति के चश्मे से दी जाएगी, असली बदलाव नहीं आएगा। क्या आप सहमत हैं? गरीबी इंसानियत के नाम पर देखी जानी चाहिए, न कि जाति के नाम पर! शेयर करो अगर आप भी मानते हो — सबके लिए बराबर मदद! #RealSocialJustice #BrahminPoverty #ReservationReform #GareebiJatiNahiDekhti #KashmiriPandits #TrueEquality

“Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao” — absolutely. Education and safety are non-negotiable. But empowerment should build stronger partnerships, not narratives of exclusion. Independence does not mean irrelevance of the other gender. Equality works when both stand respected — not when one is dismissed. Progress is coexistence, not competition. source- @SamSiff #GenderBalance #MensRights #TrueEquality #MutualRespect #EqualStandards #PartnershipNotConflict

Domestic violence is treated as gender-specific, while reality is not. Equality cannot be selective. Protection cannot be one-sided. Justice cannot depend on gender. Men are not asking for special rights. They are asking for equal protection, equal voice, and equal dignity under the law. @WomenBeingAwful #MensRights #GenderNeutralLaws #EqualRightsForMen #DomesticViolenceAgainstMen #JusticeForMen #StopMaleAbuse #EndGenderBias #TrueEquality

🚨Exposing @Starboy2079 's Misleading Thread on Constitutional Equality!🚨 Starboy claims: "No govt can EVER give exclusive benefits to GC since no such class exists in Constitution." Biggest LIE! We EXIST in the nation, and here's why his logic crumbles: 1️⃣ Entropy Effect: Just like entropy turns "normal" systems backward over time, GC folks can become economically/socially disadvantaged due to life’s chaos (job loss, inflation). Denying us targeted schemes ignores this—violates Article 14's true equality! 2️⃣ Periodic Table Parallel: 80% metals are SOLID at room temp (normal rule), but exceptions (liquid like mercury) are RARE (~20% or less). Yet, in India, "equality exceptions" (reservations) cover ~80% population (SC/ST/OBC/minorities), while 20% GC gets NOTHING targeted. Exceptions becoming the RULE is ILLEGAL & UNFAIR! Constitution evolves (EWS proves it). Time for NEED-BASED justice, not exclusion! #ReservationReform #TrueEquality #MeritMatters @neha_laldas @GC_Revolution @bhav_pn @treeni @thatindicmonk
People should understand that equality is one of the most basic principle of constitution Govt has to do equally for every one but constitution allows few exceptions 1. Protected class: SC/ST 2. Economically backward class 3. Socially backward class 4. Minorities It means if govt wants, govt can do special for them but GC don't come in these three exceptions So even You become PM and you want to do sth for GC, there is only one way and that is through Universal schemes and that's I mentioned in my article No govt can never ever give exclusive benefits for GC since there is no such class exists in constitution Modi or any PM has to work under ambit of constitution

🌟 Lord Jagannath’s Mahaprasad — It’s not just food… it’s living proof of TRUE EQUALITY & socialism! 🌟 Have you heard the mind-blowing story? Shri Lakshmi herself went to a Chandalini’s (outcaste) home and ate there… and Lord Balaram got so furious He threw Her out of the temple! 😲 In anger and grief, Lakshmi left, smashed every oven in the temple, emptied the granary. Jagannath & Balaram — the two divine brothers — had to beg for food in disguise. A dog ate their rice. Wind blew it away. The sun scorched them. Finally, exhausted, they reached the same Chandalini’s home… and ate her simple khichdi, vegetables, and special pitha with tears of realization. 🔥 Lakshmi returned — but only with strict conditions (still followed in Puri today): - No high-low discrimination inside the temple! - Everyone sits on the ground, side by side, eating from the same leaf-plate! - Food from a Chandala home is never rejected! - If a dog touches the prasad while eating, chasing it away is a great sin! This Mahaprasad is literally mega-socialist! 🕉️✊ Real equality started RIGHT HERE 5000 yrs back — long before Venezuela, Cuba, Lenin or Che Guevara. India’s greatest socialist leader? Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the living philosophy of Jagannath way of socialist life! Is Jagannath’s Mahaprasad the world’s FIRST message of true equality? Comment below & share so more people know — the real revolution began in Puri! 🚩 #Jagannath #Mahaprasad #EqualityForAll #SanatanDharma #PuriTemple #RealSocialism #Odisha #LakshmiPurana #TrueEquality

🚨"MLK's Dream Is Under Attack—From the Left AND the Grievance Industry. Time to Reclaim It."🚨 I am deeply grateful for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s courageous stand against Jim Crow segregation. He fought for justice with unmatched moral clarity and paid the ultimate price. As Christians, we can honor his heroic legacy while rejecting aspects of his personal theology and life choices. That doesn't diminish his impact—he remains one of my greatest heroes. Dr. King inspired my own path in politics. Contrary to claims that his dream was about one party 'owning' Black Americans, he envisioned true equality: a nation where people are judged by character, not skin color—where Black and white could walk hand in hand, even marry freely, without fear or barrier. His dream wasn't about reverse racism, identity division, or perpetual grievance. It was about brotherhood, integration, and justice for all. Today, on this MLK Day, it's heartbreaking to see America more radically divided than ever. The left attacks his colorblind vision, while even parts of the Black community push ideologies that echo the very segregation he dismantled. We need to reclaim Dr. King's true dream: not division, but unity. Not judgment by race, but by character. Let's honor him by living it out. #MLKDay #IHaveADream #TrueEquality #CharacterNotColor

"Equity" projects pour billions into urban fixes, but rural America—mostly white families in forgotten towns—gets left in the dust. No studies, no real ops. Facts: Rural kids hit 22.9% poverty (vs urban 17.7%), yet snag just 16.2% of school funds. Internet woes? 24% rural vs 13% urban. Psych access? 65% rural counties have ZERO docs. College? Only 59% enroll post-HS. Time to fund ALL gaps, not just the spotlight ones. #RuralEdCrisis #TrueEquality

Dear Fred, OH, THE IRONY OF SOMEONE CALLING PETE HEGSETH A "WEAK SMALL MAN" FOR IMPLEMENTING THE EXACT POLICY THAT WILL IDENTIFY AND REMOVE WEAK MEN FROM COMBAT ROLES. THE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Let me walk you through what you apparently missed while crafting your outrage tweet about "removing women from roles they have fought to gain." Hegseth's directive establishes ONE GENDER-NEUTRAL STANDARD for combat positions. Not "male only positions." Not "excluding women." ONE OBJECTIVE PHYSICAL STANDARD THAT APPLIES TO EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF GENDER. You know what that means, Fred? It means CAPABLE WOMEN WHO MEET THE STANDARD WILL SERVE IN COMBAT ROLES. And INCAPABLE MEN WHO DON'T MEET THE STANDARD WILL BE REMOVED. The policy LITERALLY states: "If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent, but it could be the result. So be it. IT WILL ALSO MEAN THAT WEAK MEN WON'T QUALIFY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT PLAYING GAMES." So your claim that this is about "removing women" is FACTUALLY INCORRECT. This is about removing INCAPABLE PEOPLE - male or female. Some women will excel where men fail. Some men will excel where women fail. THE STANDARD DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE BASED ON GENDER. IT DISCRIMINATES BASED ON CAPABILITY. Here's what you're actually upset about: For years, standards were LOWERED to meet diversity quotas. Different physical requirements existed for men and women, and we pretended they were equivalent when they objectively weren't. Women were meeting a FEMALE standard while men were meeting a MALE standard, and then both were placed in the same combat roles where CAPABILITY determines survival. Hegseth is saying: NO MORE SEPARATE STANDARDS. One high standard. Gender-neutral. If you meet it, you're in - male or female. If you don't meet it, you're out - male or female. And you're calling this "removing women from roles they fought to gain"? WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY SAYING IS THAT WOMEN CAN'T COMPETE ON EQUAL TERMS. You're arguing that women NEED lowered standards to qualify. THAT'S THE SEXIST POSITION, FRED. Let me tell you something about those women who "fought to gain" combat roles: The truly capable ones WANT this policy. They want to know that everyone around them met the SAME STANDARD. They want to serve alongside warriors who are OBJECTIVELY QUALIFIED, not people who squeaked through on quotas. You know what undermines women's accomplishments? When standards are lowered to let them pass. When people whisper, "She only made it because they changed the requirements." When male soldiers question whether their female teammates are truly capable because they met a different standard. THIS POLICY ELIMINATES THAT DOUBT. Women who meet the standard will have EARNED it on exactly the same terms as men. No asterisks. No qualifications. No "well, she met the female standard." Just: "SHE MET THE STANDARD." But here's where your tweet gets particularly rich. You claim "Pete isn't a Ranger because dozens of women are." WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT? Hegseth served 20 years including combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Are you suggesting that women becoming Rangers somehow DISQUALIFIES his service? By what twisted logic does that work? And then you call him a "weak small man" for... implementing a policy that will remove WEAK MEN from combat positions? Do you not see the contradiction? He's literally ensuring that weak men WON'T serve in combat roles, and you're attacking him for being weak? THE IRONY IS MAGNIFICENT. Let me be crystal clear about something: I spent 23 years as an Army medic serving alongside men and women in combat zones. I've seen women who could outperform men physically and mentally. I've seen men who couldn't hack it. The CAPABILITY matters. The GENDER doesn't. What Hegseth is doing is establishing TRUE EQUALITY: one objective standard that applies to everyone. Women who meet it will serve with distinction. Men who don't meet it will be removed. THIS IS WHAT EQUAL TREATMENT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE. You want to know what "tearing down accomplishments" actually means? It's when standards are lowered to meet diversity quotas, and then everyone questions whether accomplishments were EARNED or GIVEN. It's when capable women are lumped in with less capable ones who only qualified because requirements were reduced. THIS POLICY VALIDATES CAPABLE WOMEN. It says: "If you can meet the highest standard, you BELONG in combat roles - not because of your gender, but because of your CAPABILITY." The women who will qualify under these standards won't need anyone defending them or making excuses for them. They'll be OBJECTIVELY QUALIFIED warriors who met the same requirements as their male counterparts. Their accomplishments will be UNQUESTIONABLE. But apparently, Fred, you don't think women can compete on equal terms. You think they NEED separate, lower standards to succeed. You're arguing that holding women to the same standard as men is "removing" them from combat roles. THAT'S THE SEXIST POSITION. Not Hegseth's policy of one objective standard for all. Here's what this really comes down to: The military's PRIMARY FUNCTION is not social engineering or equal representation. It's WINNING WARS with minimal American casualties. That requires THE MOST CAPABLE WARRIORS regardless of gender. If capable women can meet the standard, OUTSTANDING. They should serve. If incapable men can't meet the standard, they should be removed. If some combat roles end up with no women because none currently meet the standard, that's not discrimination - THAT'S OBJECTIVE QUALIFICATION. And here's the beautiful part: As women become STRONGER and more CAPABLE through training, more will meet the standard. The path forward isn't LOWERING the bar - it's RAISING women up to meet it. That's ACTUAL empowerment, not the participation trophy feminism you're advocating for. So before you call someone a "weak small man" for implementing policy you clearly don't understand, maybe consider that TRUE EQUALITY means ONE STANDARD FOR ALL. Not different standards that we pretend are the same. Not quotas. Not preferences. CAPABILITY. PERIOD. OH, AND FRED - SINCE YOU'RE SO CONFIDENT CALLING HEGSETH "WEAK" AND "SMALL," HERE'S A PUBLIC CHALLENGE: LET'S SETTLE THIS WITH AN ARMY COMBAT FITNESS TEST (ACFT) COMPETITION. YOU VERSUS HEGSETH. TELEVISED. PUBLIC. THE FULL SIX EVENTS: DEADLIFT, STANDING POWER THROW, HAND-RELEASE PUSH-UPS, SPRINT-DRAG-CARRY, LEG TUCK, AND TWO-MILE RUN. We'll see who the "weak small man" really is when you're both held to THE SAME OBJECTIVE STANDARD. Put your physical capability where your Twitter fingers are, Fred. If he's so weak, this should be easy for you, right? NAME THE TIME AND PLACE. I'LL MAKE SURE IT'S BROADCAST SO EVERYONE CAN WATCH YOU BACK UP YOUR WORDS. Or will you suddenly discover that calling someone names on social media is easier than actually demonstrating superior physical capability? WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE, FRED. THE CHALLENGE IS PUBLIC. THE WORLD IS WATCHING. The women who meet this standard won't need your defense, Fred. They'll be too busy EXCELLING in combat roles they EARNED on exactly the same terms as everyone else. #OneStandardForAll #CapabilityNotGender #TrueEquality #MilitaryExcellence #StrengthKnowsNoGender #MeritMatters #CombatReadiness #EarnedNotGiven #ObjectiveStandards #DefendTheCapable

Dear Aaron, HOW FASCINATING TO WATCH YOU CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS OVER DEFENSE SECRETARY HEGSETH'S ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESTORING COMBAT FITNESS STANDARDS. SUCH OUTRAGE OVER... LITERALLY JUST WANTING THE PEOPLE WHO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY TO BE PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF DOING THEIR JOBS. Let me break down what you apparently find so offensive: the Secretary of Defense announced that combat Military Occupational Specialties will return to the highest male standard only, because COMBAT IS LIFE OR DEATH. Not feelings. Not diversity metrics. Not participation trophies. ACTUAL SURVIVAL. Here's what Hegseth actually said, since you seem to have missed it while crafting your outrage tweet: "This is not about preventing women from serving. We very much value the impact of female troops. Our female officers and NCOs are the absolute best in the world. But when it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be HIGH and GENDER-NEUTRAL. If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent, but it could be the result. So be it. It will also mean that weak men won't qualify because we're not playing games." Notice the key phrase there? GENDER-NEUTRAL. ONE STANDARD FOR EVERYONE. This means some females WILL meet the standard while some males WON'T. THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT. You're acting like this is about excluding women, when it's actually about INCLUDING ONLY THE CAPABLE - regardless of whether they're male or female. There will absolutely be women who can meet this standard while weaker men cannot. There will be fit, strong, capable women who CRUSH this standard and serve with distinction in combat roles. And there will be men who fail because they aren't physically capable enough. THAT'S HOW STANDARDS WORK. When your battle buddy is dragging you to safety under enemy fire, you don't care about their gender. You care whether they're PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF SAVING YOUR LIFE. Period. A strong woman who meets the standard is infinitely more valuable in combat than a weak man who doesn't. THIS IS WHAT EQUALITY ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE. But let's talk about what happened when we went the other direction, shall we? When the Obama administration opened all combat roles to women in 2015, standards were quietly lowered to meet diversity quotas rather than maintaining ONE HIGH STANDARD. Army Ranger School changed its standards. Marine Corps infantry training modified requirements. Why? Because the goal shifted from "who can do the job best" to "how do we get the numbers we want for political optics." Instead of ONE STANDARD that both men and women must meet, we created DIFFERENT STANDARDS and pretended they were equivalent. That's not equality. That's participation trophy culture that gets people killed. I spent 23 years as an Army medic. I served in combat zones where I watched soldiers depend on each other for survival. Want to know what matters in those moments? WHETHER THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU CAN PHYSICALLY DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. Not their gender. Not their feelings. Their CAPABILITY. I've seen women who could outperform men physically. I've seen men who couldn't hack it. The standard doesn't care about your chromosomes - it cares about your CAPABILITY. And that's exactly what Hegseth is restoring: ONE OBJECTIVE STANDARD that doesn't discriminate based on gender but DOES discriminate based on physical capability. Here's a revolutionary concept that apparently escapes you: THE PURPOSE OF THE AMERICAN MILITARY IS NOT TO PROTECT ANYONE'S FEELINGS. IT'S TO PROTECT OUR REPUBLIC. It's to be the most LETHAL FIGHTING FORCE IN THE WORLD. And you don't achieve that by having different standards for different people. The standards aren't being raised to "keep women out" as you're desperately trying to imply. They're being raised to ONE UNIVERSAL LEVEL that keeps EVERYONE who isn't physically capable out - male or female. Some females will excel where males fail. Some males will excel where females fail. THE STANDARD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GENDER. IT CARES ABOUT CAPABILITY. What's particularly rich is watching progressives like yourself suddenly pretend to care about military readiness when you've spent years advocating for policies that WEAKENED our armed forces. You celebrated DIFFERENT standards for different genders. You cheered when generals prioritized diversity over lethality. You applauded when "sensitivity training" became more important than combat training. And now that an administration is saying "maybe we should have ONE STANDARD FOR EVERYONE and let capability determine who serves in combat," you're scandalized. How dare they treat men and women equally by holding them to the SAME OBJECTIVE MEASURE! Let me ask you something, Aaron: If YOUR son or daughter were in combat, would you want them surrounded by people who met ONE HIGH STANDARD regardless of gender? Or would you want them surrounded by people who got into that unit because we had DIFFERENT standards that allowed less capable individuals - male or female - to qualify? Because here's what actually gets people killed: MULTIPLE STANDARDS. Not one high one that applies to everyone equally. This isn't complicated. Combat arms positions require extreme physical capability. The enemy doesn't care about your commitment to diversity. They care about KILLING YOU. And our military's job is to be so overwhelmingly superior that we win decisively with minimal American casualties. That requires THE MOST CAPABLE PEOPLE - whether they're male or female. A woman who can meet the standard is MORE VALUABLE than a man who cannot. A man who can meet the standard is MORE VALUABLE than a woman who cannot. SEE HOW THAT WORKS? IT'S BASED ON CAPABILITY, NOT GENDER. But I understand why this bothers you. You've built your entire brand on performance outrage, cherry-picking clips, and manufacturing controversy. Actually analyzing what "gender-neutral standard" means doesn't drive engagement quite like screaming about "EXCLUSION" and "DISCRIMINATION," does it? Maybe between your outraged quote tweets and hot takes, you could consider that every NCO serving in combat roles is APPLAUDING THIS DECISION. Why? Because they understand something you clearly don't: ONE HIGH STANDARD FOR EVERYONE - MALE OR FEMALE - SAVES LIVES. The military isn't a social experiment. It's not a place to have different rules for different people. It's an organization tasked with DEFENDING AMERICA AGAINST ENEMIES WHO WANT TO DESTROY US. And that requires ONE STANDARD applied equally, where the BEST rise to the top regardless of what's between their legs. Some of those best will be women. Some will be men. THE STANDARD DOESN'T CARE. And neither should you. You want equality? GREAT. THIS IS TRUE EQUALITY: ONE STANDARD FOR ALL. The highest one. Not separate standards based on gender where we pretend they're equivalent when they're objectively not. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to meet the standard. EQUAL RECOGNITION when you do. EQUAL DISMISSAL when you don't. No rush responding though. I'm sure you're busy crafting your next outrage tweet about how ONE OBJECTIVE STANDARD that applies equally to both men and women is somehow discriminatory. Maybe between your performance art and virtue signaling, you could learn what actual service members think about this policy. HINT: THEY LOVE IT. Because they know that capable women who meet the standard are ASSETS, and incapable men who don't are LIABILITIES. The standard is the standard. Gender is irrelevant. CAPABILITY IS EVERYTHING. #HighStandardsSaveLives #OneStandardForAll #CapabilityNotGender #MilitaryExcellence #TrueEquality #LethalityMatters #DefendTheRepublic #StrengthKnowsNoGender #MeritBasedForce #ReadinessFirst
