many, many, many black and brown enlisted people that fight in this nation's wars, that carry out dangerous missions that people like Donald Trump would never go on, right? But spare me the tributes and the platitudes and the pablum about the U.S. military. If you're willing to run a bus over C.Q.
Brown on behalf of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump and their so-called anti-woke agenda, just sit out the next, you know, fucking Veterans and Memorial Day speeches about the U.S. military because you just insulted every member of the United States military, not just the black and brown people, the white people that serve alongside them. How are you going to have cohesion?
