Back To The Porch With Mamaw | Devil's Cut

You know, what bothers me most is, oh, what's going on with Petey Pie? I don't, maybe he needs some mammal time.

That's all I got to figure.

But how are we going to keep women and people of color engaged in our military if they see the glass ceiling, if they're just not making any bones about it? This far as you're going to go, you're not going any further.

Well, I think we've lost a lot of leaders already.

Absolutely.

And we've lost a lot of good talent, potentially even a generation of good talent.

Yeah.

And when I think about folks who are still in, and I do get the question asked to me, what would you say to women and persons of color in the military right now? I would say, if you can stay in, stick it out.

Your country needs you.

And this will pass.

This poor leadership will pass.

That's my hope.

I've had two women friends that have gotten out that should have stayed, but they just said, nah, too lucrative of jobs out in the civilian world.

But I'm like, I'm looking at with what's going on.

I just wrote a story based on my husband's time in Vietnam.

He was a teenager.

He was 17 years old.

If we're this depleted, you and I both know the draft is a real possibility again under this regime.

So we're going to send children again.

Over into a war zone, but they're not going to have those great leaders.

They're not going to have the leaders that they'll follow through the gates of hell.

They're going to have Pete Hague says bullshit and the people that he's decided to keep.

And I've got a grandson that's 18 and one that's 16.

So it's very real to me what not having a good leader that looks out for your kids that you're sending there that are suddenly going to become adults.

I'm just going to scream to the high heaven.
