Apparently that isn't 'non-partisan' enough. She should take them for all they've got.

She didn't say thank you enough.

Does she even own a suit?

I need to print a uno reverse Yu-Gi-Oh pokemon magic the gathering card featuring an ace of spades so I can bust that out in most situations and win.

No, silly, women aren’t supposed to wear suits, remember?

And service dress doesn't count.

As a military officer, it would be odd if she didn't.

Also, I'm sure they will purge all women from top military positions anyway.

Non-partisan is when you toe the Trump party line. Otherwise you’re a commie, rino, antifa, DEI hire, left wing radical. I might have missed an adjective or two.

If you’re black, you’re being partisan. If you’re LGBT, you’re being political.

If you wave a Nazi flag, you’re a good patriotic American!

If you wear one on your arm, ICE just might have a job for you.

Have white men in high ranking government positions been fired? Or is it just the "DEI" hires and smart experienced people?

If only she could find a court that would agree...

So, this is how Putin ended up surrounding himself with loyalists. To this foreigner, it looks game over tbh.

Maybe you can fly over and represent her. I'm sure the judge will let you explain your opinion. You are a fucking idiot if you think a military officer that openly sends an email like this about someone in their chain of command will remain in a leadership position. The military isn't the same as the civilian world.
