Bill Maher hosted retired General Stanley McChrystal, discussing President Trump's stance against transgender people, particularly in the military. McChrystal criticized Trump's attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies, asserting that in a military setting, the focus should be on capabilities rather than identity. He argued that effective teams encompass diverse individuals, highlighting that operational success in the Pentagon relies on merit instead of conformity to specific profiles. Maher and the panel engaged in a robust discussion about these issues, reflecting the ongoing debates within American political discourse regarding identity and military readiness.
If you think of the Pentagon in general We've got to defend the nation. And that's very, very serious business. It's expensive, it's across the world.
It was the ultimate meritocracy. But the reality is, it's a team, and that team that does it is communicators and logisticians. Intelligence professionals.
