This is the intersection of DEI & war, and is therefore fascinating. She was made an officer & promoted to general because she was a woman. No combat-related anything in her career. The key to the DEI mindset is the "magic" credentials that are themselves given on DEI grounds.

Take the Manchester Arena bombing.
The state gave the bomber's parents asylum despite their "extremist views". The Royal Navy rescued him from from Libya where he'd fought in the civil war. And it paid benefits to his mother in Libya which he used to buy the bomb's components.

You can think the Channel stunt was reckless. You can think masked intimidation on the street is unacceptable.
None of that gives No. 10 the right to pre-load a jury with a label before the evidence is heard.
A fair trial means the state proves the charge in court, not on a Sunday sofa. If the case is strong, prosecute it.

Why is the public response so different?
▪️ July 2026 - 12 arrests, counter-terror investigation: “credible extreme right-wing terrorism-related threat.”

Major Bourke describes his quarters at Camp Grant, Arizona during the Apache Wars: packed earth, Navajo rugs, Apache trophies, specimens of local wildlife, and a full set of Spanish armor, pulled off of a skeleton resting in the desert between the Pecos and Rio Grande…
They wanted (and still do) 18 year olds kicked out of college for saying this stuff as a teenager. But it’s perfectly acceptable for their national candidates. These people are scum.
