What Underlies the G.O.P. Commitment to Ignorance?

As everyone knows, leftists hate America’s military. Recently, a prominent left-wing media figure attacked Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declaring, “He’s not just a pig, he’s stupid.”

Oh, wait. That was no leftist, that was Fox News’s Tucker Carlson. What set Carlson off was testimony in which Milley told a congressional hearing that he considered it important “for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and widely read.”

The problem is obvious. Closed-mindedness and ignorance have become core conservative values, and those who reject these values are the enemy, no matter what they may have done to serve the country.

GOP is the Party of Stupid.
 
I could swear I have read a few posts lately, by leftists, about how the military will follow orders.............so apparently leftists don't want the military to be open minded either
 
"Right-wingers have gone all in on ignorance, so they were bound to come into conflict with every institution — including the U.S. military — that is trying to cultivate knowledge."

How odd. I don't believe that at all. In fact, I've seen several Reichtards, possibly you yourself as well, claim that come your much longed-for civil war, that the military will be on your side and will gun down and/or lock up all us traitor "libtards." LWers have claimed that the military will not follow unlawful orders. For instance, to gun us down in the streets.
 
"Thus, to be a Republican in good standing one must deny the reality of man-made climate change, or at least oppose any meaningful action to limit greenhouse gas emissions. One must reject or at least express skepticism about the theory of evolution. And don’t even get me started on things like the efficacy of tax cuts."
