Let’s hear it for Vox for coming through with the hot Memorial Day take nobody needed:

The Marine Corps has a "toxic masculinity" problem https://t.co/fEXzlzKcsZ pic.twitter.com/aoWfggWG2z

Nothing is sacred. Not even on Memorial Day:

There’s a “toxic masculinity culture” in the Marine Corps, James Joyner, a professor at the Marine Command and Staff College, told me.

That may be what is at the core of the women-in-infantry debate among Marine ranks: the identity crisis of a historically macho club now being forced to let in women.

Now that the Marine Corps must allow women to serve in combat roles — and is putting out recruiting commercials highlighting that fact — it tears at the social fabric of the service. That has led many to act out, some anonymously, online.

And what, pray tell, has led Vox to think this drivel was worth publishing?

Alex, it's Memorial Day. You chose this day to publish a hit piece on the Marines. Be ashamed, if that's possible for you.

Seriously? Give it up, guys. @Slate already has the market for SJW-nonsense cornered. https://t.co/B5OzeuA74P

Vox has a lack of understanding of anything military. https://t.co/31ElgRvI46

Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure the Marine Corps is supposed to be both masculine and toxic https://t.co/kyxNkBgcVu

That you would choose to post this today says more about you than you will ever realize.

Oh well. Silver lining?

With Vox, we all can find common ground… Against Vox.

Annnnd an exit idea:

The Vox staff should all enlist and solve this problem. https://t.co/ax9k5Dog5u
