These days I’ve been watching Fox Information Channel greater than normal. I’ve seen Jesse Waters (who changed Tucker Carlson, who changed Invoice O’Reilly) utilizing a phrase loads: military-age males. He invariably makes use of it to consult with immigrants, usually unlawful immigrants.
Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit additionally did it not too long ago.
Once you observe the males they’re speaking about, simply as a lot about these males as Waters, Reynolds, et al do; in different phrases, not a lot.
They might simply as simply go to UC Berkeley, wander across the campus, and see that 90% or extra of the males there are “military-age males.”
However they don’t consult with male U.S. school college students that method.
So why do they consult with immigrants as “military-age males?” I feel it’s to subtly plant within the listeners’ minds the worry {that a} hostile overseas authorities is sending these males right here to assist them take over or a minimum of someway undercut American society.
May a considerable p.c of those military-age males be precise navy personnel, however in disguise? Certain, they may. However it appears unlikely.
Occam’s Razor applies right here.
The more-likely clarification is that they wish to get the hell overseas they’re from becuase this nation (the US) is a lot much less oppressive and so a lot better in different methods. In reality, it wouldn’t be completely stunning if a few of these military-age males had been fleeing conscription. That was a robust motivator for his or her counterparts who got here right here between 100 and 150 years in the past.
