TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): And yet, every time I hear a debate in Washington from the Obama administration about the military, it's always about how do we make the military more inclusive to previously excluded populations. How do we integrate women into combat units, how do we make it safe for transgenders? It does seem like they view the military as a social experiment and an employment program, and not primarily as a deterrent force.

OLIVER NORTH: Well I'm not even sure it's a employment program. I think it certainly is a radical social experiment, they're treating the military like lab rats. And meanwhile, the best military that's ever existed in any part of the world at any time, which is the one we have today, they're better trained, better led, brighter, better educated and more combat experienced than any military force in history. Alexander the Great's hoplites weren't as experienced as these guys are, and we're getting rid of them left and right because of that social engineering that they're doing. It's crazy, brother.

TUCKER: It's got to be so depressing if you're actually serving right now.
