"The safety and security of the American people is our top priority," Johnson said at a news conference, noting that he expected a "large" vote in favor of the legislation. "And this year's NDAA ensures our military has the resources and the capabilities needed to remain the most powerful fighting force on the planet."

The Louisiana Republican also touted the controversial provisions, including how the legislation restricts gender-affirming care for children of servicemembers and halts funds for the teaching of "critical race theory" at military academies. He said House Republicans "gutted the DEI bureaucracy" with the bill.

The provision, which applies to the military's health care program, outlines that medical intervention "for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization may not be provided to a child under the age of 18."

Smith said the stipulation "injected a level of partisanship not traditionally seen in defense bills."

"Speaker Johnson is pandering to the most extreme elements of his party to ensure that he retains his speakership. In doing so, he has upended what had been a bipartisan process," Smith added. 

 

If I recall, many people on this board who are on the left and the right, seem to be in agreement that they should stay away from kids.  Of course, the far leftists of the crowd are fine with that, but I believe that is the minority.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

With that being said, Adam Smith's last statement implies that this is a far-right stance.  If that's what he thinks, I think we can all agree that he is a far leftist.
