If I were Secretary of Defense, here’s the FIRST position I’d eliminate
Allen B. West - Steadfast & Loyal ^ | August 10 , 2015 | Allen West

There’s no need for “diversity agents” to try and manipulate the composition of our armed forces, sacrificing our effectiveness in pursuit of fairness, under the guise of enhanced increased capability. And what’s most disconcerting is the infiltration into the military of this ill-conceived mindset — namely the Pentagon joining in on this folly. The statement from an “expert at the Pentagon on the diversity of commando forces” — since when did the U.S. military need an expert on diversity of commando forces? I can tell you right now, if I were Secretary of Defense, that’s the first position I’d eliminate! The deduction of this so-called expert — “the lack of minorities robs the military of skills it needs to win” — is utterly disrespectful to the men and women serving, sacrificing and committing themselves in fighting for this nation today.

When Diversity is cited as an objective, Chaos is the true goal.

Excellence must be the priority.

Diversity is an obstacle to that priority.

So goes for the whole country. I have argued for years against this mind-numbing drive to import anybody and everybody. Diversity is not the key to success in any endeavor. We put men on the moon with a largely white man scientific community using slide rules and pencils. What has NASA done since?...

This push to increase diversity is only getting worse, as I think everyone recognizes. I want to see a spokeshole begin a sentence with, "We need increased diversity in this organization because..." and give a good reason--one other than "fairness" or "inclusion." For example, for the DoD, "We need increased diversity in the Department of Defense because..." and give a very specific reason. I've never heard any specific reason given. Ever. The only thing I can conclude is what my common sense tells me: It's all bullshit.

‘Diversity agents’ = ‘Zampolits’ (ie. ‘political officers’ in USSR parlance)

NASA had an administrator who latched on to the Global Warming nonsense as a means to fund satellites to monitor whatever....before the data gets manipulated.

” Mr. President , you are under arrest , you will come with us “

But that would decrease diversity in the White House. We need diversity in the White House. Why? Ummmm....

Step 2: cut 50% or more of the staffers that work for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Do these five people really need 800 people for each Chief?

Step 3: retire every general/flag officer who is more than 4 years removed from a troop assignment. There are no George Marshalls in that group, but Courtney Massengales that were put there by Obama.

I’d eliminate the hundreds, of not thousands, of Majors and LTC that are ‘Deputy Assistant...whatevers’ with 6 staff and nothing really to do. The USAF is loaded with officers with long titles and no responsibilities.
