Air Force Announces It Will Mandate Diversity Quotas In Candidate Pools For Key Positions

The Air Force announced a new set of 13 inclusion initiatives Friday with the goal of ensuring the force isn’t as white, male and heterosexual as it is now.

Air Force officials are intent on building upon a foundation of nine initiatives from 2015, in order to boost diversity.

Those nine initiatives weren’t enough to make the Air Force as diverse as desired, which is why it is taking more intensive steps in 2016.

The first new initiative mandates that at least one diverse candidate will have to be in the running for important developmental positions like aide-de camp, senior enlisted advisor and executive officer, among other roles.

Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James put down her foot and said she wants to make the demographics of the service match more closely with the changing demographics of America.

BTW, Ms. James has NO Air Force or Military background.

That doesn't make any sense at all, militarily or otherwise, only the left can think like this, and it's sole purpose is to destroy this country.

Well, it’s only fair that we have at least one oriental male-to-female transgender in the US Air Force. Gotta have at least one of everything, you know.

You’re absolutely right.

“Diversity” is just another name for quotas. It will dilute the level of excellence.

Sooner than later we will be taken over by any society that puts merit first and embraces reality.

Well hell, let's just turn over the jets and the missiles to Mexico now.

Debbie does DC, and boy did she do it to them.

All white people should start identifying themselves as “Black” on all racist government documents.

Overwhelm the system.

Well, you see, you're using oldthink, where "best" means defending the country in a superlative manner. George Orwell has taught us that "best" in newthink means whatever Big Brother says it means. And today, "best" means being the most diverse, regardless of military outcome.

It's all much easier when you simply throw your brain away.
