On Friday, the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) announced its first-ever chief diversity and inclusion officer, Richard Torres-Estrada, and the announcement prompted a backlash from social media users questioning the hiring decision.
In an Instagram post, SOCOM said, “On Monday, March 1, 2021, USSOCOM welcomed its first-ever Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Mr. Richard Torres-Estrada. Mr. Torres-Estrada has nearly two decades worth of experience working diversity and inclusion programs and activities in federal agencies. Mr. Torres-Estrada’s arrival corresponds with the publication of the USSOCOM D&I Strategic Plan, which will guide the enterprise-wide effort to institutionalize and sustain D&I. We look forward to Mr. Torres-Estrada’s contribution in enhancing the capabilities and effectiveness of #SOF through diversity of talent, helping us recruit the best of the best.”
SOCOM didn’t specify specific initiatives Torres-Estrada would be involved in, however, diversity and inclusion officers typically focus on inclusion of LGBTQ and minority personnel.

He ain’t even military...HTW can he/she be called an “Officer”???????????
All being done purposely because our political class decided to sell us down the river while attaching themselves to the Deep State oligarchy. We are so screwed as a nation!
Massive cuts are coming to the military, and those with years of experience will be cut. Those left remaining will be those in favor of the Obama regime.
The Democrats still hate the military so they want to shrink it in size. They may still also go for that “civilian force” that Obama was hinting about.
That is queer as a three dollar bill or my name isn’t Sequoyah.
Political commissar. Has to have an agenda because nobody with any self-respect would ever take the job otherwise.
Yeah, this is the end of the special forces being exemplary. And if you disagree, you’re not familiar with diversity and inclusion officers in academia and corporate America.
This is so insane. SF have one mission and di will not help one bit.
Practically assured with this regime and SecDef.
WTF?
This sure does sound like a Kommissar.
They got kids that can barely hold an AK marching through the streets. Teaching them how to cut someone’s throat.
We have this.
We are done.
A “diversity and inclusion” officer is the new name for the old fashioned Bolshevik Commissar. He is responsible for the correct Communist mindset in his assigned military unit and stirves to identify and force out those he deems to be counter-revolutionaries. He determines who the good comrades and bad comrades are.
The enemy is in the CP, from the White House on down to every department in the government and will be coming to your children’s and grandchildren’s classroom in the near future, IMHO.
“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,” Casey said.
