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.

So, for every heterosexual that is killed, the enemy will then have to kill a homosexual to even it out?
So we have political commissars in the military now.
We’re boned.
Yes, the US want the diversity officer to sit down with the enemy and ask if he was treated with any bigoted and racist words? Was there a safe room present? What color and sexual preferences does he have and what should they call him? Were there any micro aggressions he was subject to.
Political officer.
The Dems think this should be commonplace.
Diversity and Inclusion
Oxymoron!
Did he used to post on FR as ferret, and later hobbb ?
PU
This is all going to end in a war which will go badly for us, I’m afraid.....
Yeah. That’s one of the reasons I have gone from being a hawk to a raging peacenik.
