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.

It’s over Johnny...IT”S OVER!
THAT is entrusted with making rules for the military? THAT is going to order that every team have the requisite black/latino/gay/trans? Insanity. Any foreign dictator who was thinking of invading the USA is now going to make definite plans, because the Special Forces will be arranging the doilies on their dressers and picking out new curtains.
My gaydar is on full alert. What about yours?
I sincerely hope our ‘armed’ forces don’t have to do any heavy lifting in the foreseeable future.

He certainly looks fit. I bet Mr. Richard Torres-(taco-bell) Estrada could tackle a dozen tacos in one sitting and not leave a single taco alive.
Even has a hyphenated last name.
