One of Obama’s most consequential acts was to purge the Pentagon of leaders who did not subscribe to a woke, leftist philosophy. For more than a decade, the military has been at least as dedicated to implementing social justice principles as it has been to achieving military readiness. The latest manifestation of this trend is the Final Report from Task Force One Navy (TF1N), the goal of which is to “embrac[e] Inclusion and Diversity.”
The Navy created TF1N on July 1, 2020, at the height of the George Floyd riots. The purpose was to “dismantle barriers to equality while creating sustainable opportunities, ultimately achieving our desired end-state of warfighting excellence.” The resulting 141-page final report is filled to the brim with this same perky, leftist, verbose corporate jargon, interspersed with military acronyms and cant. There are also 338 iterations of some variation of the word “diverse.”
To serve on TF1N (undoubtedly a resume enhancer), members were required to take a pledge. It’s not about country or service; it’s about touchy-feely social justice (emphasis mine):
[PLEDGE POSTED BELOW]
The implication of the report’s jargon and cant is that the Navy is a bastion of White supremacist domination. (That explains the Defense Secretary’s military-wide stand-down to purge “White supremacists.”) However, it’s noteworthy that 76% of the Navy’s personnel are White and 75% of its officers are White. In other words, perfect representation.
The “problem” is that non-whites and women aren’t in the officer ranks in proportion to their population. The report says Blacks are 13% of the demographics, but only 7% of the officers; Hispanics have an 18%-11% breakdown; and women are at 51%-22%. Meanwhile, Asians overachieve by having a 6% presence and a 7% officer representation.
There are lots of recommendations. As always in matters of race,

I pledge to be actively inclusive in the public and private spheres where I live and work, and proactively encourage others to do the same.
I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy.
I pledge to engage in ongoing self-reflection, education and knowledge sharing to better myself and my communities.
I pledge to be an example in establishing healthy, inclusive and team-oriented environments.
I pledge to constructively share all experiences and information gained from activities above to inform the development of Navywide reforms.
Attention wokesters: virtue signaling is not virtue and it could get you killed and your country lost to invaders.
The Asian numbers prove that it isnt some kind of whites only club.
How can a group of highly educated people be so staggeringly stupid?

That would be a most unwelcome egrefactor!
I think the Village People had a song about this.
We’ve already had sabotage on a nuclear submarine in Florida and the amphibious assault ship in San Diego.
I pledge when captured by an enemy to break down in tears while confessing my crimes and answering all questions asked of me to the best of my knowledge.
I will admit, however, that Obama was successful in purging the command ranks of conservatives, and promoting a new "woke" command staff.
No offense to the few officers here on FreeRepublic that are patriots but the vast majority of officers I interacted with were political butt kissers who would do anything to get ahead.
Especially the ones who had been in for a while.
No one can change these neo-religionist neo-Inquisiton zealots.
All we can do is ignore them, and not change ourselves in any way.
Never recant. Establish boundaries. Know what to tell them.
Be ready to know when martyrdom really matters: when they come for Christianity.
Until then, maybe we can “coexist”.
And PS military officers are not race or class representatives. They are commissioned to derefend the constitution in their capacity as military officers, e.g. managers of violence in combat against an enemy.
Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large numbers.
The one in the third picture (Edward Long, pretending to be Jennifer Long) is my town (Kearny NJ); a few years back there was a story of the “transition” (I believe he was in charge of the local VFW) then it quickly died - don’t think the normal veterans were too happy with it. They basically were pretending a female vet was leading the local chapter (as a feminist story) - but it was a dude “playing girl”.

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond," Biden said in a statement.
