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):

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,

They need to concentrate on keeping the ships from colliding with other ships.
I want to unsee those photos!
“ableism”
WTF? You better be “able” to open a breach, load bags of powder, etc. or your ship won’t be “able,” to survive.

All one has to do is to take a long look at the officers Annapolis is turning out. They are not selecting based on the best qualified, but depend on racial& gender makeup. God help us.
“I have news for the author of this piece, I was in the USAF from 1977-81, and it was beginning to happen even then. It really became “Woke” under William Jefferson Clinton with policies like “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
I will admit, however, that Obama was successful in purging the command ranks of conservatives, and promoting a new “woke” command staff.”
Yep. I posted this yesterday on a similar article:
“I spent 20 years in the Navy from 78-98. Affirmative Action for black African Americans, and a few years later females, was going full speed ahead the whole time I was in. It’s never enough. After 40 years they are still not satisfied.”
I hope the LGBQxyzers, black “folk” and Hispanics are ready to volunteer to fight the next war because white boys ain’t gonna do it...
“Fire control! Launch a sharply worded memo at that Chinese cruiser! Use the scented stationery!”
Now that’s a face that could make a steam locomotive take a dirt road.
NOT my Dad’s(supply O-6), or my(blue water), or or my daughter’s(airdale) navy. We all joined the real Navy. Not the current woke a joke panderbear group. Sad and dangerous.
China is going to blow the c—p out of the Navy in the Pacific.
Where’s pete’s pic? Oh. DUH! He/she/them/they/zem/zey are ‘sec of transPORTATION’. Wrong trans.
Oh pleez...I was just about to eat.
Every person on the planet is the same race, Human.
Yes, even liberals, although they are the apparent less intelligent, more pathetic example.
We’re all different shades, because just like cars, pizza, and anything else, there’s a variety on purpose. Who’d want to eat just cheese pizza, or drive a Tesla (or worse, a GM), for the rest of their life?
I really am sick and tired of this crapola.
After the new & improved Shellback ceremony the participants walk funny for a week.
