Diversity is a number - do you have people that don’t look or think like you in the room? Inclusion is listening and valuing those people.

#WomensEqualityDay reminds us we’re smarter and more lethal when we come together as an inclusive, cohesive team. Our values demand it.

It is truly shocking to me. I can only imagine what our enemies see.

None of these are Marines, fairly certain without being able to zoom. And NONE of any of them would be currently at Kabul airport.

So, maybe this SMA could show photos of the very diverse body part distribution from a totally idiotic SecDef Army operation guided by demented and “woke” leadership.

The purpose of our military is to defend Americans, their lives and the Freedom of our Constitutional Republic.

Diversity as a career path that is “faaaaaaairrrrr”— what absolute idiocy long detached from the purpose of our forces. Sickening.

Back in the day it was about not looking at the person next to you and seeing their skin. It was about seeing the uniform. That’s all you needed to know and care about.

When I was active duty, I looked into ‘diversity’ and made mental notes about minority percentages.

1. Combat arms (calvary, infantry) 2 to 5%
2. Support units 30+%
3. Financial and clerical offices 90+%
4. Supply/logistics 50+
5. Tank ??

This was 30 yrs ago and others might have different figures. This was just within my sphere.

"He’s a sergeant. He says what the officers above him tell him to say. You really think he is allowed to tweet whatever he personally thinks, as representative of the Army?"

He's not just a 'sergeant," he's the Sergeant Major of the Army. He has over 30+ years of service. If he doesn't agree with what he's saying/tweeting he can always retire in protest.

That means he either agrees with this garbage, or he is refusing to voice dissent in lieu of pursuing personal ambition. In either case, both are worthy of derision and contempt.

Jeeeee-zus, all I can say is thank God I served before all this deranged crap got introduced. I’d be written up on insubordination charges in less than a day.

“I watched a ballgame recently. Nine straight commercials with blacks.”

I have noticed the same thing with commercials for the last couple of years.....some Whites but no Hispanics or Asians. Someone coming to the U.S. would think our population was made up of 50% Blacks according to our tv shows and commercials.

Back in the day, we were all green. No other colors. We were all put through the same crap and had to meet the same standards. The best rose to the top.

no more I guess.

He’s the Sergeant Major of the Army, the senior most enlisted man there.

In the Navy, he’d be Master Chief Petty Office of the Navy (MCPON), and again, the highest ranked enlisted man there.

Well we know now what is most important to the United States Army. Winning Wars. Forget it.

This BS is why we are losing. It infects every level of the Armed Forces and US Government. We are doomed if we don’t rip it out, root and branch.

God rest the souls of the troops who died today. God bless and help America.

The inmates are running the asylum, that's for sure. I hate to say it, but years ago I advised both my kids not to enlist in the the military. I could see then the way it was going -- I can't believe how right I was.

I can only hope that at some point sanity will return and these organizations are once again worth the sacrifice. Right now, forget it.
