I enlisted in the AF in the early 80’s. DEI was part of the BS back then. I saw blacks and women getting passed through all the training programs just so the AF could say they had blacks and women in the AF. I saw training programs passing flunkies just so they cold say they had a high pass rate. I saw women getting promoted through STEP programs just so the commander could say he has promoted women. That crap started long before the 80’s too.

I’m older than you and can attest that this crap started in the latter half of the ‘60s and grew bigger in the ‘70s. It’s a true cancerous monstrousity now consuming our civilization.
