When Diversity is cited as an objective, Chaos is the true goal.

Excellence must be the priority.

Diversity is an obstacle to that priority.

There’s no need for “diversity agents” to try and manipulate the composition of our armed forces, sacrificing our effectiveness in pursuit of fairness, under the guise of enhanced increased capability.

This push to increase diversity is only getting worse, as I think everyone recognizes. I want to see a spokeshole begin a sentence with, "We need increased diversity in this organization because..." and give a good reason--one other than "fairness" or "inclusion." For example, for the DoD, "We need increased diversity in the Department of Defense because..." and give a very specific reason. I've never heard any specific reason given. Ever. The only thing I can conclude is what my common sense tells me: It's all bullshit.

‘Diversity agents’ = ‘Zampolits’ (ie. ‘political officers’ in USSR parlance)

Step 2: cut 50% or more of the staffers that work for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Do these five people really need 800 people for each Chief?

Step 3: retire every general/flag officer who is more than 4 years removed from a troop assignment. There are no George Marshalls in that group, but Courtney Massengales that were put there by Obama.

Diversity = all people compelled to think and act exactly the -by force if necessary.

I’d eliminate the hundreds, of not thousands, of Majors and LTC that are ‘Deputy Assistant...whatevers’ with 6 staff and nothing really to do. The USAF is loaded with officers with long titles and no responsibilities.

“expert at the Pentagon on the diversity of commando forces” — since when did the U.S. military need an expert on diversity of commando forces?

Here is what I want in my Commando Forces.
Tough
Mean
A huge desire to kill as many of the enemy as possible.
That is all the diversity I want............
