Pentagon Training Manual Singled Out “White, Heterosexual, Christian” Men

FROM THE ARCHIVES: In 2013, I received a controversial 600-plus page manual used by the military to train its Equal Opportunity officers teaches that “healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian” men hold an unfair advantage over other races, and warns in great detail about a so-called “White Male Club.”

“Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege,” reads a statement in the manual created by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI).

The manual, which was obtained by the Todd Starnes Radio Show, also instructs troops to “support the leadership of people of color. Do this consistently, but not uncritically,” the manual states.

The Equal Opportunity Advisor Student Guide is the textbook used during a three month DEOMI course taught at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. Individuals who attend the training lead Equal Opportunity briefings on military installations around the nation.

The 637-page manual covers a wide range of issues from racism and religious diversity to cultural awareness, extremism and white privilege.

I obtained a copy of the manual from an Equal Opportunity officer who was disturbed by the course content and furious over the DEOMI’s reliance on the Southern Poverty Law Center for information on “extremist” groups.

“I’m participating in teaching things that are not true,” the instructor told me. He asked not to be identified because he feared reprisals.

“I should not be in a position to do that,” he said. “It violates Constitutional principles, but it also violates my conscience. And I’m not going to do it – not going to do it.”

Illustrating once again why the founders insisted on someone who was NATURALLY an American.

Being unhealthy or being a typical female is good during a draft if you don’t want to get shot at. So there seems to be an unhealthy female privilege as well.

He did everything he could to weaken us in every way possible. Both parties were complicit in allowing it to happen and heads should have rolled for it. But most of all, we can all thank our local democrats in the voting booth in November by voting for NONE of em...not even for dog catcher.

Is the term “collective mind” an oxymoron?

As a career military guy, I can attest to the fact that the Leftists have for decades been attempting to infiltrate the military as they have so many institutions.
They concentrate their efforts in the Officer Corp. in fields of administrative/policy responsibility.

Ah, the EXACT opposite of Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama. What a surprise. Not. Everything Barky was not.

(hey it may be coincidence but the pic I was looking for has been deleted - so this one instead)

Yep, this is Obama's work. He chased out many of the top officers to replace them with people who would willingly follow his orders.

FTA: I called former Congressman and Lt. Col. Allen West (ret.) to get his take on the manual. In a nutshell – he wants a congressional investigation.

“This is the Obama administration’s outreach of social justice into the United States military,” he told me. “Equal Opportunity in the Army that I grew up in did not have anything to do with white privilege.”

West said he is very concerned about the training guide.

“When the president talked about fundamentally transforming the United States of America, I believe he also had a dedicated agenda of going after the United States military,” he said. “The priorities of this administration are totally whacked.”

West said the DEOMI manual reminded him of a similar program inflicted on the military by President Clinton.

“They came down with a new training requirement called, ‘Consideration of Others Training,’” he said. “The soldiers were supposed to sit around and go through vignettes and talk about their feelings.”

Any NatGeo show about critters in the wild shows us that unhealthy, sick, or weird critters that can’t keep up with the healthy, strong ones get picked off first by the enemy.

As our “betters” flip “normal” natural selection on its head in order to satisfy the insane new “normal”, aren’t we setting ourselves up for our own destruction? Just saying.

That is an uncanny resemblance.
He looks nothing like the Kenyan he says is his father.
It would also make him a natural born citizen if born in the USA.

Putting unhealthy mentally ill people into our military wasn’t to make us stronger.

Obama was the enemy agent the founders tried to prevent with the natural born citizen clause.

It would destroy a huge part of the many myths of that Manchurian Candidate.

It’s beyond obvious they are hiding many things about him.
