Many of us here with at least half of a functioning brain tied behind our back, asked the same question.

What the hell does this B$ mean?:

“I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every sailor in the Navy. I pledge to engage in ongoing self-reflection, education and knowledge sharing to better myself and my communities. I pledge to be an example in establishing healthy, inclusive and team-oriented environments. I pledge to constructively share all experiences and information gained from activities above to inform the development of Navy-wide reforms.”

Reread this pledge and think of the young men and women who will be asked to commit to it.”

First, how many new recruits will have any idea what this “intersectionality” they have pledged to advocate for and acknowledge actually is?”

Exactly!

And, they still won't know what the H it means when they're hauled before a tribunal for violating it, tried, severely punished and then dishonorably discharged - after serving a long sentence in the brig.

I am still trying to figure out the difference between “systematic racisn” and “systemic racism.”
