The Pentagon defended the military’s diversity and inclusion training programs amid a torrent of criticism, saying they are essential for recruiting the “right people” in its duty to defend the nation.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby was asked during Tuesday’s briefing about GOP lawmakers creating sites urging whistleblowers in the armed services to expose progressive diversity training programs, some of which have reportedly deemed white people “inherently evil.”
“We certainly respect the oversight that Congress provides. I’m not going to comment on any specific one initiative that members of Congress might be doing,” Kirby said.
“What I can speak to is what we’re really focused on here at the department and that’s defending the nation. And that means putting in place the right resources, the right strategies, the right operational concepts to do that, around the world.
”Kirby said the military needs “good people” to keep warships, aircraft and other military systems operating efficiently.
“And the secretary has been very clear and fairly unapologetic about the fact that we want to get all the best talent that we can available from the American people. If you meet the standards and you’re qualified to be in the military — and you’re willing to raise your hand and serve this country — we want you to be able to do and we want you to be able to do it free of hate and fear and discrimination,” he said.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) began a campaign last week that seeks to have military members report the “woke ideology.”
“Enough is enough. We won’t let our military fall to woke ideology. We have just launched a whistleblower webpage where you can submit your story.

“The Pentagon defended the military’s diversity and inclusion training programs amid a torrent of criticism, saying they are essential for recruiting the “right people” in its duty to defend the nation.”
The Pentagons duty is to defend the People and Constitution of the United States against All enemies, Foreign and domestic.
Nowhere in their duties is it listed for them to determine the Political and social views of its Service Members.
So these are the a-holes charged with defending the nation.
Color me scared!
When I was in the military doing drugs would at least get one kicked out. With stuff like this it now appears that being on something is a requirement.
The purpose of the military is to provide a career path, salary and benefits to marginalized groups.
Isn’t it?
It certainly would appear so wouldn’t it?

In my day, finding the "right people" meant finding people with education, test scores and physical fitness to match service and occupational standards.

Mentally ill individuals are not the best choice for defenders of our nation, idiots.
The good people of the country should be prepared to protect themselves as it seems unlikely that a woke military will be able to.
“The purpose of the military is to provide a career path, salary and benefits to marginalized groups.
Isn’t it?”
No silly, the purpose of the military is to provide free sex change operations for $300,000 and the provide free hormones forever. Sheesh, where have you been?
The Pentagon is full of shite....
....when I was on Active Duty (early to mid-1960s...) we trained for war...the purpose of America’s armed forces was just that...to be armed, to prepare to kill people and break things if necessary. There was no “reimagining” of the military, no diversity and inclusiveness training....remember these...?
Army - “Be all that you can be”
Navy - “Not just a job, but an adventure”
Air Force - “Fly high - go Air Force”
Marines - “The few, the proud, the Marines”
today....well, just look at the Army’s newest recruiting cartoon, pretending to be an ad....Lesbian Emma, who grew up in a typical [sic] two-mommy family......
