The United States Department of Defense was blasted on social media after posting a tweet touting the need for "diversity" and "inclusion" in the military.

"NEWS: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Are Necessities in U.S. Military," the Department of Defense posted Wednesday along with an article outlining the many ways the military is pushing for diversity in its ranks and says that the "need for diversity, equity and inclusion to be a consideration or a part of all decisions in the military."

"I would hope that as many leaders and members of the total force as possible see [diversity, equity and inclusion] efforts as a force multiplier," Bishop Garrison, the senior advisor to the secretary of defense for human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion, said in the article, which added that the diversity program can be a "way to make the U.S. military more successful in achieving critical missions and in making forces more lethal."

If the soldiers in the picture were deployed to a combat zone that unit would be wiped out.

The military of all organizations should know that pound for pound men are stronger, faster and meaner than women.

It's why we're drafted and they're not.

Open commentary:

If you are a decent person not part of the woke culture, get out of the military as soon as you can.

If you are that same type of person not in the military, stay out.

It is a perverse and corrupted system let by warped people.

Yes, this is a good way to lose wars. I suspect that is the plan.

[sumuam]

Fine with me. Let the new Muericans, minorities, and the Woke fight their wars. They’re always recruiting White guys to fight in the Infantry, and what rights are they exactly fighting for, for over 70 years considering where we are?

[Sarcazmo]

I can vouch for this truth.

[Lurkinanloomin]

OR ELSE!

[Sarcazmo]

They will squander the treasure we have put forth, and it will be on us to take over and correct it... or lose.

It infuriates me to no end to observe.

Why didn’t the US Army allow Viet Cong fighters to join during the Vietnamese War? It would have increased diversity, true?

[Thunder90]

Putin and Xi are quaking in their boots when they see this.... Oops that’s them laughing at us. And they both facepalmed.

[Renfrew]

So why then do you think Israel has drafted women for decades?

A lot of folk fail to realize the fight we are in. 1.5 billion Chinese and 1.2 billion Muslims to 300 million Americans. We will need every citizen to do their part.

and in making forces more lethal."

More lethal to whom though ?

[sauropod]

What??!!! No woke bullets??

You mean like the young, inexperienced gal just barely out of the academy who crashed the F-35 in the South China Sea?

“If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” — Plutarch

If we are victorious in increasing diversity, we shall be utterly ruined.

So why then do you think Israel has drafted women for decades?

I don't think you understand the IDF at all.

A lot of folk fail to realize the fight we are in. 1.5 billion Chinese and 1.2 billion Muslims to 300 million Americans. We will need every citizen to do their part.

That part, for the vast majority of our citizens, is to lead quiet, peaceful, and productive lives which allow(ed) us to have an all volunteer cohesive force. Diversity and inclusion = decay and destruction.

The DOD's words about diversity will ring hollow with me until the first clinically blind fighter pilot graduates from flight school.

The visually impaired have been discriminated against for far too long and it's time the DOD makes it right.

[Sarcazmo]

Heh... no doubt. I saw a comparison of a current US Army commercial with one from the Chinese Army, and one from the Russian Army.

It was quite disturbing.

Americans are paying a fortune for a clown show. I don’t know how this can be fixed.

I read that the Army was a shambles before the Korean war but they got it together again for the win.

But now I think the leadership is rotted to the core. That takes time to correct, if it can even be corrected before losing.

Well at least Bishop Garrison does some volunteering. He’s on the Board of Directors of the DC Diaper bank. Lots of experience with various nonprofits and the usual leftwing drivel. Sounds like he’s a great fit for his current position.

[Taxman]

Has anyone botherhed to ask these morons how “Diversity, Equity, [and] Inclusion. . .” will enable our warfighters to break things and kill our enemies?

[qaz123]

It is 100% needed. Especially when we could potentially be going to war against folks like these:
