Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Are Necessities in U.S. Military (this is an official DoD press release)
U.S. Department of Defense (their own website) ^ | FEB. 9, 2022 | JIM GARAMONE, DOD NEWS

Posted on 02/10/2022 11:51:24 AM PST by Salman

Diversity, equity and inclusion in the military are necessities for the United States, Bishop Garrison, the senior advisor to the secretary of defense for human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion said.

Garrison spoke to the Center for a New American Security today about the progress being made by the department and what still needs to happen.

Some 41 percent of the military identify as members of minority groups, and that number will grow larger, Garrison said. The military must be able to attract, train and retain them for the services to retain competitive edges, he said.

The Russians must be roaring with laughter.

And the Chinese, Iranians, Iraqis, Europeans, Canadians, Mexicans, and even Jamaicans.

What about the ability to actually fight and win wars?
How did all that “diversity” work out in Afghanistan?

Once they complete this, our combat power will be for crap.

The objective competency measures have already been all but dismantled. Womyn can't compete on the same level as men so even the handicap scores have been ignored when they can't be met. Want one of these watching your back in a combat environment?

"It's not just something that has to be done because of some type of cultural ideology or culture wars that are going on — that's not the case at all. It is, again, not diversity for diversity's sake," Garrison said.

Utter BS.

My SIN is in the 82nd. This diversity crap is all over the place and it is killing moral ... along with the 82nd's woke general who's more interested in photo ops leaving Afghanistan like some conquering hero. Quite honestly, that a-hole contributed to the massive charlie foxtrot in Kabul. He should be resigning is disgrace, but he has no honor, no code, and doesn't give two craps about men under his command.

A lot of very fine young men are going to be leaving. Army life is difficult enough, but constant deployments and over use makes it very difficult. My SIN law calls the 82nd, 101st and 10th Mt Div a dead end. It kills families and careers. Politics are rampant and it is difficult for an old school soldier to get ahead. Just add this diversity, equity and inclusion BS and it is even worse. My understanding from my SIN that his fellow soldiers are from all kinds of background, and the vast majority do not have any issues with race or ethnic background. So there isn't a diversity problem or whatever you want to call it.

Abstractly, there is a training and readiness problem. Every moment spent on diversity training is a moment not spent doing their daily jobs or not training to kill and break things. It is a waste of money and reduces readiness. It makes America weak.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion”

I thought it was “Kill Our Enemies and Break Things”

That means we put the generals up front.

I had the same thought in the past. Just don't give them any armor. See what it is like to walk down in the street in a place like Fallujah.

So NATIONAL DEFENSE is of secondary importance to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion?

I’d like to hear him explain why “equity” was chosen instead of “equality.”

If the “woke” military ever goes to battle it might end up like the French did after WWII and their sale of military hardware ... For sale: French Army Rifles. Never fired. Only dropped once.

“Equity” is only possible if all the troops are dead.

The military “leaders” are pushing Kool-Aid to cult followers.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Are Necessities in U.S. Military (this is an official DoD press release)

Kill, Destroy at Speed, Overwhelming Artillery Fire, Mass Mechanized Charge - whatever it takes to subdue the enemy - Kill, Kill, Kill, No retreat: Russian Military doctrine.

Compare and contrast for extra points.

If the “woke” military ever goes to battle against Russian forces - there is no plan, no training on how to fight a long sustained war. There would be a wake up call as body bags returned home in the thousands (if the planes carrying the bodies were not shot down).
