"Instead of being ready to defend this country, the Air Force opened its first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office. The planes may not fly, but everyone will be lectured about white privilege."

In the event of war, this won't be a "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" policy, it will be a "Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity" policy. The pilots will DIE

The opportunity to destroy Russia knocked and the world answered positively

The standing army is a threat to democracy.

Affirmative action has been going on way before biden........before odumbo even.

They just turbocharged it and took the speed governor off.

Worked for the DoD for 30+ years......it was always bad....it just got way worse.

Not just the standing army, but the “virtual army” of plain-clothes armed federal secret police.

Why Is The Government Arming More Federal Bureaucrats Than US Marines?
BY: MARK HEMINGWAY / NOVEMBER 18, 2022

The idea that agencies are empowered to effectively create their own laws and go out and enforce them with armed federal agents should be alarming.

More than a hundred executive agencies have armed investigators, and apparently no independent authority is monitoring or tracking the use of force across the federal government. Agencies contacted by RealClearInvestigations from HHS to EPA declined to provide, or said they did not have, comprehensive statistics on how often their firearms are used, or details on how they conduct armed operations.

“I would be amazed if that data exists in any way,” said Trevor Burrus, a research fellow in constitutional and criminal law at the libertarian Cato Institute. “Over the years of working on this, it’s quite shocking how much they try to not have their stuff tracked on any level.”

All this weaponry raises questions about whether the 200,000 armed federal agents are getting adequate weapons and safety training. HHS did not respond to a request for comment on the $14 million in guns, ammunition, and military equipment it purchased between 2015 and 2019 or its new National Training Operations Center within the Washington, D.C. Beltway. Another government agency — Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers — also declined to speak with RCI for this article.

According to Burrus, recent history helps explain the militarization of the federal government. “This is 20 years of the war on terror, with the production of an excessive amount of access to weaponry,” he says.

“a woke military brass insists that everything is national security, from critical race theory to abortion, except actually winning wars. “

Hey, at least they know which pronoun to use.

New Survey Finds Political Polarization Is Eroding Public’s Trust In The Military

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/new-survey-finds-political-polarization-eroding-publics-trust-military/

Over the last few years, the U.S. Military has been politicized by the left.

This is having the unfortunate effect of eroding the public’s trust in the institution.

Just in the last two years, the military has been struggling to meet recruitment goals and this is one of the main reasons why that is happening.

I enlisted in July ‘63 for a 4 year spin. If this B.S. had been going on back then, I would have never made it.

The U.S. military is on the verge of becoming a duplicate of the Robins’ egg blue-helmeted, UN Turd Worlders that run around third world countries raping and pillaging the countryside.

Our current woke military leadership is a freakin joke. Maybe the strategy is to make the Russians and Chinese die from laughter.

Back then the mantra I used to hear was, “The US Navy is an equal Opportunity Employer”

Then came the Nixon DoJ and its agreement with AT&T* to give the EEOC** teeth and push Affirmative Action and one by one all other entities, public and/or private, fell into line.

*...at the time, AT&T was the largest non-government employer in the free world. Once the DoJ had them on board, it knew every one else would follow....and they did.

**...EEOC....Equal Employment Opportunity Commission....on my job we called it the Eventual Elimination Of Caucasians

He is destroying the USA ability to protect itself.

A guy with an IQ of 73 isn’t going to fly a modern warplane or captain a modern submarine, etc.
