I know what you mean… However, I view many of the problems in industry and the US military (specifically the Navy, as a former sailor) As part and parcel of the same thing.

Absolutely everything from ships colliding In the south China Sea to delays and repairs of naval ships, I think can be completely tied to the lack of competency,
Which is directly tied to the trend of hiring people based on the color of their skin or their sex, rather than their competency at the skill needed to navigate a ship or manage a ship repair or ship building program.

I viewed this DEI bullshit as one of the most critical problems facing our nation because it has tentacles into just about everything from politics to the military to Medical processes.

The left has baked DEI into everything, and the only thing that will get us out of it is a catastrophe of some kind in my opinion. That catastrophe may be a war we get our clock cleaned, or financial catastrophe. But I do think that’s what it’s going to take.

I understand that is a pessimistic view. I just don’t know how to see it any other way.

I’m sure Biden will continue to see DEI as the more important initiative than overcoming the delays.

I wish that I shared your optimism in such an ingredient to change our national direction, but I don't.

A catastrophe will be laid at the feet of conservative policies and personnel. The Swamp will demand MORE DEI to fix the issue.

As an ex-military wife, mom, grandmother and widow, I agree wholeheartedly with you.

I finished a couple of history books on WWII in the Pacific Theater and I think we will never see that caliber of men on ships again. Viet Nam was almost as good, as far as men were concerned because of their role models, though VN was more of a ground war.

Then came the pacifists who thought their parents were the enemy, and that brings us to today. We need to bring back God in everything we do, every place we work, and never forget to defend the Constitution of the USA! (So let it be said, so let it be done. -- Yul Brynner as Pharoah)

Very good post.

It’s all part of their “Death by a thousand cuts” to take down America. Pretty soon the host bleeds to death.
It goes on 24/7 from every possible angle.
