Rot is the right word for DEI

The military is not being trained to fight China, it is being repurposed to come after US.

Biden has “reordered” U.S. military priorities into a disastrous left-wing social experiment:
<><>employing enlisted drag queens to boost recruitment
<><>using taxpayer funds to host LGBT “pride” events on military installations,
<><>promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
<><>failing to address the biggest challenges hampering U.S. military readiness.

Case in point: The US Navy and Pentagon pour billions of tax dollars into modernizing and
upgrading shipyards to build and repair ships more quickly and keep pace with China.

Yet, Beijing’s navy has already surpassed the U.S. in size.

The Year of Hating Whitey helped accelerate the “woke” destruction of the US Navy.

“America’s Navy values diversity, equality and inclusivity,” the woke Navy leadership claims. “We believe that when a diverse group of individuals come together to do a job, they can do it better because of their differences.”

Now everybody in the Navy “respect’s” each other’s pronouns
..... But They Can’t Figure Out How to Build Ships.

If the military insists that race discrimination is OK, then what’s the problem with going back to an all White military?

History shows ours had the best record of any military in thousands of years. Gosh, maybe there’s a correlation there?

Good to know that Gen. Mugabe (currently CJCS) and his puppets at the USAFA and USNA agree. So, time to resign guys! Maybe you can pick up a gig in Zimbabwe.

Some years ago I asked my military friend about this. He just closed his eyes and said: “You have no idea.”

There was a time when I thought the “ liberal” ideologues would not be able to ruin the military, that the institution would stand on its values because its mission is compellingly fundamentally strategic to national survival.

Boy was I wrong, and it went down SO fast. A POTUS like Bill Clinton I thought was the beginning, but maybe not.

I remember walking out of the Pentagon river entrance on Clinton’s inauguration day, after a 12 hour night shift over some crisis…and by the dawn’s early light there was a great big Pentagon rat just sitting there by the flagpole, staring at me. I saw it as a sign.

The progression of responses goes from depression, apathy (where you perform to the average lower level), then sabotage (where you actively work to destroy the corrupt institution).

This country was founded by men who had a deep distrust of a standing army and career soldiers — for good reason.

‘The Naval Academy tries to square the circle by both bragging about its standards and letting in half the class to lower standards.’

It's easier to compromise people who didn't 'earn' their spot by anything other than sexual kink or color... And that's where the evil ones will choose top officers from...

[GOPJ]

Throughout his book, Fleming further notes that the USNA’s obsession with race is creating “resentment within the ranks,” and that students who speak out against the school’s DEI-focused promotion system are punished.

This is insane...

[kenmcg]

Yo know the fake news media won’t invite him to promote his book . Hold out hope that some conservative media will promote him.

[kenmcg]

How sweet it would be to see Trump purge the leadership in the Pentagon, DOJ, and FBI.

Punishment, the ONLY way they can enforce this atrocity........

look at law schools...some of these minority lawyers can't speak correctly and seemed to have limited knowledge of the actual law, let alone a total disregard for the constitution and the rule of law....

they skated thru hs, college and law school...and now look...they don't even have to pass the bar in some states.

[cherry]

from my spouse's time in the AF,all I really saw was wimpy officers more interested in passing little tests to keep climbing the ladder and lets not forget the inner circle...

absolutely no leadership ability other than trying to get their friends with good looking wives promotions ....husband should have been a general....NOT!..lol

[Deepeasttx]

...some of these minority (LEADERS) can’t speak correctly and seem to have (NO) knowledge of (actual) law(s)...

I changed your wording. Same thought process, though. I recall some black representative questioning the decision to send more troops to Guam. Cause??? He felt the island would tip and sink with too many people on one side. No sarcasm. This is a stern example of low IQ in action.

I started seeing the results of DEI around 2005. Back then we called it Political Correctness. I was a Chief Petty Officer, responsible for “seasoning” Junior Officers (JOs). Prior to ‘05, the grade of JO coming aboard was way above average compared to what we saw come in after ‘05. The JOs were getting fatter, less intelligent, more prone to needing extra emotional care, and had less than desirable decision making and critical thinking skills. They were more arrogant and lazier. Couple all that with the Navy taking away valuable on-the-job training and giving them computer-based simulation training instead, and we ended up crashing vessels all over the globe for a bit. I was lucky. I only had to deal with the happy-crappy for three years. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like now.
