The Air Force announced a new set of 13 inclusion initiatives Friday with the goal of ensuring the force isn’t as white, male and heterosexual as it is now.

Air Force officials are intent on building upon a foundation of nine initiatives from 2015, in order to boost diversity.

Those nine initiatives weren’t enough to make the Air Force as diverse as desired, which is why it is taking more intensive steps in 2016.

The first new initiative mandates that at least one diverse candidate will have to be in the running for important developmental positions like aide-de camp, senior enlisted advisor and executive officer, among other roles.

Because your best isn’t good enough anymore. Pathetic.

[Petrosius]

I am so glad that I am no longer in the military.

[Scythian_Reborn]

Can we just go ahead and surrender now? I can’t stand to watch it unfold, where can I get Arabic lessons ... ?

[PROCON]

Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James put down her foot and said she wants to make the demographics of the service match more closely with the changing demographics of America.

BTW, Ms. James has NO Air Force or Military background.

That doesn't make any sense at all, militarily or otherwise, only the left can think like this, and it's sole purpose is to destroy this country.

[Taxman]

NO!

Let’s FIGHT the BASTARDS!

VOTE TRUMP!

[Nicojones]

Paging Mr. trump, paging Mr. trump, we need you as our President more than ever to put an end to this PC bullshit before our nation is completely destroyed. Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you!

[ETL]

Well, it’s only fair that we have at least one oriental male-to-female transgender in the US Air Force. Gotta have at least one of everything, you know.

[Osage Orange]

So the USAF...announces...we don't want the best and the brightest!!

We want more DIVERSITY!!!

We are being lead by MORONS!!!

And our SAFETY is being compromised!!

[PROCON]

That doesn't make any sense at all

You are correct.

[Spruce]

So, "The right stuff" means something completely different now. <Facepalm />

[aquila48]

You’re absolutely right.

“Diversity” is just another name for quotas. It will dilute the level of excellence.

Sooner than later we will be taken over by any society that puts merit first and embraces reality.

[mulligan]

Sickness and evil in control in America.

Well hell, let's just turn over the jets and the missiles to Mexico now.

Debbie does DC, and boy did she do it to them.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Off we go....into the..... ....aw, nuts!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

All white people should start identifying themselves as “Black” on all racist government documents.

Overwhelm the system.

[pfflier]

Oh, I long for the good old days when the most qualified candidate got the job.

[Pecos]

Well, you see, you're using oldthink, where "best" means defending the country in a superlative manner. George Orwell has taught us that "best" in newthink means whatever Big Brother says it means. And today, "best" means being the most diverse, regardless of military outcome.

It's all much easier when you simply throw your brain away.
