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.

If they follow this deranged plan to its logical conclusion, we’ll also have several violent jihadists in military leadership positions.

Like that Army psychiatrist at Fort Hood?

"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly killed [13] people before being shot and wounded by police at Fort Hood, had said Muslims should "rise up" and attack Americans in retaliation for the US war in Iraq, a former army colleague said."

"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Major Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.

Col Lee alleged that other officers had told him that Major Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square" in New York."

Donald Trump should announce he will fire her on his first day.

The military should accurately portray the country they represent: half gay, half, black, half female, and half Muslim. It’s only fair, given what those patriots have endured just to serve. No?

NO, damnit, get the BEST people into the appropriate positions without regard to race, gender, ethnicity, etc. The BEST, for a military that WINS.

The military exists to win battles and wars, period.

South Africa did this with their air force. Today they only have 5 planes left and they are never flown. The diversity hires crashed all the rest.
