The pledge reads: "As a key member of Task Force One Navy I will invest the time, attention and empathy required to analyze and evaluate Navywide issues related to racism, sexism, ableism and other structural and interpersonal biases.
"I pledge to be actively inclusive in the public and private spheres where I live and work, and proactively encourage others to do the same.
"I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy.

It means if you are a Christian you can’t join the Navy.
A Christian can not advocate for sin.
Homosexual acts should be illegal everywhere. Return to ask and tell. Medical mutilations, even for adults, should be illegal and it not be recognized if they have one out of country.
Not to be an alarmist, but this looks like a form of propaganda to prepare troops to fire on fellow citizens.
Normal propaganda would dehumanize the “enemy” directly. This paints the soldier as morally superior, and thus justified in eradicating moral inferiors.
Whoa! That sounds familiar.
“In the Navy” is replacing “Anchors Aweigh” as the fight song of the United States Naval Academy and march song of the United States Navy
Can’t make you pledge, illegal order.....

Fully neutering the best military on earth..
Obama is why the founders excluded the children of foreigners with the natural born citizen clause.
Good Lord. I think they may want to concentrate on basic competence first.
Anyway, because this is a "pledge" - if a woke power that be concludes someone (whose politics they don't like) doesn't pursue this aggressively, can they be cout-maritaled?
Those are lived experiences.

They are whatever its convenient for the Left to call them. Definitions used to be precise whereas now they are flexible, situational and subject to interpretation.
This society has gone stark raving mad.
just sad.
Just a bunch of politically-correct word salad that is worthy of the international laughing stock that has been installed into the Offal Office.
Our enemies around the world are watching our self-destruction with great amusement.
It is hip to be political correct and woke.
It means when faced with an enemy foreign or domestic, do not use the word enemy. There is no enemy, sin is a fundamental, irrelevant concept. Patriotism is global. Inclusive.

What ever happened to making the other poor dub bastard die for his country?
I identify as a cat.
