Every July, Minot Air Force Base, the only one to contain two ‘legs’ of the nuclear triad, celebrates ‘Diversity Day’. Held at the Jimmy Doolittle Center, named after the hard-charging Air Force pioneer who led the first air raid into Japan after Pearl Harbor, Diversity Day showcases “many different cultures along with other diversities such as religion and disabilities” representing the various cultures at Minot Air Force Base.” Jimmy would not approve.A culture notably absent from the Diversity Day festivities at Minot is a culture of competence.Two Air Force commanders have been fired after their units failed nuclear surety inspections....

The Biden administration’s reaction to being criticized for playing identity politics with the military has been to play identity politics with the military.
