DEI is a tool to Degrade National Security

Testifying before Congress in 2021, then-Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, General Mark Milley, indicated "White rage" in the military was his priority – even though at the time intelligence about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s possible invasion of Ukraine was presumably on his desk.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin launched an "extremists" hunt. He found fewer "extremists" in the ranks than you’ll find in any Ivy League faculty lounge.
In 2022, the current Chief of the Joint Staff, General Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. wrote a memo that implicitly called for racial quotas in the Air Force officer ranks – at least.
The DEI/IEDs did their damage. Meanwhile, the services struggle to find recruits, U.S. arsenals are depleted, and we still aren’t focused on fighting China.
In the late-‘60s, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s "Project 100,000" pushed in recruits from mental and physical categories who otherwise would have been rejected. Race wasn’t involved – it was about changing standards to meet quotas. Indeed, in the late 1940s when Black Americans were finally allowed to compete (to the same standards) as other Americans, the American military – and American society – greatly benefited.
Moreover, Project 100,000 contributed to the collapse of discipline throughout the U.S. military services, to include racial violence, drugs and gangs that lasted well into the 1970s.
It’s not superficial diversity that is our strength; it is our unity of purpose.
An efficient, effective and deadly military depends on high standards that are unfailingly maintained – along with fair treatment, equal opportunity and advancement on merit. Remove any one of these and you’re asking for trouble. DEI/IED removes all of them. No wonder China has been such a supporter.
