DEI is big business in the federal government. Since Joe Biden took office, the Department of Defense budget for what it calls "DEI projects" has risen each year, from $68 million in fiscal year (FY) 2022, $86.5 million in FY 2023, to now $114.7 million in FY 2024. So, what are the tax dollars of the American people paying for? //

The US military recruitment problem is entirely due to white men no longer joining.

DEI did that.

Let’s not pretend it was something else.

The U.S. military should only be merit-based for one reason. So that America's most skilled, talented, capable fighting men and women are ready at a moment's notice to defend a country they have been taught to love. //

DEI: Most Americans have no idea what the last four years has done to our military - it is in shambles. The hardchargers skilled at killing people and breaking thing have been labeled 'toxic' and purged. The focus now is on diversity over skill or capabilities. Show more

Let's not pretend this didn't begin with "equal opportunity" or "EEO officers". There is a class of, mostly, blacks and females whose only job and desire has been to create as much dissension within the ranks as possible while using federal law to make them appear invaluable.

I will say, if no one else, that the various civil rights acts, affirmative action, and EEO type nonsense was always going to result in this.

There is NOTHING inherent in a black, female, or any other privileged class which the military requires to fulfill its mission. That we are forced to pretend that there is is why the military has slowly been slipping from a "family business" where the current generation was preceded by- or serving along- another. Policing is suffering the same fate and it is NOT a positive development.

I certainly am not encouraging anyone to serve, and mine is a family with a history back to the War of 1812, at least.
