"Slowly firmly some political leaders are stepping forward. These include Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AZ) is one, and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI).
Both of these gentlemen are deeply involved in defense issues, and served as officers in the Army and USMC. They get the danger. They know the terrain."
That comment is almost laughable. Nothing Sen. Cotton does is slow and instead he has made his living and fame from being a rhetorical bomb thrower. After reading that I knew the rest of the article would be fully one sided without much legitimate debate of the facts.
Something you seemed to have forgotten is that in the 20 years since 9/11, far-right extremists killed more people in the US than did American-based Islamist fundamentalists. We fundamentally changed American life after 9/11, as we should have, but people like yourself completely capitulate to the far right attacking and killing Americans at an even higher rate. Where's your outrage? I don't doubt that some of those programs are over reach which happens in any new program and they need to be addressed. But to dismiss this as "woke" is a disservice to the leadership who are trying to find solutions to a very real problem.
My Dad, a PH survivor (also Savo Island, Kolombongara, Okinawa picket duty kamikaze strike, and the rescue of USS Indianapolis survivors among other events), was invited to the commissioning of the USS Pearl Harbor (LSD 52). When I asked how it was, he said that that ship was more like a cruise ship than a man-of-war and that the sailors would have had their lunches eaten by the IJN. Sounds like things are now even worse. While I miss him I'm glad he is not around to see the state of his beloved Navy.
All any of us retired squids can do is weep for our Navy. Racist clowns like Gilday are going to get sailors killed with the misplaced emphasis. After the predictable disasters, Gilday and others of his ilk will absolve themselves of any culpability and instead will focus on a missed entry in a training record or other such BS. With loved ones still serving, I pray I'm wrong, while sadly knowing I'm not.
I never served in the military, but I experienced "diversity" efforts in the private sector. Heavy handed and divisive tactics like these promote disunity and weaken organizations. It is unfortunate that we are tearing the finest military force in history apart with this nonsense. The armed services were leaders in promoting "people of color" long before it was popular. Thanks for telling the truth.
"diverse teams are 58 percent more likely than non-diverse teams to accurately assess a situation.” Here TF1N cites a 2014 article from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences"
Is there EVEN ONE proper scientific experiment about this topic? Any case study that doesn't confound correlation/causation ("successful companies are more diverse")? Any business school report that is not just some stupid little simulation game?
Well done my friend. Nailed it.
