What do you see?
Let me help you a bit - what do you not see?
Your regular reminder that if anyone in the Navy tells you that when they say “diversity” they are really focused on “viewpoint diversity” or “diversity of background” or “regional diversity” or “source of commission” diversity or any of the other sweet little lies we like to tell each other, Congress, and the American public - they are telling you a lie.
They don’t believe it and they don’t think you do either - but they want you to join them in their lie.
Don’t live by lies.

BEHOLD!
