No military officer would attempt to create a force to defend his nation by creating a "diversity" structure within the force to "improve" its fighting effectiveness. Why? Because military officers are generally (er, mostly) not mentally deficient (stupid). However, if you are deliberately trying to reduce combat effectiveness and mission accomplishment, degrading the quality of personnel, leadership, morale and cohesion would be a desired end result. So creating this "diversity structure" then makes total sense. A logical follow-on question has to be what sort of incentive structure exists in our military at the senior level (officer and NCO) that incentivizes this type of behavior? People don't do "stupid" things more than once unless they are rewarded for doing so (Human behavior 101). The world wonders...

Nothing to add. Everyone knows the problems. I won’t recommend service under this leadership, under these policies, under these flag officers.

DEI = DIDN’T. EARN. IT.
