Show otherwise. You can’t. That’s why you didn’t even try.
Who convinced you of that?
And treated unfairly in the hiring process. Because racism.
And sexism.
Because there is never a shortage of simpletons who misconstrue things and frame them in reductivist ways.If DEI is so good, why is it considered an insult to call someone a "DEI hire?"
"Education the soldiers"?
"Education the soldiers"?
It's only amusing because of the context. Like the guy with the "Get A Brain - Morans!" sign.You are very good at catching typos and overwriting by the computer programs! Good for you!
DEI is racism and sexism. Do try to keep up.Hiring a black person is racism? Hiring a female is sexism?
I know what I am talking about. The fact that you think you can speak for tell reaffirms how little you know about me - or pretty much anything else.I have no idea what you are talking about, and neither do you.
What is DEI according to the article?What are you trying to say?
What is DEI?You immediately were critical of it, so you must know what it is.
What is DEI?Now actually read the OP for the first time and tell us SPECIFICALLY where you disagree.
What is DEI?Do you not want all members of the military to be valued in their job?
What is DEI?Why not?

Harvard’s DEI admissions program was found to be racially discriminatory. Do you agree that it was?Show otherwise. You can’t. That’s why you didn’t even try.
DEI is feared by men that are afraid of being discovered they are attracted to other men.If the shoe fits…….as it does so often on right wingers. What could possibly be wrong with DEI other than the standard right wing lies about it. Have you even read the OP, or is this just your normal knee jerk outrage when you see the initials? The latter, no doubt.
Well said - and SPOT ON!Sorry, no. DEI is largely used as a tool to accuse others of racism ... as you're doing here.
Thought about that a lot have you?DEI is feared by men that are afraid of being discovered they are attracted to other men.
LOL - yeah, aka "Critical Race Theory""Education the soldiers"?

nonsense. DEI is an excuse to use under qualified people. Just use the best for the job and be done with it.America depends on a strong military to protect and defend its interests. According to a recent Heritage Foundation article, the military enlisted nearly 158,000 recruits in 2020 for the active component alone [1]. The article went on to highlight that every indicator of future U.S. military recruiting success is either trending negatively or remaining stagnant. “These indicators include demographics, the economy, youth health, and trends that influence propensity to serve, including civic education, the number of veterans in America, the value of the military education benefit, the public’s perception of the military, and the percentage of youth that attend college immediately after high school” [1].
Without constructive changes to try to counteract these negative recruiting trends, the future strength of the U.S. military will falter [2]. Although the U.S. doesn’t have a negative population growth rate like India, China or Russia [3], at 0.47%, it's nearly one-third the U.S. growth rate in 2000 and is driven largely by immigration [4]. The U.S. population is growing older and more ethnically diverse. For the last couple of decades, the armed services have been challenged to fulfill recruiting quotas and retain required end strength [2]. This will be an even greater challenge should America need to further increase end strength in a time of war.
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts are critical to future U.S. armed forces facing peer or near-peer competition. Improving DEI within the national security community will (1) increase the number of young Americans willing to serve, (2) cast a wider net to garner the country’s best and brightest and (3) maximize the performance of our armed forces organizations. DEI efforts can support each of these goals. Without DEI, the national security community is at risk.
The key point here is that the military is having continuing trouble in recruiting for various reasons to include a downturn in general physical fitness, low unemployment, and young people not valuing the military as a career. In matter of fact, without bringing on board ethnically diverse recruits and other types of minorities, the military services would simply be unable to meet their recruiting goals. Now Trump installs a SecDef who loudly proclaims the end of DEI in the military. What sort of signal is that to those of an ethnically diverse background. And then, in a couple of years, when it becomes even more difficult for the recruiting service to meet their goals, who will get the blame?
Before the DEI haters decide to get rid of it in the military, perhaps they should visit a military base to observe all of the various “colors” of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen there. Getting rid of DEI is just her another right wing idea to cut off their toes to spite their foot.
Wrong, it is the libs who do that. Your post is pure lies and you know it.The Right condones and even promotes racism, so your post is pure hypocrisy.
Yup, libs are very twisted. Which is why they keep losing.And Up is Down and Black is White and War is Peace........................
It uses racial quotas instead of merit when promoting/hiring.How is it racist ?

You have much to learn.Harvard didn’t have a DEI admissions program. Where do you get these falsehoods?
