Pentagon says diversity training essential in 'defending the nation'
2021-06-03
[NYPOST] The Pentagon defended the military’s diversity and inclusion training programs amid a torrent of criticism, saying they are essential for recruiting the "right people" in its duty to defend the nation.​

Pentagon front man John Kirby was asked during Tuesday’s briefing about GOP politicians creating sites urging whistleblowers in the armed services to expose progressive diversity training programs, some of which have reportedly deemed white people "inherently evil."

"We certainly respect the oversight that Congress provides. I’m not going to comment on any specific one initiative that members of Congress might be doing​," Kirby said. "What I can speak to is what we’re really focused on here at the department and that’s defending the nation. And that means putting in place the right resources, the right strategies, the right operational concepts to do that, around the world.​"

#11  I’m ashamed of what is being done to the one institution that was largely above this crap.

This tells us all we need to know about these little monsters. They want complete, absolute, total power. Over every American institution.

Academia wasn't enough for them -- they took over Hollywood. Hollywood wasn't up for them – they had to take over professional sports.
Sports and entertainment weren't enough for them – they had to take over the entire media.
The media wasn't enough for them -- they went after the Fortune 500.
Corporations weren't enough for them – they had to take over the executive branch / Deep State.
The Deep State wasn't enough for them – they had to take over the US military.

At this point we either fight back and kill this tendency, or we will kiss our nation goodbye.

It's winter of '42, in Stalingrad. Destroy them or be destroyed.

#10  For decades, since the draft ended, the military has been a color neutral meritocracy, and it has worked very well. Often used as an example for the nation as a whole. So naturally they had to kill it.

#9  Pentagon defending the indefensible and refusing to prepare to defend the essential. Fire all the high level commanders and start over.

#7  This sort of meddling by pols and selling out by brass is very bad, for any military. And it's no way to treat soldiers, who are above shitty considerations of skin and religion.

#6  The Pentagon ought to be concerned with combat readiness and the ability to defeat the enemy and winning. You can talk all you want about "wokeness and diversity" but if you lose, it's game over.

#5  I did 29 years dirst as an enlisted Marine (E6) and then as a commissioned Army officer (O6) between 1968 and 1998.
I’m ashamed of what is being done to the one institution that was largely above this crap. Seems that the signals are clear that the Republic was indeed too hard to keep for very long.

#2  .. that’s defending the nation.

Men of the ranks are populated in great numbers by conservative Southerners. The 'defense' being undertaken is not of the nation, but of liberalism and socialism. Trump thinking must be purged from our institutions, to include the military.
