Diversity and Inclusion Officer Hired For Special Forces
2021-03-28
[Victory Girls] On Friday, March 26, 2021, the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) announced that they have hired Richard Estrada-Torres as their Officer of Diversity and Inclusion. You read that right. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is planning to "cultivate masculinity" and our Special Forces are getting woke. Patton, Pershing, Nimitz, Puller, and Washington are shaking their fists at us.

For those not versed in military speak, USSOCOM is the umbrella organization for special operations in the United States Military:
SOCOM was established following the disastrous attempt by Delta Force to rescue Americans held hostage in Iran in 1980. One of the issues that contributed to the debacle in Iran was the lack of interoperability, communication and co-ordination between the Army, Navy and Air Force. SOCOM was activated in April 1987. SOCOM oversees any special operations involving elements from multiple services. JSOC, a joint command which is focused on counter terrorism, was established in December 1980 and was later brought in under the umbrella of SOCOM.

USSOCOM includes units from all of the military branches, such as Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Marines Special Operations Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, and others.

Their mission statement is:
USSOCOM develops and employs fully capable Special Operations Forces to conduct global special operations and activities as part of the Joint Force to support persistent, networked and distributed Combatant Command operations and campaigns against state and non-state actors to protect and advance U.S. policies and objectives.

For perspective, less than one percent of the United States population serves in the military and two percent of the military are special operators. To quote Will Smith in Men in Black, They are the "Best of the Best of the Best, Sir! With Honors, Sir!" The United States, Canada, Great Britain, Israel and Poland have the best special operations units globally. My point in telling you all of this is that diversity and inclusion are at odds with the very nature of special operations.

Nevertheless, on March 1, 2021, USSOCOM hired Richard Torres-Estrada as Officer for Diversity and Inclusion, but didn’t announce the hire for 25 days. Via Twitter:

#4  Why did they wait nearly a month to announce this?

They were choking on their tofu.
