#1 Dependent upon the outcome, which could be years away, a cleansing of the insanity.

I long ago, as they say...."Lost confidence in senior DoD's ability to lead."

That tired phrase cries out for a case-by-case, full and open investigation.

#2 Constitution. You know that little piece of paper you swore to uphold and defend.

#3 This isn't the 1960's, that was 3++ generations ago. That wrong was corrected many, many times over the last 60 years. Resulting in other groups being discriminated against, and losing job and educational opportunities to right a wrong they had nothing to do with.

So now 60 years later, shouldn't the only goal and agenda now be to have best qualified for a position, to be selected for that position?

That way the best of the best, no matter what color or race, advance and be the leadership of our future?

#4 I have wondered why retired naval officers have not joined together to address and attack the rot that exists at the heart of the U.S. Navy. But then I realize the rot has been allowed to fester for more than a half-century. There is no hope.

#5 /\ Excellent comments at both 3 and 4. No, it certainly "didn't just happen."

WOKE - A fancy new name for a practice emboldened by Washington for yes, several decades.

#6 The "elites" are obsessed with skin color and chromosomes. Why these trivial things are so important is beyond me. But they are.

Again thanks to President Trump for appointing sane people to the Supreme Court. Can you imagine how these decisions would have gone with President Hillary appointees?

#7 Why these trivial things are so important is beyond me.

Because they want to enlist the dumbest portion of the public in their project. If they went with anything that required actual intellectual firepower, they'd be limiting their appeal.
