It became pretty clear as far back as the Clinton administration that the left views the military as a giant social experiment. It is where we got
the phrase rCLDonrCOt ask, donrCOt tellrCY regarding gays in the military. But the
advent of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements takes that leftist social experiment to a whole other level, one that is dangerous
and could have serious effects on military readiness and ultimately
national security.
In 2021, during a push to promote diversity in all branches of the
military, the U.S. Air Force decided to do a little rCLexperimentrCY with some
female and minority students in pilot training classes. While anyonerCOs initial thought at experimenting with potential pilot trainees might be to think about selecting the most qualified candidates, not in todayrCOs woke military, home of the Navy drag queen. The idea was to see if such a class would improve graduation rates among those demographics. It did not
produce the equitable results the Air Force was looking for rCo and may have resulted in breaking discrimination laws.
When a large backlog of pilot training candidates began to pile up at the 19th Air Force Command at Laughlin Air Force Base near San Antonio Texas, officials at Air Education and Training Command decided that they would compose a class from rCLclusteredrCY and rCLunderrepresentedrCY groups of people
for the Special Undergraduate Pilot Training class (SUPT). The class was designed to reflect the gender and racial makeup of America. Class 21-15 became known as rCLAmericarCOs class,rCY their class motto which was stitched onto the class patch, rCLhand-picked for excellence.rCY Only they werenrCOt.
The US is now the laughing stock of the world. With US military
recruitment plummeting over the past couple of years, how does the
leadership think this will boost recruitment or display American military strength? The answer is they donrCOt. ItrCOs a plan to destroy us from within.rCa

Officers became concerned when a memo began to circulate, saying, rCLWe have been verbally ordered through the chain of command by the 19AF/CC [19th
Air Force commander] to purposefully restructure the students assigned to [SUPT] class 21-15 to meet specific racial and gender demographics.rCY Signatures of officers on the memo were redacted. Again, the idea was to
have a class that rCLlooked likerCY America. But the racial and gender makeup of the incoming contingent would not have provided the necessary numbers.
At that point, the Air Force resorted to outright exclusion, and the memo
was changed to include the sentence: rCLThe order was changed by verbal
order of the 47 OG/CC to restructure the class with rCyanybody non-white.'rCY The memo essentially canceled out the previous procedure of forming
classes based on a first-come, first-served basis based on time served in
a studentrCOs unit.
A complaint was made regarding the memo to the baserCOs equal opportunity office in August 2020 but met with a response that restructuring the class was not illegal. But even the officers who signed the memo stated they believed that base commanders had violated the Air ForcerCOs non- discrimination policy by issuing the memo, but they would obey the order given in the memo unless further scrutiny showed it to be illegal. The officers also correctly stated:
None of the parties signed below agree with the order from an ethical standpoint. SUPT class structures have never been based on a minimum quota for a studentrCOs race or gender, and the message this sends to students and future students is harmful.
In yet another example, DEI is the last thing the military should be concerned about. Military recruitment is in a free fall. According to Department of Defense data, the Army is at 69 percent of the number they
need to reach 100 percent on their mission by September 30 of FY2023. The Navy is at 60 percent, Air Force at 87 percent. Only the Marines and Space Force reached 100 percent of their goals. The Department of DefenserCOs
first inclination is to blame potential recruits themselves, citing a poll that said just nine percent were interested in joining the military. The
poll also claimed that only 23 percent of those aged 17-24 were eligible without having a waiver granted. Obesity and drug use are cited as the
most common disqualifiers.
Drag queen on a military recruitment poster will have the 'Bud Light'
effect on patriotic young men.
But isn't that the idea?

The DoD poll would also have you believe that more people are reluctant to join the military because they are concerned about discrimination against women and minorities. What the DoD does not want you to know is that woke policies like the pilot training class are the very reason that straight white males, who (unfortunately for woke commanders) are traditionally the demographic that most often enlists, are reluctant to do so. Apparently,
no one has thought to wonder, or even care if the NavyrCOs new spokesperson, drag queen rCLHarpy Daniels,rCY will pull in the traditional recruits. They have ceased to matter becauserCaequity!
And speaking of equity, initial results from rCLAmericarCOs classrCY were shown
to be rCLinconclusive.rCY Minority and female students did not progress at faster rates, and rCLnot all students saw clustering as beneficial.rCY Here is
a radical thought for AmericarCOs military: Enough with the social experiments. LetrCOs recruit the best and the brightest for whatever needs the military has so that if called, America has a fighting force that is second to none.
