Illegal aliens???

That's on the agenda. You can be sure of that.

Is this a good thing? Give the public a breakdown of the demographics of those promoted and I’ll tell you. If the numbers are outside the norm then I’ll say its a good way to kill morale and make white recruitment an extreme difficulty.

As General Patton would say about the current condition of our Combat Arms:

“They couldn’t fight their way out of a pissed soaked paper bag”.

This was the technique used by O’Bama to come up with all the retarded generals and admirals during his regime’s rule.

It’s not that bad, and has NOTHING to do with DEI.

There was a problem here. They shut down all the NCO leadership schools and academies due to Covid so these people couldn’t go. In order to get promoted, you have to go to the leadership school. That’s in the normal, pre-covid times. I won’t argue the Covid restrictions weren’t stupid, they were. But what is a soldier supposed to do? Another stripe gives them more pay and responsibility, but through no fault of their own they can’t go the leadership academies and therefore can’t get promoted??? I’ll bet they still get saddled with the extra responsibility, because it’s always there despite who’s in charge.

So the Army is going to wave the academy requirement for a couple of grades temporarily, promote some who deserve it and everyone is angry about it?

I think this is a good thing until they can alleviate the backlog and get the academies flowing again. It’s not the fault of the enlisted men that the system screwed up so badly.

Are you in the Army? (Asking legitimately, not condescendingly)

That’s almost worse in a way. Our military wasn’t training because of a bad cold?

There’s only one requirement for promotion these days...

Will you comply when el presidente says to kill those MAGA types, Christians, and homeschoolers on sight?

And we will wipe them out to the last trannie/homo/POC/prog!

Trust me, these AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/DEI/POLITICAL promotions know absolutely nothing about combat and killing, I’m old but I can still put it in the 10 ring at 500 meters.

They’ll be useless in a real war, but if ordered to fire on American citizens demanding their rights, they’ll hop to it.

That's the real purpose, as well as the real purpose of DEI: to install minorities into all the positions of power, and tell them they only retain their positions as long as they can keep white men down.

...we can rest assured that doing away with education, training, and testing requirements has resulted in a more diverse military.

And one less able to fight a war...
