A DEI military cannot protect or defend America
American Thinker ^ | 05/05/2024 | M.B. Matthews

DEI has infiltrated our American military like a deadly toxin, making it incapable of defending our shores or our country. The higher-ups in the American armed forces have somehow succumbed to a racist philosophy that recruits, promotes, hires, and rewards black, brown, and Hispanic members at the expense of white people, who need not apply.

Word is out: White people will not be hired or promoted according to merit, nor will they even be allowed to function the way other races function so long as DEI has a branch in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or any other American defense mechanism. In short, hiring and promoting in the military according to race seems to be more important than defending our country. This is suicidal madness.

From a report at The Daily Signal, there is this:

The Heritage Foundation recently hosted a series of panel discussions, ‘Seizing the Moment to Defeat DEI,’ that brought together top conservative minds to discuss how to combat what they regard as those divisive leftist policies. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) … a former Army infantry officer, said the military became a testing ground for non-merit-based hiring programs, mainly through affirmative action and later DEI-based hiring practices, emphasizing race and sexual orientation.

When you eliminate merit, you get mediocrity, the very thing a country cannot afford when our very survival as a nation relies on excellence, not mediocrity. When you hire for race or sex, you don’t get the best but second best. Or worse — those who couldn’t get hired anywhere else because they are simply not good enough..

A colonial police force for the globalists is not intended protect or defend America.

Well OK it's also a welfare program.

“Since when has the US military been in the business of defending America?”

October 1962 ~~ The Cuban Missile Crisis!

Y’all realize just how utterly depressing this is?? Knowing that we are pretty much defenseless against foreign powers and that the military is now much more willing to kill American citizens.

And....it’s becoming less likely that good people will be able to do anything about it?
