Biden regime embraces disastrous DEI

 Kurt Schlichter:

The idea that “diversity, equity, and inclusion are necessities in U.S. military” is maybe the stupidest thing ever asserted by the Biden regime, which is saying something. You sit back and look at a pronouncement like this, which was apparently written and disseminated on purpose, and you really have to marvel. If the Pentagon had reincarnated the greatest failures in all of military history to work together to come up with something so transcendently dumb that it would have made Varro, the dumbass Roman consul who decided “Yeah, Cannae is just the place to show that uppity Hannibal fellow what for - see how weak his center is!”, look like, well, Hannibal.

It would be funny if this kind of unserious idiocy was not going to get scores of our troops killed. In fact, scores of our troops have already gotten killed through gross incompetence, 13 of them in Afghanistan during Operation Utter Failure. And more will die. War is serious business and in America, it is being overseen by fatally unserious people obsessed with liberal wine women fetishes like “diversity, inclusion and equity” (DIE) instead of combat readiness. They will put the “die” in “DIE.”

I wish I had some good news for you, but there isn’t any. We have three more years of this diapered dementite as our alleged commander-in-chief and he’s too stupid and too stubborn to change. It’s bad enough when a smart, savvy man becomes senile, but Joe Biden started off as a moron, so he’s already got a huge head start as he degenerates into drooling incontinence. And our enemies know it. Let’s review a short and incomplete list of places our Pentagon, under his leadership, will lose wars during the next three years thanks to him and his incompetent flunkies.

There’s Ukraine, where we have zero good military options but Grandpa Badfinger and his coterie of quarter-wits think we should front as if we do. Do you imagine Putin, the ex-KGB colonel, has any illusions about what we can do there? He has something like 80 battalions supported by the full spectrum of battlefield operating systems in position around Ukraine like a noose around its neck. We have a couple of random battalions without all the good stuff that actually kills the enemy (like masses of artillery) parked in nearby countries as a “show of force.” It’s a show of farce. Ukraine persists because Putin deigns to allow it. What’s holding him back is not that America might cause him to lose but that our fecklessness would let him win. And then, like the terrier that catches the Camry, he would have to deal with what he caught. That’s the threat, not a few unsupported battalions of 82nd Airborne guys in Poland. Only a lunatic wants to buy an endless guerrilla war with vodka-fueled Ukrainians who will take their AKs home and start making life miserable for the invaders. I’ve worked with those guys – they may lack finesse but, unlike us, they are serious, particularly when they get their drink on.

Then there’s China. Who thinks Xi is going to wait to assimilate Taiwan until Biden departs? It’s not like Xi is going to face a less competent opponent next unless Kamala gets elected in 2024, and the chances of that are, charitably, low. This is his time. He knows it. The smart people here and in Taiwan know it. Does our failed national security state know it? Probably – anyone can see it – but our Pentagon is busy fighting the real enemy. You know, the weather and insurrectionist Americans who refuse to concede that some men can menstruate.
...

There is more.

DEI is a raced based policy that is put in place of selecting people based on merit regardless of race.  It is really a bad idea and appears to be an offshoot of CRT.  It is all the rage in many universities and now the Woke Joint Chiefs are imposing it on the US military.  It is the worst possible way to run a military unit and some of the brass know it.   The rest seem determined to prove to the world that diversity is definitely not the US's strength.  As usual, the troops will pay the price when bad command decisions are made.
