Defense Secretary Hegseth: "Our Diversity Is Not Our Strength,"

[Norm Paperman]

Diversity is dilution
Take a good drink, pour some water in it, and try to sell it’s better and “stronger”
No Sale in thinkers land

Personally I would much rather have a mojito than a straight shot of rum. The rum is made better by the diversity of ingredients.

I would much rather have a Margarita than a straight shot of tequila, again it is made better by the diversity of ingredients.

This is where you are wrong.

Having a diverse military makes it more lethal and efficient.

People from diverse backgrounds have different experiences and different ideas...which is optimum for success.

Feel free to cite specific examples of your theory in operation of a sufficient quantity to justify rendering it as Policy.

We'll all wait for your response.

Isreal has Arabs and blacks some are Jews some are Christians and some are Muslim they are all citizens.

And some of them are gay. Israel was one of the first nations to allow gay people to serve. Transgenders are also allowed to serve. They are considered by most as the best military in the world. Ours is slipping in rank.

It is rather sad that your whole life seems to have been spent around people just like you in that you do not realize that some people think differently than you.

I would have said some people actually think. These jokers are pathetic. Constantly carrying the company plan when it has obviously gone amuck.

Apples to oranges and rum and tequila are almost entirely not to be drank straight.
And when they are diluted with sweet things they do get better. We are not bring diluted with “sweet things”

once again dumbass troops don't make decisions or policy, Officers do with the help of SNCOs and NCOs

Troops carry out the orders and solve the problems as they arise.

Why not just be honest like Broke Loser and admit you don’t want to be around dark people?

There is no evidence it ever was.

I am surprised there isn't a sign in front of the WH...."White Males Only"

Joe Biden did have a Black Women Only Need Apply hung up there

I have a Niece that is black, go figure you got it wrong

wrong NCOs and SNCOs along with Junior officers carry out the orders of the chain of command.

 

[Concerned American]

Music to my ears!!
We get our strength in unity, not in our differences! The military has a singular purpose, to protect the CITIZENS of the United States. We don't need people in our military, whose primary mission is to check diversity boxes.
Death to DEI. Say it, DEATH TO DEI!!!

In my day, back in the last ice age, the only color we had was green.

Translation: " I have publicly stated that 'Having a diverse military makes it more lethal and efficient.' .

When asked to provide specifics and examples of sufficient substance to warrant applying that theory as a Policy...

I tucked-tail and ran and delved into a (failed) attempt at distraction and deflection using personal insinuations.

I provided no such specifics and have failed to substantiate my public statement on the subject."

Noted with amusement.

Epic Fail.

I feel sorry for her

It is clear you've never spent a day in the military. Military operations DEPEND on unity. The last person I want serving on the battlefield with me is someone who is more concerned with diversity than they are with victory and survival. I served in a military that was filled with people of every stripe---but every last one of them was GREEN first and we trusted each other with our lives.

So you served in a diverse military and it worked out for you.

I did as well, but for some odd reason you are now against such things.

Why is that?

When dress code and pronouns are more important than mission, then the diversity is not in the best interest of the military. Neither are elective gender selection surgeries--take it down the road. SMFH, was there an escape from the looney bin today? LOL, we have a board full of ignorant SJWs here.

I agree that dress codes and pronouns should not be more important than mission, but I also do not think that has ever been the reality in the US military.

It is a story you are told so that you will hate anything not like yourself.

And it worked

Between Hegseth and the wild eyed maniac over the FBI, this country is in Big Trouble.

Yes. We are very unsafe at this time.
