Good. The United States Military needs to be more risk averse across the board.

We need to take a few decades off from wars.

To fix the original sin of racism, Americans should pass an anti-racist amendment to the U.S. Constitution that enshrines two guiding anti-racist principals: Racial inequity is evidence of racist policy and the different racial groups are equals. The amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials (with “racist ideas” and “public official” clearly defined). It would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for preclearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won’t yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.
Could you imagine? The whole country would look like Baltimore in a week.

So, women drying their hair is the death knell for military readiness? Interesting take. Please elaborate.
When your premises are wrong, how could elaboration help you?

Hair dryers are going to bring down the US Navy?

Interesting.

From the posting. "I guarantee you every unit in the Navy is up to speed on their diversity training. I'm sorry that I can't say the same of their ship handling training,' said one recently retired senior enlisted leader."



That is a HOOT and isn't it the truth.

We as a country are becoming so mired in the SJW Woke Racism is Everywhere nonsense that we are falling behind. Does anyone actually think that our enemies are struggling with their identity while they work through these made up social issues? NO they are getting themselves ready for the future. It is laughable that the Generals in China or Russia would be debating the uniforms and bathroom facilities for transgendered soldiers.



It really is crazy how the young people in so many developed countries are working towards real degrees in college while our kids are earning degrees in professional protesting. We are falling behind.

The truth? Possibly.

What we know that it is would be a false choice/dilemma.

A scathing new report commissioned by members of Congress has claimed that the Navy's surface warfare forces have systemic training and leadership issues, including a focus on diversity that overshadows basic readiness skills.

The report found that a staggering 94 percent of the subjects believed the recent Naval disasters were 'part of a broader problem in Navy culture or leadership.'

'I guarantee you every unit in the Navy is up to speed on their diversity training. I'm sorry that I can't say the same of their ship handling training,' said one recently retired senior enlisted leader.
