The Daily Caller News Foundation has obtained documents that it says reflect the Biden-Harris Pentagon’s “intense focus” on implementing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the armed forces, even as the military continues to combat dwindling morale among its rank-and-file, recruiting and retention shortfalls, and low pay.
In 2022, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown (pictured above) – who at the time was the highest-ranking member of the Air Force – issued a memorandum that the branch hoped to “achieve” a reduced number of white males in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program.
“Diversity and inclusion are an essential part of our society and key to the success of any organization,” the memo states. “As such, it is imperative that the composition of our Military Services better reflect our Nation’s highly talented diverse, and eligible population.”
The memo goes on to identify officer applicant pool goals, “broken down by race, ethnicity, and gender.”
Derek Jones is a retired Air Force fighter pilot who now serves as executive director of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
“The military is a fighting force. It is meant to defend our nation,” he tells AFN. “It is not meant to be a social experiment or to forward some sort of radical, ridiculous DEI agenda.”
Among the documents Daily Caller obtained was a graph titled “AFROTC White,” which projects percentages of white male ROTC applicants dropping from about 60% in FY2019 to a projected 50% in FY2023 – and then to about 43% by FY2029. “White male population will decline as other demographics increase,” says the graph.
Jones argues the military is no place for racial or gender quotas, as implied by the “goals” outlined in the memo.
“They should discriminate against people who do not possess the skills to bring death and destruction to the enemy,” he explains. “That is the role of the United States military.
“We need the best qualified people,” Jones continues. “I don’t care if they’re black, white, pink, purple or what color. The fact that they are trying to do this is a complete travesty. It’s just simply unacceptable.”
Jones argues that if this is true, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Brown should resign.
Jesus did not employ DEI when he gave out the 5 talents, he didn't take from others to give to the one who did not have, but called him wicked man, should have put it in the bank to earm more. CRT and EDI are immoral. We already had DEI it was called the Beatitudes in Mathew chap 6, love your brother and neighbor using the commandment thou shall not steal, forced taking from one to give another who did not earn on his own is theft, if you see your brother's need ?
DEI IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
GLAD I RETIRED WHEN I DID. SO NO WHITES NEED APPLY TO ENLIST IN OUR ARMED FORCES ANYMORE IS THEIR PLAN. WELL WITH ALL THE CHICOM TROOPS, AFRICAN MUSLIM UNITS, TERRORIST FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND THOUSANDS OF FREED CONVICTED CRIMINALS FROM SOUTH AMERICA I GUESS THEY HAVE THEIR PICK OF WHO TO ENLIST. THEY ALREADY STARTED BY HIRING AN ILLEGAL IN MINNIAPELIS INTO THEIR POLICE FORCE, SO NOW YOU CAN BE ARRESTED BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN.
I STAND CORRECTED BY MYSELF, THE LADY WHO WAS HIRED AS A POLICE OFFICER IS A LEGAL RESIDENT ALIEN AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN THE USA SHE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS TO BECOME A POLICE OFFICER SHE HAS BEEN HERE IN THE USA SINCE SHE WAS 4 YEARS OLD. THE HEAD LINES FROM BOTH SIDES ARE DECEPTIVE AS USUAL.

Standards for enlistment have been lowered down to meet the desired numbers. Weight, immigration status, drug use, tattoos, etc. 'Minority' enlisted troops now seem to be the majority. Big changes in the demographics in the last four years. Whites do not like the woke DEI training etc. And if they do join, not career.
Brown Nose Brown is a DEI hire himself? He's not gonna go against his own interests? He doesn't need to but speaking as a Combat Paratrooper that served in Vietnam I wouldn't like the idea of this load of DEI coal or any of his minions to be part of any Combat Air Support to come to my aid on the battlefield. I wouldn't like a DEI Physician operating on me either. Our country is gone way off the deep end by hiring ATC, Doctors, Airline pilots etc. whom have the lives of thousands in their hands.
