The Army's top enlisted leader has removed key guidance that required diversity to be considered when selecting individuals to serve in upper-level noncommissioned officer positions, according to a memo reviewed by Military.com. link |

Well a good "first step", if true. |

I agree … DEI/CRT, etc. or anything like that has little to do with warfighting/preparing for war … Anything like that is a waste of time and gets in the way of actual training for combat, etc. |

Top enlisted leader can be over-ruled by DEI driven college they/them/theirs, ze/hir/hirs and per/per/pers. |

Yes! Good news, on the right track. |

Unless you hear today that he was fired, I absolutely guarantee that this decision was briefed to all of the principal staff (G-1/G-3/G-4 etc), the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Army, probably the major commanders (Corps and CoCom Army component commanders and MACOMs) and done with their concurrence and approval. |

When you replace "the best person for the job" with mandatory diversity. You lose in the short and long run. Just look at our presidential races for proof. |

In the VP's defense, it's arguably the case that she worked hard for her first job, anyway. So to speak. |

Real leadership and real priorities … Has to be the first step. |

The thing you know is that this would never have proceeded from one guy: it had to have everyone on board, particularly given the political sensitivity. And of all the services, the Army has always been the most notoriously allergic to that. |

Hurrah. May this madness come to an end soon. |

DEI is falling apart in the business world and this could be the start in the military. Now if we could just get rid of it in education and government… |

In the VP's defense, it's arguably the case that she worked hard for her first job, anyway.So to speak. I laughed out loud as I read this just when my boss walked by. He stared at me, rolled his eyes and continued on his way. Looks like I won't be invited to the Christmas party this year. You owe me, mister. lol |

Harris is more of the "right place, right time" politician much like Obama was. |

Like her, I try hard – just not quite as hard. IJM, if by "right place, right time" you mean "in a position under the Mayor of San Francisco," you'd be absolutely right. In more ways than one. |

DEI like the Go Green EV plans, both were bad ideas from the start. Funded and advocated by a small very wealthy, cabal of woke progressive ideologs, globalists, socialists, etc. These very wealthy leftists have used their $ to buy some of our leaders in DC and the WH. By funding their campaigns, giving them gifts, etc., etc. The majority of US citizens don't agree with much/most of these ways to fundamentally change America. From the USA to the USSA … |
