Former US Secretary of Defense Esper: "DEI Divides Us"

Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: "The problem is DEI takes time and resources away from the troops that they should otherwise be training and preparing for war.

It further divides us, it further starts putting people into buckets, whether you’re based on your ethnicity, your gender, your sex, the color of your skin.

My view is, I’m sorry–if you’re in the military, if you’re in the Army, you’re all green. If you’re in the Air Force, you’re all blue. We have a common mission, a common purpose.

Let’s stop subdividing and identifying people along those lines because it creates friction that undermines morale and readiness.”
