DEI Is Costing Lives and Resources in America’s Military | The Rob Maness Show EP 393

The failures of our military, from leadership to the field level, are stunning to those of us who served up until just a few years ago. In reality, even our current service members who are still part of the culture of warrior honor and ethics are either walking away or thinking about it. Recruiting continues to fail and military officers responsible for it decided to reduce end strength numbers in order to hide the consistent failures. Think about that, our armed forces that once was the most trusted organization by our citizens, has adopted official policy to lie and mislead the American people and congress. Duty, honor, country being removed from the US Military Academy at Wes Point’s motto not long ago was a harbinger for us to see what was already happening, that our military has degraded to an organization of dishonor, the unethical, the undisciplined, and today we’ll show you the facts that support our assertion that DEI policies and indoctrination are rapidly destroying our military capability. Rep Matt Gaetz, who has the largest population of military and veterans in the country in his district, recently said: If diversity officers are all we need to win wars, maybe we should send them to the front lines of Ukraine and Taiwan! But of course, that’s not the case. The embrace of DEI dilutes our military’s readiness and hurts recruitment.” My guest today has written extensively about this issue and has two essay’s in the new book we covered last week from the US Naval Academy graduates Calvert Task Group Don’t Give Up The Ship: Woke Policies Are Destroying the American Military, regular contributor to this show retired US Navy commander, author, college professor, former senior DHS official, and candidate for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional district seat Randy Arrington.
