Now the excuse for this apartheid memo is “aspirational” but flag officer notions of aspiration become iron law in the ranks below, it is the nature of the military hierarchy.

The Supreme Court made this broad-based discrimination in 2022 for officer selection illegal which should have convinced the numbskulls at the Pentagon to disavow themselves from this nonsense retrospectively in the Muldrow v. City of St. Louis ruling in 2024.

Gen C.Q. Brown testified to Congress there was nothing to the rumors that they were seeking to reduce the number of “white officers” in the Air Force. Even after being shown some of the related correspondence. He was lying to Congress then, and then he becomes the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

Fire them all.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown — at the time the highest-ranking member of the Air Force — issued a memorandum in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers, in a bid to prioritize “diversity and inclusion.” Internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation include a slideshow from 2022 where the Air Force outlines racial and gender quotas and details how it hopes to “achieve” a reduced number of white males in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program.

One of the slides in question, labeled “AFROTC White,” depicts a graph that shows the percentage of white male ROTC officer applicants declining from approximately 60% in fiscal year 2019 to a projected 50% in fiscal year 2023. The graph further details how the Air Force’s goal is to reduce that percentage down to approximately 43% by fiscal year 2029, denoted by a star with the label “achieve(d) goal.”

Forcing the function through illegal discrimination:

More identitarian favoritism to lower standards to achieve the “aspirational” views. Woke as usual destroys everything that it touches and this is yet another example of the chaos avalanche and failure cascade that is plaguing every sector of America.

The Soul of a Socialist

From the pen of H. G. Wells (1908), socialist: War is a collective concern; to turn one’s back upon it, to refuse to consider it as a possibility, is to leave it entirely to those who are least prepared to deal with it in a broad spirit. In many ways war is the most...
