“As soon as the question-and-answer portion of the event began, the Pentagon cut the video feed.”

Here's the question you will ask
Here's the answer you will get.
*Pentagon immediately cuts off Q&A

Your oppression is their profession
I really hope enough republicans have seen what’s been happening and vote against the other nominations. We’re F’d if Patel, tulsi and RFKjr get confirmed.

Slept his way to the top to
But he always does what daddy says the scary women don’t hurt their sad little conception of masculinity, whiteness, and Amerika
Sad and weak
Clearly has daddy issues
But, it’s rich that this loser from weekend TV, who bankrupted the 2 vet orgs he ran, is put in charge of DoD.
Get outta here with that BS

But I'm sure he's a great guy; sure they'll promote on merit.

And when an organization is heavy on clique hiring and light on DEI hiring, the risk of corruption, embezzlement, unreliable workers and inconsistent production skyrockets.
Twice.
Then came Bush, and his endless need for cannon fodder for his wars of choice...

You have the opportunity to rally the troops. To unite them around a positive, rousing message.
“Hey, I know there’s been a lot of chaos and turmoil. But here’s my positive vision for how we will…”
Instead, you talk about what you’re against. How DEI is a terrible thing. Why removing portraits from the wall was the right first step in forging a more lethal force, rather than a petty grievance.
How do you think this message would be received?
The negative messaging will become more & more corrosive over time. It will divide, not unify. Weaken, not strengthen.
“I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength,’” said Mr. Hegseth, who served in the U.S. Army National Guard from 2001 to 2021 and is a former Fox News host.
As history has shown, time and again
Once that military force has “seal(ed) the borders”
They will be turned against all of us now locked in the country
They’ll start with Trans folks, then move on to gays, then black folks, then women
It is what fascists do
Every. Single. Time.
Well, I think YOU'RE the single dumbest phrase in the military right now. What's your point?
Racists DO notice race. So to just stick our fingers in our ears would be idiotic.
That being said, DEI ≠ affirmative action
Another is by recruiting in communities with minority groups. To make sure that those qualified individuals *are* being considered in addition to
This has been the reality for decades.
People tend to think diversity consideration is about black and brown people.
Nope. It was always about under-qualified white women.
For decades.
So, formerly single-income households found their taxes going up and needed more take home pay.
Hence, the dual-income family was created.
While the Woman’s Equality movement was impactful and necessary, it was the 40 years of stagnant wages that required women to work.
Hence, the GOP hissy-fit re women in Sr. roles.
praise Fuhrer47 for bringing up such great children!!
We are not safe

I'm telling you, the Evangelicals are the people behind Trump, stacking the Supremes, everything - we HAVE to have separation of Church and State.
