This makes my blood boil every time these racists say this: “ — that anybody that says in the Department of Defense that diversity is our strength is, is frankly, incorrect,” Parnell said. “Our shared purpose and unity are our strength.

Diversity is our strength because Confederate values is what lead us to the Civil War. What we see today is the continuation of racial supremacist values; the moral rot of people whose solipsism is nothing but ideological incest.
Considering they’re coding black and Native American heroes as DEI medals; their claims are full of shit. It’s disgusting. DUI Pete needs to go play GI Joe and get plinked with friendly fire.
However, the 54th Massachusetts is still deleted? The code talkers? The Enola Gay went straight and Admiral Franchetti is still fired for being a woman?
I understand not wanting to call out anyones' heroics solely due to their race/sex but when they stop calling out anyone but white men heroics due to someones race/sex that is a major problem. These people are not smart....
So, only white men are capable of being military. Only white men will self sacrifice for all Americans. Only white families will lose loved ones in war. Will only white boys be drafted? Diversity is our strength. Diversity is our genius. It is the beauty and power of being American. No Nazis!!
Not just racists. They're doing the same to women, included in their views of 'DEI'. John Lennon was right when he said/sang what women are (in the eyes of the world)
Shared goals brought about by including all groups, almost like inclusion. Before desegregating the military, only white boys were used for cannon fodder. It irritates them that when included, merit wins out, so then you have to start excluding again.
I was at a school event for 8th graders today and watched as the people at the military table called out to gather kids- a black girl said - you don't want me so I don't want you. Then they turned to the white boy beside her and he said - i date her - you dont want me either. Table was empty.
I hope they restore every page! Many of these men fought for a country, where they couldnt even vote in! Nor grink out of the same fourmtain as whites, or sit anywhere they wanted to on a bus. I could keep going, but youvget the point
What moron thinks that our diversity and our shared purpose are somehow contradictions? These things are not in any way opposed to each other.
The problem is that the people who proclaim "our shared purpose" don't really share a sense of purpose with the American way of life. They're parasites.
We are presented with nonstop binary choices...this/that, yes/no, good/bad,liberal/conservative,..diversity and unity of purpose can both be strengths. One does not have to choose but seek to benefit from what they both have to offer. Most topics offer a continuum of choice.
This is a sick perversion of our 'shared purpose.' While the administration continues to attempt to obfuscate that its' 'shared purpose' is expressed through extreme racism and sexism supported by Christian nationalist beliefs and white supremacy crackpot theories on eugenics.
Shared with who? Uniting who? EVERYONE, right? Or just everyone white? That's not strength, that's cowardice. Willful weakness. Turning perfectly good allies into enemies. A preemptive strike because bigots are too small-minded to believe in peace.

What did I miss?
And Republicans wanted to put God on the money because money is the only thing they trust und believe in.
Disgusting.
Diversity is strength. Nature shows us.
Not just ethnic diversity, but geographic as well. The military introduces Americans from very different parts of the country, and unites them.
