I was a military brat. Both parents served & majority of the men in my family. Two of my children are/were veterans, my son has passed recently. I would never encourage anyone to enlist today 😢.
As a 15 year veteran so far i can say that the critical race theory and woke progressiveness has long been present in the military and i can say its a very dangerous thing. Im seeing people that dont know their jobs being inserted into leadership positions based solely on race, gender, and sexual preferance. It honestly sickens me and thank god im nearing retirement. The first time i was put in front of a board for an award, i walked in with my supervisor and he immediatly said well you gave it a good shot, good luck next time. I then asked him what? I havent even gone yet and he replied i know but look over at the other candidates. As i looked over and saw a pregnant black female i understood what he meant. Lo and behold i lost to her despite clearly outperforming her in every regard. This was confirmed later when when i spoke to one of the board members. This led to her making rank before me. This is only 1 of the countless examples i have encountered of the struggles of being a straight white male in the military. Flame me if you want i dont really care but its true.
Follow up as im watching this video, i will 10000000% keep both of my children from joining the military in the future. If youre reading this i STRONGLY encourage you do the same. I have lived this life and the regrets faarrrr outweigh the benefits.
This is exactly why people are starting to doubt the ability of minority professionals. it should be required on your resume to disclose if you were ever hired or promoted via special interests.
It’s racism. It doesn’t matter the amount of melanin in the skin or lack of if you don’t get a job or a position because you didn’t have the right amount it’s racism and violates title 64. As a female who became a firefighter paramedic there wasn’t any special treatment for us women. Not in the fire academy nor on the job and actually they tested me more then a male because they wanted to make sure I could do the job. I actually appreciated that because if I’m down in a fire and need someone to rescue me. I don’t need someone that got hired because of their gender or ethnicity. I need someone who can stay calm and get both of us out.
He keeps saying that it's important to teach a variety of viewpoints, but they're not teaching these subjects as viewpoint, they're teaching them as fact.
Yeah they also are not presenting a counter narrative. Anyone who disgrees with the “diverse viewpoints” will be reprimanded and corrected. We are under attack.
No, but they also thank the Senator for the question or two that they will not answer, intentionally "misunderstand," feign ignorance, and claim not ever to have heard/know anything about it. Piss-poor deflection, intentional deception, and willful ignorance are what they practicing to eat up as much of the Senator's time and failing quite spectacularly at in the process as the Chairman here eagerly yielded his time again and again to expose the full extent of illegality of the DEI's efforts in the military.
The fact a proponent of 'equity' That admitted he didn't even know what the definition of "equity" is and had to ask what it means IS PHUCKIN OUTRAGEOUS 😮
Its because they want to pretend it is the same as equality, it is literally why they the word in the first place, because their target audience hears it and assumes it is synonymous with equality or even "the proper pronunciation" of equality.
Critical conscious activists are promoting ideas so very virtuous and good that they must endlessly cloak them in lies and obfuscations. Absolutely unreal.

6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
20+ years of service to our country. 80% disabled combat veteran. I told my two sons not to serve because of this. Im ALMOST ashamed that I served. IN SERVICE, WE ARE ALL RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!
Yep, I lost my previous DoD related job when I pushed back against DEI. It was considering embarrassing to the NDIA when I pointed out that the DEI push in the universities was probably the biggest reason they see fewer engineers in the cyber field as they actively give those spots to minorities who cannot hack it over those who can based on merit, regardless of gender or skin color. Fortunately, I got another job at another DoD vendor, who cares more about merit than they do DEI (though, they do, unfortunately, care about DEI at the moment because the USG effectively makes them care.)
I was seeing this in the Army before I got out in 2007. People getting priority and promotions based purely on their race, and it wasn't white. It's the biggest reason I got out. I had better scores, better PT tests, attitude, etc. and it just didn't matter.
This is so saddening AND maddening to watch, especially as I served in a front-line combat unit for years in the 1980s. I served alongside whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. We all were brothers and while we all made racial jokes with each other - in all directions - there was ZERO actual racism. We worked together, got muddy and cold together, sometimes bled together, were bone-tired together, partied together, cussed the REMFs together, and had each others backs 100%. I learned how to play a mean game of spades too... We all gained rank by hard work and I never saw an undeserving person of any race receive an award or promotion. My service years were such a powerful formative time in my life and to think what the military has become in such a short time is heartbreaking and infuriating. My son is about to graduate ROTC and he's a squared-away, low-drama, high-output young man. Well, he's already told me he's putting in his required years and getting out ASAP if the military culture doesn't change. About half the men and women in his cadre say the same thing. This is SO dangerous for our national security.
WELL IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT EVERYONE TOO DO RESIGN COMISSIONS , THEN PUT A TRAITOR IN THAT PLACE ...BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAITORS AND NEED PROTECTION FROM THESE THUGS , TOO KEEP THEMSELVES IN POWER ..THAT SIMPLE ...
I wholeheartedly agree on all the points you make. The Army was very influential on my formative years as well. And I too am disgusted by what the US Military has become with all of the "woke" nonsense. Things need to change right-quick or we stand to lose our ability to respond to ever-increasing global threats, some of which our current administration is letting through our southern border.
@@RemedialRob I'd say your unit had bad leadership. I talk to veterans all the time and my experience is almost universal. I went to black weddings when I was in the Army, happily served for, with, and under men of every racial background, and many of the soldiers I respected most were minorities. Squared away is squared away.
Empathy has nothing to do with it. It should be Merit based period. The best for the job gets the job. If you’re best you get the promotion. Nothing else should be taken into consideration at all. Standards had to be lowered to allow women in the forces then those women shouldn’t be allowed in the armed forces. It’s very simple.
Why is the House (Republicans) so toothless. It seems that somewhere there is a law that allows the congress to grab these people by the shorthairs and end these programs.
In order for Congress to do it’s job, per The Constitution, The Senate, must agree with the “Bill” purposed by Congress, and then the POTUS, must agree by signing “The Bill”. When was the last time that happened.? Oh, that’s right! It happens whenever The GOP Congress, caves and gives in to the pressures of lies by compromised bullies of The Senate. A prime example, is right now, with the purposed “spending bill”. Do the right thing, GOP Congress! Keep the promise you made to the American People! Stop the spending! Do not back down! If it means that parts of the Federal Government get shut down, so be it. ❤️🙏🇺🇸
we had a successful military because for 200+ years they were as protocol TOLD to remain APOLITICAL.......13 SOUTHERN states supplied a majority Caucasian recruiting stream that was 60% of the US military and wore their patriotism as a badge of honor
As a CID Agent, we couldn't even have political bumper stickers on our POVs (Privately Owned Vehicles). In the 23 years I served, I am unable to recall a single political discussion in the office or at home.
@@richardclifford003 when I was in the directive was pointed to be APOLITICAL.....you could have a personal opinion ....just not express it as a member of the US military
the Us military has always been political and the USA has not won any major wars since WW2. They can only win against the likes of Grenada or some other small country.
@@michaelkendall662 That is correct. You were not allowed to speak ill of the POTUS either. I really had to hold my tongue during the Clinton Administration.

Yes its being taught at every university. As students we try to warn out parents about how bad its become. My parents are liberal, i try to warn them its blatant discrimination, they treat me like a white supremecist idiot. So now anything that is defending true equality is called “white supremecist.” We’ve lost everything.
It’s things like this to really make me mad. Nobody has to be accountable or even answer questions. Unless you’re a regular citizen that is! If you’re unable to answer questions you have no business in authority in any capacity.
@@JohnSmith-yd5wq Remember that the next time you have an operation. Take comfort in the fact that your surgeon may not be the best and was only selected due to a quota.

Does anyone think that these chosen Soldiers for filling a box, are going to have the guts to defend this Nation? This is Very Sad, and President Trump will return.🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
The fact that ANY form of Critical Theory, or doctrine of Marxist derivation is being taught in West Point should be grounds for charging the Administration and Leadership of West Point under 18 U.S.C. 2381 and 18 U.S.C. 2384 and prosecuting them to the FULLEST extent of the law...
yeah because Marx was famously so worried about American 21st century political issues like critical race theory, the study of how black people are systemically disadvantaged in the American system, which has nothing to do with Marx or his ideas about economics.
@@aidenless3479 You really dont know anything about the history of CRT do you? After over 50 years of NeoMarxist college professors in the US trying to get middle-class and upper-class American students to embrace the BS that is Marxist Class Struggle (hey, maybe because the way they saw things, Capitalism was a pretty good ride), the Radical Left pivoted their tactics in the 1970s and 1980s and literally just "copy-pasted" the word "race" over top of the word "class" in Marxist doctrine, knowing there would be no way for people to counter false claims of racism, and made-up BS like "unconscious bias". After failing miserably to get their "grand revolution" on college campuses for half a century, they finally figured out a way to mentally extort and brainwash students to Marxism--by using "race" as the kicker...
@@aidenless3479 More pretend victimhood. You get equal opportunity... The outcome is dependent on your ability. What you are saying is that race makes people less capable and that's the same argument the Democrats used in an attempt to justify slavery a couple of centuries ago.
@@zytebac It's even worse than that What affirmative action did was to stigmatize minorities as only able to become successful if they were given that success. It insulted the hard work and effort they put in and made them appear suspect, for not having the actual excellence they demonstrated.
This drive for an "equal" outcome is just ramping up. This is only the beginning unless people start pushing back. I dont care about someone's color or beliefs, I care about their merits. DEI will never result in the best people being picked for the jobs.
Absolutely correct. I, my husband, daughter, sons-in-laws nephews and many other family members were military. Today I discourage any and everyone I know not to join the military. It has become a shameful institution.
@@DavidJohnson-yg8qmI disagree.. the problem is pervasive. It is not a simple administration problem. Less we forget that Gen. Milley committed, in my opinion, treason against Trumps administration.
I graduated USMA in 1983. Special recruiting and retention criteria were absolutely in force. I guestimate about 33% each across special recruiting for blacks, women and athletes. Retention was entirely focused on women and blacks. White, Latino, and Asian men got or no special attention when they failed. Women and blacks got multiple tries. One woman tried to kill herself over stress 5 or 6 times and rather than removal on a psych basis they foght to retain her. Yup that's the kind of perskn you want making life and death decisions .
I did a halleluiah shout when Mr. Waltz stated congress is preventing CTR being taught in military academies as well as eliminating an degree of DEI influence. With his, along with similar thinkers in Congress, offices/departments of DEI are heading towards their greatest fear - irrelevance. History will indeed not be kind to any DEI nor its adherents. Mr. Waltz, my encouraging testament is - GO GET 'EM ! You've got the support of the majority of Americans.
"Diversity" has not increased 'lethality' - irrespective of race creed or gender MERIT is what drives lethality... the ability to do the job. In fact "diversity" can be a hindrance as it can require additional training to engender a cohesive tream --- funny how people wax on "the diversity dividend" but never talk about "the diversity cost".
I agree with the right most of time. But the left is right on this one. At the end of the day all soldiers deserve respect. It isn't diversity that's stopping people from wanting to join....it's the pay and after effect of war because our government doesn't take true care if veterans. They leave them to suffer for illegals.
@@Anidawehi A large part of why people are not joining is because of the military's DEI practices. Nobody wants to be a part of an organization that doesn't reward hard work and experience if you don't fit into a certain category.
@@AnidawehiIts both. It's not the encouragement of diverse people to join and serve - thats great- it's the active anti-white position and "equity" (such a disgusting word) focus that is 100% occurring.
When I was in the US Navy everyone was upset about advancement. Not due to color but due to the fact they themselves had issues advancing. People spending years at a job and ether only advanced once or not at all would upset them. I had a QMC who was black. I never had a problem with him due to color. He was strict and sometimes an ass. I had a female officer as my Nav on 2 diferent ships. I never had a problem with ether of them. I started out as an E3 advanced to an E4 I had several people advance before me to E5 or higher during my time in the Navy. I never had a problem with any of them advancing. Many of them were of diferent colors. I got along with anyone in the Navy regardless of color as long as they wanted to get along. Saying that white people are upset about black advancement in the military when there might be a small group of these people is insane. Now I have a problem if advancement is based on color. The reason is simple. Color means nothing. The one's with better scores deserve the advancement. My rate was closed. Meaning advancement was imposible or I had to be in the top 5% or something. I had no chance of advancing further so I left after 5 1/2 years. I got an Honorable discharge. Color/ sex/ or gender preferences should never play a role in advancing in any job.
I enlisted in 75, began my service in April of 76, retired in 97. We were somewhat impacted by these "social justice initiatives" from the start of my service, and heavily impacted by it as I served in recruiting, from 90-93. Our only focus in recruiting was minorities. We recruited for women and blacks. We achieved all our needs with no effort at all, other than focus on minorities. We were well served by all who avidly pursued the opportunity and advancement. The "diverse recruiting goals" did nothing to enhance our Marine Corps. John McClain, GySgt, USMC ret.
I graduated college with an Elementary Education degree. I applied for a position as a Head Start administrator. The person chosen was a female native American with two years left to get a degree. Best thing that happened to me. I started my own business and was successful. This was 45 years ago .
Thank You Sir! I am a former EEO Specialist who was employed by the Department of Defense and Army chaplain. I volunteered to go to Iraq 🇮🇶 to get out of the office at Fort Belvoir. 😎👍🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸
As a White Civil Service employee (33 yrs) I lost 2 advancements due to my Skin Color. One of my “racist” supervisors, however, had his position canceled due to his behavior against me. That was a great day. I also had 2 other Superiors ( of color) that I dearly loved and respected.
When I was a recruiter for the Navy, we, including the other branches, had diversity goals. We had and still do have black upper mental group, hispanic upper mental group, Pacific islander upper mental group (which was Asian, Indian, etc, WINTR (women in non-traditional traditional ratings). Upper mental group is anyone who gets 50 and above on Asvab. We didn't have a white goal. As a matter of fact, we didn't make a goal if we didn't find a certain amount of the above ethnicity goals. So no matter if I had 25 white upper mental group men ready and QUALIFIED to join, unless a percentage of that 25 was not ethnicity, I missed goal and could not put them all on. Let's call it how it is, the military/government did this to themself.
@davidstancomb5380 👍🏻 I killed the goals lol, got creative in identifying ethnicities, MEPS cannot ask you legally when joining, so yeah I found 'ethnicity", if I was asked to put a square peg in a round hole, the square peg was convinced it was round 😀
The sad part is young soldiers will question whether their new leader is the best available or was promoted because of his skin color. The distrust starts immediately
Representative Michael Waltz thank you for your service, I had 3 siblings in the military . There are jobs that should only be merit, or experienced, or knowledge based. I do NOT want any DEI surgeon, or DEI pilot, or DEI soldier, etc...promoting people, to reach a goal or a quota because of their skin color, or their race, or religion, or gender, or ethnicity etc. is just wrong. In fact it almost seems racist to me and its very destructive to the U.S.A.
Waltz isn't looking for the truth. He already has his mind set and is making the evidence up or being disingenuous. And he has no idea what he's talking about.
Mr. Seidule claimed to know nothing about it, then when presented with the chart, stated that he knew in detail how many people on that chart were recruited as athletes. If you never prosecute people for perjury, then they will go on lying.
Its really difficult to prosecute i think. Been watching these vids all day and it’s obvious they these people will lie and claim ignorance anytime they’ve confronted with the consequences of their actions
Not just race...but these promotions, billeting selections, "gains and losses", etc, are also being based on sex and religion and "sexual orientation"...it is basically IMPOSSIBLE to be demoted now if you are of the the "LGBTQ+" bent.
I was in the USAF in the early 80's, stationed at Lackland Security Police Training Group as a Admin clerk which was all black except for me and one other guy. We we both kicked out of the Air Force at the same time.
Hey we have a pilot with 23000 hours under his belt that wants to be a fighter pilot. NO we have some black women with 240 hours we have to let fly our planes.
We were given a class back years ago by a senior officer that served as the head of the promotion board one year. He talked about how aviators were selected for promotion. First the list was generated based on their performance files... Then the"rack and stack" began. People were moved around, and rightly so, based on the needs of the airframe. By that I mean if the first 50 names on the list to CW3 were blackhawk and Chinook pilots and the Army needed more Apache CW3s then those top apache pilots would move up into the list. After all that happened they then went back and racked and stacked based on color so that there was more "diversity" on the final promotion list. He said that then meant that of the first African American Apache guy was no. 100 on the list he would then move up passed all others to be promoted not based on his performance or Army needs but rather his skin color.

Thank you for your service and thank you for your honesty.
This is exactly why people are starting to doubt the ability of minority professionals. it should be required on your resume to disclose if you were ever hired or promoted via special interests.
It’s racism. It doesn’t matter the amount of melanin in the skin or lack of if you don’t get a job or a position because you didn’t have the right amount it’s racism and violates title 64. As a female who became a firefighter paramedic there wasn’t any special treatment for us women. Not in the fire academy nor on the job and actually they tested me more then a male because they wanted to make sure I could do the job. I actually appreciated that because if I’m down in a fire and need someone to rescue me. I don’t need someone that got hired because of their gender or ethnicity. I need someone who can stay calm and get both of us out.
Did you consider it's a skill issue?

He keeps saying that it's important to teach a variety of viewpoints, but they're not teaching these subjects as viewpoint, they're teaching them as fact.

Does ANYONE EVER ANSWER A QUESTION AT ANY OF THESE HEARINGS!!??
I believe the term is called a word salad. Wish I could say that’s my term, but I believe the credit goes to Josh Hawley.
I was just thinking the same. The answer is NO.
Very rarely …… just a bunch of filibustering. It’s like listening to Charlie Brown wha wha wha. Ugh.
No, but they also thank the Senator for the question or two that they will not answer, intentionally "misunderstand," feign ignorance, and claim not ever to have heard/know anything about it. Piss-poor deflection, intentional deception, and willful ignorance are what they practicing to eat up as much of the Senator's time and failing quite spectacularly at in the process as the Chairman here eagerly yielded his time again and again to expose the full extent of illegality of the DEI's efforts in the military.

Good thing he didn't ask him to define what a woman was!
Right??? Damn woke people don’t even know what they are fighting for.
DEI is reverse discrimination. The Supreme Court should strike it down similar to affirmative action.
Its because they want to pretend it is the same as equality, it is literally why they the word in the first place, because their target audience hears it and assumes it is synonymous with equality or even "the proper pronunciation" of equality.

I would tell you why but you can't handle the truth
20+ years of service to our country. 80% disabled combat veteran. I told my two sons not to serve because of this. Im ALMOST ashamed that I served. IN SERVICE, WE ARE ALL RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!
Yep, I lost my previous DoD related job when I pushed back against DEI. It was considering embarrassing to the NDIA when I pointed out that the DEI push in the universities was probably the biggest reason they see fewer engineers in the cyber field as they actively give those spots to minorities who cannot hack it over those who can based on merit, regardless of gender or skin color. Fortunately, I got another job at another DoD vendor, who cares more about merit than they do DEI (though, they do, unfortunately, care about DEI at the moment because the USG effectively makes them care.)
We Want The Most Qualified ! Not unqualified …Not because of skin color !!!!
I was seeing this in the Army before I got out in 2007. People getting priority and promotions based purely on their race, and it wasn't white. It's the biggest reason I got out. I had better scores, better PT tests, attitude, etc. and it just didn't matter.
It was the same in the usmc in 2009. It was disgusting to see. Probably the first place i experienced racism and didnt know how to object to it.
This is so saddening AND maddening to watch, especially as I served in a front-line combat unit for years in the 1980s. I served alongside whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. We all were brothers and while we all made racial jokes with each other - in all directions - there was ZERO actual racism. We worked together, got muddy and cold together, sometimes bled together, were bone-tired together, partied together, cussed the REMFs together, and had each others backs 100%. I learned how to play a mean game of spades too...
We all gained rank by hard work and I never saw an undeserving person of any race receive an award or promotion. My service years were such a powerful formative time in my life and to think what the military has become in such a short time is heartbreaking and infuriating. My son is about to graduate ROTC and he's a squared-away, low-drama, high-output young man. Well, he's already told me he's putting in his required years and getting out ASAP if the military culture doesn't change. About half the men and women in his cadre say the same thing. This is SO dangerous for our national security.
WELL IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT EVERYONE TOO DO RESIGN COMISSIONS , THEN PUT A TRAITOR IN THAT PLACE ...BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAITORS AND NEED PROTECTION FROM THESE THUGS , TOO KEEP THEMSELVES IN POWER ..THAT SIMPLE ...
I wholeheartedly agree on all the points you make. The Army was very influential on my formative years as well. And I too am disgusted by what the US Military has become with all of the "woke" nonsense. Things need to change right-quick or we stand to lose our ability to respond to ever-increasing global threats, some of which our current administration is letting through our southern border.
I was in the Army late 80's to early 90's. I saw loads of racism. Like every day. I was infantry too. You must have had some kum bai ya unit my dude.
@@RemedialRob I'd say your unit had bad leadership. I talk to veterans all the time and my experience is almost universal. I went to black weddings when I was in the Army, happily served for, with, and under men of every racial background, and many of the soldiers I respected most were minorities. Squared away is squared away.
Thank you
Exactly. A person should be chosen by their ability to do the job and the content of their character as well as their ability to show empathy
Empathy has nothing to do with it. It should be Merit based period. The best for the job gets the job. If you’re best you get the promotion. Nothing else should be taken into consideration at all. Standards had to be lowered to allow women in the forces then those women shouldn’t be allowed in the armed forces. It’s very simple.
Discrimination, Exclusion, Insanity.

Why is the House (Republicans) so toothless. It seems that somewhere there is a law that allows the congress to grab these people by the shorthairs and end these programs.
In order for Congress to do it’s job, per The Constitution, The Senate, must agree with the “Bill” purposed by Congress, and then the POTUS, must agree by signing “The Bill”.
When was the last time that happened.? Oh, that’s right! It happens whenever The GOP Congress, caves and gives in to the pressures of lies by compromised bullies of The Senate.
A prime example, is right now, with the purposed “spending bill”. Do the right thing, GOP Congress! Keep the promise you made to the American People! Stop the spending! Do not back down! If it means that parts of the Federal Government get shut down, so be it. ❤️🙏🇺🇸
That's the problem. It's a lot of talk but nothing ever happens.
You are exactly right. I no longer trust any of them.
They lack the BALLS !
For every good Republican there are several bad ones. In my opinion, my State of Missouri has given the Senate two bad Republicans.
we had a successful military because for 200+ years they were as protocol TOLD to remain APOLITICAL.......13 SOUTHERN states supplied a majority Caucasian recruiting stream that was 60% of the US military and wore their patriotism as a badge of honor
As a CID Agent, we couldn't even have political bumper stickers on our POVs (Privately Owned Vehicles). In the 23 years I served, I am unable to recall a single political discussion in the office or at home.
@@richardclifford003 when I was in the directive was pointed to be APOLITICAL.....you could have a personal opinion ....just not express it as a member of the US military

@@michaelkendall662 That is correct. You were not allowed to speak ill of the POTUS either. I really had to hold my tongue during the Clinton Administration.

This is true. My nephew graduated from West Point in 2021, and he told me this was being taught. He was upset and confused over this.
Yes its being taught at every university. As students we try to warn out parents about how bad its become. My parents are liberal, i try to warn them its blatant discrimination, they treat me like a white supremecist idiot. So now anything that is defending true equality is called “white supremecist.” We’ve lost everything.
It’s things like this to really make me mad. Nobody has to be accountable or even answer questions. Unless you’re a regular citizen that is! If you’re unable to answer questions you have no business in authority in any capacity.

After over 50 years of NeoMarxist college professors in the US trying to get middle-class and upper-class American students to embrace the BS that is Marxist Class Struggle (hey, maybe because the way they saw things, Capitalism was a pretty good ride), the Radical Left pivoted their tactics in the 1970s and 1980s and literally just "copy-pasted" the word "race" over top of the word "class" in Marxist doctrine, knowing there would be no way for people to counter false claims of racism, and made-up BS like "unconscious bias".

@@zytebac
It's even worse than that
What affirmative action did was to stigmatize minorities as only able to become successful if they were given that success.
It insulted the hard work and effort they put in and made them appear suspect, for not having the actual excellence they demonstrated.
This drive for an "equal" outcome is just ramping up. This is only the beginning unless people start pushing back. I dont care about someone's color or beliefs, I care about their merits. DEI will never result in the best people being picked for the jobs.
At least people are waking to progressive socialists policies that weaken the military.

Well done Congressman Waltz!!!!! Perfectly done!!!!! Thank you!!!!
The ONLY acceptable way to select for the military is on merit. Any attempt to change that weakens our country.
“We MUST have a ‘calico’ fighting force”
“Can you show me ANY stats to prove its better?” “NO”. 😂😂
I graduated USMA in 1983. Special recruiting and retention criteria were absolutely in force. I guestimate about 33% each across special recruiting for blacks, women and athletes. Retention was entirely focused on women and blacks. White, Latino, and Asian men got or no special attention when they failed. Women and blacks got multiple tries. One woman tried to kill herself over stress 5 or 6 times and rather than removal on a psych basis they foght to retain her. Yup that's the kind of perskn you want making life and death decisions .
I did a halleluiah shout when Mr. Waltz stated congress is preventing CTR being taught in military academies as well as eliminating an degree of DEI influence. With his, along with similar thinkers in Congress, offices/departments of DEI are heading towards their greatest fear - irrelevance. History will indeed not be kind to any DEI nor its adherents. Mr. Waltz, my encouraging testament is - GO GET 'EM ! You've got the support of the majority of Americans.
Thank goodness someone is finally willing to address these issues. And stand up to racism

China and Russia approve all DEI and equity mandates in the US Military.
Yep 😏
BINGO!!!! And Sleepy Joe is in their back pocket....
Yes because it weakens us and makes us fight between ourselves
"Diversity" has not increased 'lethality' - irrespective of race creed or gender MERIT is what drives lethality... the ability to do the job. In fact "diversity" can be a hindrance as it can require additional training to engender a cohesive tream --- funny how people wax on "the diversity dividend" but never talk about "the diversity cost".
I agree with the right most of time. But the left is right on this one. At the end of the day all soldiers deserve respect. It isn't diversity that's stopping people from wanting to join....it's the pay and after effect of war because our government doesn't take true care if veterans. They leave them to suffer for illegals.
@@Anidawehi A large part of why people are not joining is because of the military's DEI practices. Nobody wants to be a part of an organization that doesn't reward hard work and experience if you don't fit into a certain category.
The opposite of diversity is unity.
@@RedPaintSprayexcellent point
@@AnidawehiIts both. It's not the encouragement of diverse people to join and serve - thats great- it's the active anti-white position and "equity" (such a disgusting word) focus that is 100% occurring.

I am retired military of 29 years. There is no way I would recommend anyone to join the military. What is wrong with these people?
Yeah I ain’t fighting for the banker boys, in all their fake wars
Gen Seidule is a great example of the ridiculous leadership we have had in the past thirty years of the Army, and why the USMA has lost it’s prestige.
This is why I told ALL of my children NOT to join the military!
When I was in the US Navy everyone was upset about advancement. Not due to color but due to the fact they themselves had issues advancing. People spending years at a job and ether only advanced once or not at all would upset them. I had a QMC who was black. I never had a problem with him due to color. He was strict and sometimes an ass. I had a female officer as my Nav on 2 diferent ships. I never had a problem with ether of them. I started out as an E3 advanced to an E4 I had several people advance before me to E5 or higher during my time in the Navy. I never had a problem with any of them advancing. Many of them were of diferent colors. I got along with anyone in the Navy regardless of color as long as they wanted to get along. Saying that white people are upset about black advancement in the military when there might be a small group of these people is insane. Now I have a problem if advancement is based on color. The reason is simple. Color means nothing. The one's with better scores deserve the advancement. My rate was closed. Meaning advancement was imposible or I had to be in the top 5% or something. I had no chance of advancing further so I left after 5 1/2 years. I got an Honorable discharge. Color/ sex/ or gender preferences should never play a role in advancing in any job.
I enlisted in 75, began my service in April of 76, retired in 97. We were somewhat impacted by these "social justice initiatives" from the start of my service, and heavily impacted by it as I served in recruiting, from 90-93. Our only focus in recruiting was minorities. We recruited for women and blacks. We achieved all our needs with no effort at all, other than focus on minorities. We were well served by all who avidly pursued the opportunity and advancement. The "diverse recruiting goals" did nothing to enhance our Marine Corps. John McClain, GySgt, USMC ret.
Well done! (not going to cliche the 'thank you for your service' as I am British and we don't do that shit!)
I graduated college with an Elementary Education degree. I applied for a position as a Head Start administrator. The person chosen was a female native American with two years left to get a degree. Best thing that happened to me. I started my own business and was successful. This was 45 years ago .

I am a former EEO Specialist who was employed by the Department of Defense and Army chaplain. I volunteered to go to Iraq 🇮🇶 to get out of the office at Fort Belvoir. 😎👍🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸
As a White Civil Service employee (33 yrs) I lost 2 advancements due to my Skin Color. One of my “racist” supervisors, however, had his position canceled due to his behavior against me. That was a great day. I also had 2 other Superiors ( of color) that I dearly loved and respected.
When I was a recruiter for the Navy, we, including the other branches, had diversity goals.
We had and still do have black upper mental group, hispanic upper mental group, Pacific islander upper mental group (which was Asian, Indian, etc, WINTR (women in non-traditional traditional ratings). Upper mental group is anyone who gets 50 and above on Asvab. We didn't have a white goal. As a matter of fact, we didn't make a goal if we didn't find a certain amount of the above ethnicity goals. So no matter if I had 25 white upper mental group men ready and QUALIFIED to join, unless a percentage of that 25 was not ethnicity, I missed goal and could not put them all on.
Let's call it how it is, the military/government did this to themself.
No. You helped them do this, to your shame you were an active part of it. Own it and apologise to all the decent people.
@davidstancomb5380 👍🏻 I killed the goals lol, got creative in identifying ethnicities, MEPS cannot ask you legally when joining, so yeah I found 'ethnicity", if I was asked to put a square peg in a round hole, the square peg was convinced it was round 😀
The sad thing is 'upper mental group' is merely 'better than the mean by only 1 point'.

Representative Michael Waltz thank you for your service, I had 3 siblings in the military . There are jobs that should only be merit, or experienced, or knowledge based. I do NOT want any DEI surgeon, or DEI pilot, or DEI soldier, etc...promoting people, to reach a goal or a quota because of their skin color, or their race, or religion, or gender, or ethnicity etc. is just wrong. In fact it almost seems racist to me and its very destructive to the U.S.A.
I hope Loyd Austin's transition goes smooth. The 2024 Woman of the year is a lock, if that's the case.
Waltz isn't looking for the truth. He already has his mind set and is making the evidence up or being disingenuous. And he has no idea what he's talking about.
Mr. Seidule claimed to know nothing about it, then when presented with the chart, stated that he knew in detail how many people on that chart were recruited as athletes. If you never prosecute people for perjury, then they will go on lying.
Its really difficult to prosecute i think. Been watching these vids all day and it’s obvious they these people will lie and claim ignorance anytime they’ve confronted with the consequences of their actions
Great job Rep Waltz, calling out all this woke craziness. You wonder why recruiting is way down.
Not just race...but these promotions, billeting selections, "gains and losses", etc, are also being based on sex and religion and "sexual orientation"...it is basically IMPOSSIBLE to be demoted now if you are of the the "LGBTQ+" bent.
He says those goals don’t exist then proceeds to point out athletic goals. How’d he know if they didn’t exist when he was on the board?
The script of these DEI educators is ignorance. What is that, I never heard that, I don't know that, but yet they are in charge.

This is incredibly disturbing. I'm proud of this congressman for exposing it.
We were given a class back years ago by a senior officer that served as the head of the promotion board one year.
He talked about how aviators were selected for promotion. First the list was generated based on their performance files... Then the"rack and stack" began. People were moved around, and rightly so, based on the needs of the airframe.
By that I mean if the first 50 names on the list to CW3 were blackhawk and Chinook pilots and the Army needed more Apache CW3s then those top apache pilots would move up into the list.
After all that happened they then went back and racked and stacked based on color so that there was more "diversity" on the final promotion list. He said that then meant that of the first African American Apache guy was no. 100 on the list he would then move up passed all others to be promoted not based on his performance or Army needs but rather his skin color.
EVERYTHING SHOULD BE BASED ON ABILITY. PERIOD.
