Here's what the left wants in the military. If you want to know why DEI needs to D-I-E, consider this a primer:

Who needs terms like 'mom' and 'dad' anyway? They're not inclusive enough.

But that was the exception, not the rule. In 2022, Mookie recalls attending a training course at Georgetown University for Air Force generals and senior officers called “Managing for Inclusion.” The professor, he said, informed the group that white people were oppressors and black and Hispanic people were the oppressed, so they couldn’t be racist. The professor also taught the class how to ask someone for their pronouns at the beginning of a conversation.
“The whole thing was old-fashioned propaganda,” Mookie said. “But there were generals, including Lt. General Mary O’Brien [now retired] and Lt. General Leah Lauderback, and higher-ranked people within this course who were going along with it, clapping like trained seals.”

And this is the least of it. It gets worse:

Several high-ranking officers with combat experience who spoke to The Free Press understood its fatal flaw. “So let’s say we have soldiers, airmen, Marines, and sailors, who have actually been in combat and who have actually covered one another, and who have actually sacrificed for one another, and they are all across different ethnic groups, races, and whatever,” said Mookie. “And then all of a sudden, some clown is saying, ‘Hey, but you know, you’re inherently racist.’ That just ain’t gonna work for unity.”

and
About two years ago, my son had to take economics 101,” he told The Free Press. “It’s a basic core curriculum course, and there are probably about 15 cadets in the class. And the first three or four were females or minority cadets, and they’re all in uniform. And the instructor addresses them and says, ‘Oh, Cadet Gonzales, Cadet Smith, Cadet Jones.’ And she got to my son, and she says,`You'll be Cadet White Boy One.’ And she says to another white cadet, `You’ll be Cadet White Boy Two.’ My son said,`I beg your pardon, ma'am?’ She said, `All you white boys look alike. So you’re going to be White Boy 2, and the other boy over there will be White Boy One.’ ”

Nothing says inclusion like using racial terms to describe your students, eh?
