... since 1/20/21, our enemies were already laughing.

Now they laugh so hard, they fall on the floor and can't get up.

Cheesh.

Yup. Never knew the word "zampolit", but after reading the thread title, immediately thought "political officer".

The enemy is inside the gates, and now inside crucial institutions.

Spenser Rapone was a huge red flag.

I'm ok with this. I think the myth that we sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand guard on a wall was put to bed as so masculinely toxic that I just never. Now we can be assured that our guardians are really representative of the broad community and are able to reach their full potential while having assurances that they will all be promoted in accordance with their grievance and will all have work-life balance that will allow them to reach their social potential.
And push ups are so boomer-retro anyway.

Fuck me.

WTF does "diversity" have to do with warfighting?

I guess SOF will go the way of the USPS, Hospitals, School system ect. Regards 18DAI

As long as you can do the job, they don't care what color you are, is what I always thought.

I can't even believe this is real. Somebody please say this is a joke.

Wow, this sounds like something the Air Force would do.

Umm... well, wouldn't that involve merit?

No. This is the worse news you've read all month....SO FAR!

I think we're just at the beginning of a very long train wreck.

I've been out of the AF for 27 years but I lead a Veterans group at work so I have some contact with active duty. Our local Army unit had a diversity and inclusion role a couple years ago and the guy came to speak at my employer. He was getting to the end of his career and I told him he could easily find employment with his background in the private sector, D&I is really big in my field. So, I would assume the other branches had them too but I would not expect it was needed in the SOF community. When USSOCOM posted this on Linked in I refrained myself from commenting but others did not.

VERY Dangerous path these Leftists have put us on....Provoking our enemies & weakening our military will have disastrous consequences for our Republic!

Mr. Torres-Estrada has nearly two decades worth of experience working diversity and inclusion programs and activities in federal agencies.

So, hasn't been productively employed for nearly 20 years. Great candidate.

I've been out of the Army for 25 years, and I'm making the joke because of two things: 1, we were always jealous of the AF because they had nicer bases and facilities than us; and 2, because the Army (and the rest of the services as I observed them) were the most successfully integrated, equality of treatment oriented organizations I have ever been involved in, bar none. If that was the case 25 years ago, I imagine it is even better today.

Integration and equality in the military are some of the greatest social successes in this country's history, and I am proud of what has been achieved.

If there's an organization that DOESN'T need a D&I Officer, it's an organization that has been nailing the essentials of D&I for 3 generations.

Almost, but not quite April 1st.

After the debacle of Operation Eagle Claw and the effort put in to making American Special Forces the best in the world, the fact that anyone would allow the SOF community to be infected with this bullshit is beyond my ability to comprehend.

Our enemies can just shout racial slurs and incorrect pronouns to beat us now.

Where 'Diversity & Inclusion' is missing is Pro Sports- NBA, NFL, MLB etc.

Give them a taste of their own medicine and ram diversity + inclusion down their throats.

"They" continue to find dumber and dumber ways to spend tax money.

Torres-Estrada has connections? Getting fat, feeding in the trough.

We have a SecDef who ordered a 60-DAY STAND DOWN so everyone could review 'Extremism in the Rank' with a disproportionate & fixated focus' on anything 'conservative' or, 'right-wing'.

The Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman, a respected CCT who served in JSOC with a very good reputation, thinks, because the lower ranks are questioning the one-sided narrative being repeated in the mandated DEI 'struggle sessions', that its evidence that extremism is a problem in the military.
