As Pete Hegseth noted in his new book, “The War on
Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free,” West Point issued a
5-year plan, spanning the years 2020 to 2025, “that focused on ‘inclusivity’ as
equal in importance as marksmanship under fire.” That bodes well
for our future. Merit is overrated! We don’t really care if our soldiers can function
under pressure or hit the broad side of a barn when shooting, as long as they
help to diversify the force. Gotta stay laser-focused on what matters, right?
“Well, applicant A is better
under pressure, and applicant B is a much better shot, but applicant C
is a pagan pansexual Pacific Islander! We need that! Applicant C it is!” Maybe
someday the United States will return to being a serious country. But I doubt
it. And it is rapidly running out of time. (Calling Donald Trump! And
Pete Hegseth.)
Let’s apply the same radical agenda
to, say, the NBA:
“Hey, coach, how come Goldstein made
the team? I mean, he’s kinda slow and he can’t dunk.”
“Well, Johnson, to comply with our new
DEI policy, we needed a non-binary Jewish dwarf to round out the squad. And
Goldstein’s pronouns are ‘they/them.’ Don’t forget it!”
Think that little vignette sounds
crazy? Similar policies are in place in many corporations, academic
institutions…and, of course, the United States military. In the still fanciful
NBA illustration, a basketball game could be lost. In the case of the military,
lives will be lost.
We’ve apparently already lost our
minds.
