Speaking of trust, how'd you like to be a Secret Service agent involved

in standing there as one of your bosses tells Congress that your agency is either incompetent or corrupt?

I bet that felt good.

Now do the Dept. of Defense:
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said she expects within weeks to begin drafting a proposal for a recruiting overhaul so sweeping that Congress might need to pass legislation to enact all of it.

Depending too much on military families could create a “warrior caste,” Wormuth said. Her plans seek to draw in people who have no real connection to the military and to broaden the appeal of service.

Three guesses on just how she plans to do that.
Rather than getting the best people or even adequately qualified people, the goal is to match the force to the census data in a completely senseless exercise so that the people they do get are 20% black, 7.2% Asian, and 0.6% American Indian, or develop a plan to get those Asians.
"Who cares about quality, we need those diversity numbers!"  Etc.

If it wasn't for veterans who obviously learned NOTHING about how horrible, corrupt, or damaging a standing army is to our nation, or how destructive endless wars for big business and the tribe have been to our nation and the world, pushing their children to join up, there wouldn't be a military at all. Do they honestly think they are going to get folks with no historical connection to the military to want to join?

Imagine a world where they can't get white people to join at all. It would be the perfect end result of D.E.I.
I hear a song . . . "Army - leave those white kids alone."

"Di-VERS-i-ty, I spoke the word as if a wedding vow.
Ah, I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now."

And why would an American Indian join the U.S. Army?

Just another depopulation scheme ... so when we get entangled in another hot war, we will lose unqualified military personnel like fish in a barrel. This ought to really juice up the KIA and WIA numbers for the Pentagon.

Biden has more decisions that benefit our enemies than Carter, the Clintons, and Obama combined.

The Secretary's understanding and intent are being misunderstood. She has identified a genuine threat to her and her cronies: military families (like the now eviscerated NCO Corps) preserve the ideals of what the military should be and do. Egro, they must go. Only when the PTB are free of the influence of tradition and custom can they geld and remake the military into the ceremonial trappings of privilege that they want.
Clinton started the Officer Purge.
Obama finished it.
Biden started the NCO Purge.
And now the last bastion of memory; the warrior caste military families must be purged.
Only then can they force the personal oath to Der Fuehrer....
