US Pentagon rolls out 'equity' plan - I like this option of Fox News reading out the articles to you

Pentagon rolls out 'equity' plan (Archive)

The Department of Defense issued an equity report, aiming to equalize outcomes for employees and partners across racial, sexual and gender lines.

The DOD released its equity report alongside all other departments of President Biden's administration this week. In the text, the DOD explained a series of procedural changes to better align with the White House's demands for "equity."

"While the Department has historically focused on increasing equity within the DOD community, the collective actions described in this plan represent a shift in the Department’s approach and focus to better ensure that we leverage our capabilities to create opportunities for all Americans," the Department of Defense wrote in its report.

The DOD report offers a series of plans moving forward that "will identify potential barriers that underserved communities and individuals face regarding Federal programs."

First, the DOD announced it will seek to rearrange its supply chain in order to open up opportunities for underserved communities. It will also bolster a variety of programs aimed at assisting those same communities in the area of military bases, such as American Indian initiatives and environmental efforts.

In February 2021, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered military leaders at all levels of command to facilitate "discussion of the principle that all those who support DOD’s mission deserve an environment free of discrimination, hate and harassment."

The report continued, "This included a focus on how extremist or dissident ideologies violate the fundamental principles of the Department."

The DOD went on to note its increased tolerance for military service by transgender soldiers.

"DOD took steps to ensure transgender individuals who wished to serve in the military and could meet the appropriate standards were able to do so openly and free from discrimination," the report stated.

The DOD also announced it will be making targeted investments into minority communities, committing to "invest in underserved communities and expand access to DoD programs and opportunities by increasing investments in Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and investments in K-12 and K-20 programs."

After more than a year of review, more than 90 federal agencies, including all major Cabinet departments, began releasing their "equity action plans" on Thursday.

These changes are the product of an executive order President Joe Biden signed hours after taking office with the goal of advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities across the federal government.

The Justice Department is improving language access to its programs to help people with limited English proficiency better report crimes. The Interior Department is providing technical assistance to Native American tribes to help them apply for grants. The Energy Department is helping low-income households access programs to weatherize their homes and save energy.

The Department of Education has released a document outlining its plan to increase "equity" in U.S. schools. The 19-page report explains the Education Department's plan to implement President Biden's "Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government." The administration has been tasked with strategizing equitable outcomes via intervention by the federal government into institutions perceived as biased.

"As we enter a new era of possibility for our nation, education must be at the forefront of our recovery, rebuilding and resiliency efforts," the department wrote in the report. "To meet this potential, our nation’s education system must reckon with and address the long-standing disparities that students from underserved communities face in achieving equal education opportunity."

I welcome this. American white men should realize that this country hates them and that they shouldn’t fight or die for it any longer. Anything that makes that clearer is a positive in my book.

I had this talk with my buddy at the ballgame recently when he was getting irritated that a few people weren't fully respecting the Star Spangled Banner. He's always been super patriotic, but after the song & flyover was done, I reminded him that country he's tearing up over is gone and he's now saluting a flag that rewards trannies and anti-white rhetoric and other degeneracy with great fervor. You could see the lightbulb go off as the realization started to sink in.

The Army already is having a recruiting crisis. Anecdotally, My family is two generation Army. There won't be a third.

Funny thing, I don't see many KF members that were in the military actively advocate for heading in the military. Even @JosephStalin only says to head in if you know exactly what you want, and that's the kindest thing I hear. @Jet Fuel Johnny has far harsher words for the military as a whole, but he saw the whole shitshow that really set in after Desert Storm didn't go how the pencil pushers wanted.

I wish I had the country that was sold to me when I was in school in the 2000's, this gay bullshit is depressing to see every day. If someone were to crash a plane into the Sears Tower I doubt there'd be anywhere near the reaction among Americans that they had when the World Trade Centers were attacked. Sure as hell wouldn't be the same reaction if Biden was assassinated compared to Kennedy's assassination either. The past two decades have done their best to ruin any sense of national unity and it is equal parts depressing and horrifying.

Rejoice, comrades. The American machine swallows its own poison.

I'm getting more and more excited for WW3. It'll be so fun to watch America get its shit pushed in.

I wish I had the USA of 1960. Seemed like America could do anything. Overall a happier country.

But things always change. America changed, in some ways for the better, some ways for the worse.

For some years now, it's been two nations within one country. The nations aren't defined geographically, since you have members of each nation living in all geographic areas. The nations are defined by their values, conservative vice liberal. But then you have many, many people in the middle, like me, with some conservative values interspersed. In a nutshell, just another way of describing the normal American situation. The unity is there on some issues, and absent on others.

Social media and media in general have atomized the conversation I think. That and the embrace of politics as a mutated stand in for religion. Even during the height of the Civil Rights rancor, nobody on either side blanket assumed their political opponents were evil. Just misguided.

Now elections have taken on almost apocalyptic significance. It's a redo of the 1830s to 1850s all over again sadly.

I wonder how the Equity will affect the promotion lists.

Are they just going to finally come right out and admit it that selection for promotion has race as a qualifier?

Or are they still going to act like they don't promote Sheeniqua with 2 Article-15's, 30 counselling statements, who's never been to the work site over John Whyte who has a perfect record, doesn't need waivers, and actually works?

You already know the answer, within 10 years if nothing changes we'll have Sheenikween as the units DIE (read political commissar) officer getting paid o-3 rate as an E-1.

So pessimistic. She'll actually be a warrant officer and never gone through basic or OCS, let alone the Academy. But can still get the CO fired for micro aggressions.

Whats even sadder is we'll win easily, and they'll champion this diversity shit as the reason.
