Indoctrination, not education

At a town hall meeting in the Pentagon last February, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength.’” Talk about dumb. Many former officers, who are now free to speak out, argue that Hegseth’s Holy War against diversity in the military is profoundly self-destructive. In the name of bolstering our nation’s defenses, he’s making them weaker, not stronger.
