Hegseth stands up anti-DEI task force
Some of the task force’s targets, like quotas and discriminatory promotion policies, don’t exist.
(Snip)
The first goal is to ensure that the department does “not consider sex, race, or ethnicity when considering individuals for promotion, command, or special duty,” although there may be exceptions “due to clear operational need,” the memo says.
Check that one off: neither the DOD nor the military departments currently have any policies that would determine promotion or selection for a job based on anything other than merit.
To improve recruiting, make medical standards match retention ones
The second target is “elimination of quotas, objectives and goals” for sex, race, or ethnicity in organizational composition, academic admission, or career fields.
Mark that one done as well. While the department has striven to attract a wider pool of applicants to military service in the post-segregation era, there are no quotas regarding any demographic, whether in recruiting, leadership, or otherwise.

Talk about boogie men. No, DEI doesn’t have quotas and unqualified people.
