Republicans attack military for supporting diversity but experts say it leads to success

5. I'm not a huge fan of the military (in general)

BUT:

1. We need new recruits
2. America is an increasingly diverse country with people from different races, ethnicities genders, sexual orientations
3. Limiting who can serve for reasons other than general physical or mental fitness is stupid and shortsighted and will negatively affect the military's ability to recruit from an increasingly diverse pool of people and support them once they're there.
4. The military can do multiple things at one time and there's absolutely no evidence that promoting/ensuring diversity harms the military. We did away with racial bans decades ago, DADT 12 years ago and the Trans military ban 6 years ago (more or less given Trump's attempts to walk us backwards on that) and the sky hasn't fallen to anybody other than right wingers.
5. Supporting diversity within the ranks can only help improve unit morale and cohesion.
