#2 The Air Force announced a new set of 13 inclusion initiatives Friday with the goal of ensuring the force isn't as white, male and heterosexual as it is now

Simple - bar them from enlisting or taking a commission. We'll see how that works out.

#4 Momentum is keeping the country moving forward but stupidity is pulling us down.

#5 The branches of the military should cut a deal. Diversity will include all of them, not each individually. The Air Force will take on as many women as required and correspondingly the more physically demanding forces will take on fewer.

The Navy/Coast Guard will take on gays and transgenders and can crew entire ships with similar types to avoid prejudice among a crew.

What could possibly go wrong?

#6 Just don't blame the straight white males when you lose the next war.

#9 So we get a diversified pilot corps based upon quotas to fly the F-35...what could go wrong.

Maybe they'll subcontract the pilot training to some Indian call center so they can figure out how to make the "flying computer" actually fly. Every pilot will have a cell phone with the customer service number on speed dial.

#10 navy tried that with female carrier pilots and tomcats: instead of most capable, just drafted some.
remember how well that worked out; this will e more of the same, only clusterfuck-sized.

#11 Yeah when I go into combat I know I want a person chosen for the gender, color and orientation instead of their competence.

Don't give me a good surgeon, give me a mexican black oriental transgendered gay one.

#12 Hopefully the next POTUS will make unwinding all of this crap a priority in getting our military back to combat ready status.

Right now we couldn't fight Venezuela
