The US Department of Defense published Twitter a post about the importance of diversity, equality and inclusion in the military. Many users criticized the Pentagon for being too progressive ideas.
In an op-ed attached to the tweet, Bishop Garrison, Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense for Human Resources and Diversity, expressed his hope that the U.S. military will see diversity, equality and inclusiveness as an enabler of combat effectiveness. If the army recruits more recruits from different walks of life, he says, it will lead to more innovative approaches to solving many problems.
Many Twitter users expressed bewilderment and indignation at this publication. Someone thought the tweet was a bad joke.
“This is where taxpayer money goes. The army has become a social experiment.” commented Kevin Raposo.
“Our opponents are laughing at us. Prioritizing diversity initiatives at the expense of increased lethality and readiness is insane.” wrote notestatictobehere.

Earlier, the US Accounts Chamber recognized the decline in the combat readiness of the armed forces due to constant wars in the past 20 years. It was noted that the United States has lost its advantage in land, sea, air and space, as well as in the cyber sphere. This was associated with the increased military potential of the main opponents of the United States – Russia and China.
