[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact is that the government isn't making it very appealing for the talented academy, ROTC, and OCS officers to stay.

And they have good options in the private sector. Hegseth has been awful for officer retention. [/quote]

Hegseth has been great for retention and recruitment - the military services are FINALLY exceeding their recruitment goals not just meeting them unlike the previous administration which had difficulty meeting the goals. Do not provide disinformation and do not politicize educational topics.[/quote]

I highly doubt it. Perhaps in absolute numbers (but I'm not sure of that). But if the military is getting the same level of loser who is joining ICE and violating our civil liberties because Trump has scared idiot Americans into thinking that there are countless bad guys who need to be rooted out by unemployable losers in masks, then that does not make me feel confident in the safety of our country. I think most of them are people who are too dumb to do anything else, rather than leaders who know how to think critically, analyze situations and make important decisions.

The dumbing down of our nation is truly scary. And note that I am generally opposed to DEI - I think that if there is a true "tie" then there are benefits to hiring minorities, but that is not how it has been implemented - they often dig way too deep to hit their DEI quotas and that is not OK.[/quote]

So lets say that you have two candidates that are similar in every way except SAT score.  How much of a gap in SAT score would you tolerate to achieve DEI goals?[/quote]

Why don’t you just come out & say you think some groups can’t compete with other groups?[/quote]
