Is The Pentagon Ignoring President Trump's Executive Order That Bans Training Involving Race- And Sex-Based Discrimination?

The Hill: Trump, Pentagon collide over anti-diversity training push

President Trump's efforts to appeal to his conservative base by banning certain diversity training is butting up against the Pentagon’s efforts to build a more inclusive military.

The conflict has been prominent this week, as Trump signed an executive order that extended his administration's ban on training involving race- and sex-based discrimination to include the military, federal contractors and grant recipients.

Days later, top Pentagon officials were extolling the virtues of diversity to service members at a virtual town hall and touting the department’s efforts to fight racial bias.

Update #1:
Pentagon pushes ahead on diversity as new Trump executive order halts bias training (McClatchy News)
Update #2: Army Leaders Want to Keep Pace with Diversity in Changing US Population (Military.com).

WNU Editor: It looks like the Pentagon has decided to ignore President Trump's executive order that bans training involving race- and sex-based discrimination. I guess they are calculating that President Trump will ignore them because he is focused on the election, and that in the end it will not make any difference because he will lose the election in November.

  1. You would think that north of 50% of boys have sisters, When a family sends both the girl and the boy to college or have such expectations, you would think that the boy grows up seeped in equality. I would say that assumption is strong and logical enough that scientific study would be needed to debunk it. Favoring boys say 52 to 48 is not enough to come up with a government program. If it is 5% of less than an government cure will be worse than the diseased.

    So the DoD is taking bets based on pollsters. Since politics is combat and polling is intel or supposed to be has the DoD analyzed the battlespace. How accurate are those polls. Are the polls more propaganda than intel? The Democrat bias in polls is consistent in the last few decades. At the start of every season the show Democrats ahead by double digits and it always narrows in the last 3 months to the low single digits. Should the Pentagon be backing horses that need that much propaganda effort to win?

    If you are the Chinese and you see the American military backing a walking corpse that fondles little girls on camera, just how scared will you be of the American military?

    Trump might not be pure, he has had extramarital stuff in the past and most American presidents have before or during the presidency. George H.W Bush grabbed ass in his 90s. IS it something he never would do except for maybe going senile or is it something he has done before but was more careful? The Democrats in 1988 or 1992 said he had a mistress or something. It was the Democrats and they always allege everything and the kitchen sink. But is the codger wan't senile, did he have a mistress in the 1980s? Whatever Trump did it was 2 consenting adults and not rape like Clinton or chargeable like what Biden does on camera.

    Backing Biden tells me that military brass does not believe in civilian rule. They believe in rule by bureaucrat, mandarins or experts? Dr Fauci's word is enough to lockdown the country and the military can put a piece of paper in front of the president to sign to make it legit and engage in any military action they want.

    Critical Race Theory is from the communists Cologne school. Does the Pentagon want to go down that route?

  2. a bit of history here from an old guy
    I was in the American army when it was segregated; in 1948, Truman integrated the military. I was again back in the army in 1950 and served in an integrated military.
    It was a few years later that our nation saw that integration could work, and LBJ integrated the South.
    Would you revert? If so, then say so rather than pussyfooting about with snark

  3. The military may have desegregated during the Truman administration, but things were having such a negative effect on warfighting that in the 1960s DOD founded the Defense Race Relations Institute to smooth things over. The institute, now called the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute and located at Patrick AFB in Florida, has been pushing Critical Race Theory on the rest of the military for decades.

    I unfortunately attended a class there a few years back. The scholarship was shoddy. History was viewed through a prism of their own ideology. I was there when "Don't ask, don't tell" was in force, and they were actively pushing for homosexuals to be celebrated in the military--totally against regulations, but politically correct.

    Everyone started off drawing a picture of how they viewed themselves. I'm an infantryman and thought this was bizarre.

    The classes consisted of showing films of atrocities and soliciting guity feelings from non-minority attendees. Literally, a kleenex box was passed around (I refused.)

    All students are monitored for "correct" responses and behavior by faculty members behind a one-way mirror.

    Students who used the restroom without asking permission were chased down. I was told that a student had become upset, left the classroom, and attempted to commit suicide.

    They were actively trying/pressuring to get white students to commit to being a "Strong White Ally."

    A strange service school indeed. It didn't add one thing to our warfighting capability; in fact, it was very divisive.

    DEOMI has a big bureaucracy behind it. I think GEN Milley has sold his soul and doesn't have the guts or courage to do anything about it.

  4. I think if you look at the papers, you will find mixed units perform badly. Notions of rape, of division among units, and then we look at actual operations. From WW2 with military units of only blacks performing very well, of differences in culture playing vital roles and that co operative rivalry.

    Then we look at the disasters of Vietnam, someone above highlights 1950's which would indicate Korean wars.

    End of the day, when i got into battle i want to know my brother beside me is beside me because hes as good as me, not because he/she/it ticked some racial sexist box.

    Thats how you lose entire armies, by losing your best men by chaining them to cowards, weaklings and people unlike the best, rather people who see the best and want him to die because his worst cant even match someone whos weaks, best.

    The USA has never had an effective fighting force and their leadership is a bunch of sissies and cowards. I cant wait for the day were entire naval ships are commanded by JUST WOMAN! thats a ship i want to visit!

  5. Would you revert? Revert to being Muslim?

    Why are converts to Islam called reverts? - stackexchange.com

    Would you revert? Now you are begging the question like the loathsome liberal or Russian troll that you are.

    In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. It is a type of circular reasoning: an argument that requires that the desired conclusion be true. This often occurs in an indirect way such that the fallacy's presence is hidden, or at least not easily apparent

    That you ask it means you assume that the chance of you being right is in the double digits.

    Interracial Marriages Common in Military

    Interracial marriages are more likely to occur within the military than outside it. Moreover, these unions nearly have doubled over the last 20 years. Contributing factors include diverse national recruitment, international exposure, and education.

    This is not your Democrat Party military anymore. Democrats like Woodrow Wilson are having their names taken down. Democrats like Woodrow Wilson segregate the government and throw people in jail or have them fired for not supporting war. Ask Singer Peter Seeger, if this is not true.


    Contributing factors include
    - diverse national recruitment,
    - international exposure, and
    - education

    Things have gone too far for Democrats to re-segregate the military. You have to remember that Truman was not a southern Democrat. LBJ who came after him as a southern Democrat and we all seen what a racists son of a bitch he was. Biden however is a typical southern Democrat, whom you will gladly vote for. It says a lot about your proclivities.

    Bill Clinton still won't acknowledge his black son.

    I was in the military far longer and more recently than you. I think you question is stupid, but typical of simpleton partisan Democrat hack.

    Question: If I revert and call for the military to segregate, do I first divorce my majority spouse and disown my minority children.

    You post is so stupid that maybe not even a Democrat could have written it. So, I will ask you. How is the weather in Stalingrad, comrade?

  6. Ok. let us segregate and then ONLY whites can serve and get killed for us. ps: the navy of course had to integrate from 1776 on and did.

  7. And Fred once again refutes nothing. He merely asserts his world view.

    Who is this "us", who is going to segregate things?

    The Bushes are going to segregate the military after they expel the Hispanic members of their family?

    The Trumps are going to segregate the military after expelling the Jewish grand children?

    Fred are you honest or do you just assert without proof liberal/Democrat talking points?

    More proof that the really evil people, who segregate in America, are dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.


    Who comments on this blog that is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat?
