Air Force leaders set new goals to diversify officer corps

Air Force and Space Force leaders this month laid out a new vision for more diversity in the officer corps, aiming to boost the proportion of minority airmen and guardians in fields traditionally staffed by white men.

It’s the first time in nearly 10 years that the Air Force has updated demographic targets for its main sources of commissioned officers, like the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.

“Diversity and inclusion are an essential part of our society and key to the success of any organization,” the department said in an Aug. 9 memo cosigned by Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, Undersecretary Gina Ortiz Jones, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown Jr. and Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

The more the service has pushed for "diversity" the less effective it has become, it would seem.  Pushing for skin color instead of ability is a sure path to destruction. :pondering:
