"He who occupies the high ground... will fight to advantage." —Sun Tzu
For over a half century the proponents of DEI and its intellectual precursors have fought from high ground, not from a moral position, but a tactical and strategic one secured by Marxist indoctrination that has pervaded nearly every corner of society.
The deliberate and methodical campaign has successfully muted public criticism, although privately most Americans felt that there is something terribly wrong with a philosophy that prioritizes appearance over ability.
DEI's commanding role in all branches of the military has resulted in no tangible benefits but a myriad of failures—falling morale and standards, recruitment shortfalls, plummeting public confidence in the military, poor leadership, and with the exception of the Marine Corps, the inability to fulfill basic mission requirements at an acceptable level.
The armed forces have not experienced a graphic, seminal event that aroused extensive public sentiment and exposed the deterioration of all branches of the military. Even the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, which defied nearly every axiom of military doctrine, resulted with every responsible general's career intact, and the disaster was soon lost in the mainstream media news cycle.
The few who understood the ramifications of DEI observed, "The emperor has no clothes," were muted and repudiated as racists to be bombarded by relentless personal attacks or suffocated by outright censorship. But within an instant in front of a worldwide live audience, the attempted assassination of President Trump laid bare the outright incompetence of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), a once elite organization led by an unqualified director who has made DEI the USSS's cornerstone.
