When Equal Treatment Feels like Discrimination

When Equal Treatment Feels like Discrimination
By Todd Gregory, Erik Gregory

Dr. Thomas Sowell famously and rightly remarked when people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.

The counter-programming from secretary of War Pete Hegseth during his September 30 Quantico speech to top military brass doubtless received a frosty reception from at least some of the high-ranking commissioned officers who had grown accustomed to preferential treatment. 

Consider the psychological mindset of a DIE-privileged general, perhaps someone like Hegseth’s predecessor (the race- and climate-obsessed Gen. Lloyd Austin) or Gen. C.Q. Brown, Jr., formerly of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter.  Or perhaps a waddling, comically obese officer such as the Sinophilic and melanin-crazed Gen. Mark (white rage) Milley.

Such officers sitting in the audience listening to Hegseth’s scary-sounding speech would feel singled out and offended by Hegseth’s demand for rigorous, uniform, meritocratic standards to be enforced.  After all, that’s not how progressives understand the word equity.

The DIE generals and admirals–turned–pronoun police might think (to themselves or zirselves): Hegseth was a mere platoon leader in Iraq, whereas I’m a two-star general who memorized von Clausewitz and studied military theory in the classroom at West Point.  I’m credentialed, and I’ve sat in on important meetings with allied generals throughout the world.

Sexist Pete Hegseth Demands Women Be Equal To Men
Oct 2, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

U.S. — In a horrific display of sexism, War Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that women in the military be equal to men.

"We will have the same fitness standards for men and women in combat," said the disgusting male chauvinist to a roomful of shocked and horrified generals. "Starting today, our male and female soldiers will be treated exactly the same."

Hundreds of outraged officials came forward to condemn the bigoted, anti-woman policy.

"It was absolutely sickening," said Army General Xander Boofblutch on his TikTok channel. "If men and women are treated equally, then we'll have fewer women in the military, which is sexist because men and women are totally equal in every way and there's really no difference, and anyone who says otherwise is a fascist." ...

The primary concern of the US Military is lethality.  Diplomacy is the job of the US State Department.

US State Department was not up to winning the peace in Iraq under Paul Bremer, and it was imcompetent for the US bug out from Afghanistan under Antony Blinken.

The US State Department is failing in its diplomatic missions and politicians have developed the bad habit of deploying the US Military to backfill for a failed US State Department.
