But Biden’s National Security Strategy says diversity is our strength.
As Heritage and the Wall Street Journal note, “From 2005 to 2020, the U.S. fleet grew to 296 warships from 291, while China’s navy grew to 360 from 216.” The Navy however is focused on inclusion and diversity. The situation at the Air Force is much worse with the Heritage report warning that “the munitions stockpile” would probably “not support a peer-level fight that lasted more than a few weeks”. But the Air Force is also focused on diversity and inclusion.
The Navy is rated as very weak in capacity and weak in readiness. The Air Force ranks as very weak due to “problems with pilot production and retention, an extraordinarily small amount of time in the cockpit for pilots, and a fleet of aircraft that continues to age”. The Heritage index warns that “there is little doubt that it would struggle in war with a peer competitor”.
The Space Force is described as weak because “there is little evidence that the USSF has improved its readiness to provide nearly real-time support to operational and tactical levels of force operations or that it is ready in any way to execute defensive and offensive counterspace operations.”
Only the Marine Corps is rated as strong. Even our nuclear capabilities are slipping with “Russia and China are aggressively expanding the types and quantities of nuclear weapons in their inventories. Nearly all components of the nuclear enterprise are at a tipping point with respect to replacement or modernization and have no margin left for delays in schedule.”
It’s no coincidence that the ‘wokest’ service branches also show up as the weakest.
The takeaway from the Heritage report that “the current U.S. military force is at significant risk of not being able to meet the demands of a single major regional conflict while also attending to various presence and engagement activities” should be a grave warning and a wake up call.
Anyone worried about these numbers will find scant comfort in Biden’s new National Security Strategy released earlier in October. The NSS is supposed to define an administration’s vision. And Biden’s NSS is depressingly faithful to the woke obsessions that have...

I watched a highly profitable company that had a management team that was put into place based on their skillsets. It was an industry reliant on Electrical Engineers. EE's are typically 90+% white males so the management of the company was about 90% white males. The small company was bought out by a large company that had a small segment in our core industry. Because the large company had many government contracts we needed to get our management team more diverse. Basically if you were white/male any management position was no longer in your career path. If somebody hit one or two points on the diversity schedule and could spell management they got a manager position. Bad managers make bad business decisions. In 4 years time our division was loosing money hand over fist. Large company sold us off. The company that had bought us weeded out most of the bad managers and replaced them with competent management. I still had one of the bad managers. Prior to this my manager and I were field service techs where I got redirected to fix about 60 of his service calls after he had left them as he did not finish the job or misdiagnosed the issue. The previous manger paired us together with me as the senior tech so I could help get him up to speed. After 4 months he quit and jumped to our competition. I advanced to senior field engineer and was being groomed for my managers position and didn't even get an interview for the position when it became available. A year later after my white EE manager was offered an exit package the minority tech I had been paired with was hired as the new manager. He couldn't cut it as a tech and certainly didn't cut it as a manager. I suffered under him for 18 months with his fouled up scheduling and half assed resources. It wasn't all bad, minority manager had me sitting in a 4 star hotel in Germany waiting on 18 fiber modems for an upgrade for 5 months. I never installed them as I was redirected to Australia to fix something that should have been fixed over the phone. I had a two week vacation hitting the 4 sites we had there for customer appreciation service calls. Lost big bucks on that trip. Old white manager I flew business class, received bonuses, and had a 110% profit ratio. Diversity manager I flew economy, no bonuses, and had a 4% profitability ratio. I took a lateral move that was a dead end job but working a much better team that I rode out until I retired.
