Generals who focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, lecture a “white colonel” about the need for more diverse officers, and proclaim climate change a national security threat seem to be finding rewards in the Biden administration.
In February, Air Force Brig. Gen. Stacy Jo Huser and two other women were part of a panel at the University of Mississippi about diversity and inclusion in the armed forces. The event’s sponsors were the Ole Miss Army ROTC program and the Trent Lott Leadership Institute.
In March, President Joe Biden nominated Huser for promotion to major general.
Hers is one of more than 200 military promotions held up in an effort by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., to undo the Defense Department’s new taxpayer-funded abortion policy.
“President Biden has appointed a bunch of woke advocates to senior positions in the armed forces; at the macro level, that is extremely problematic,” Tom Jones, president of the American Accountability Foundation, told The Daily Signal.
The Senate Armed Services Committee and the full Senate are now being forced to review Biden’s individual military promotions rather than rubber-stamp all of them.
“Sen. Tuberville is 100% right on the abortion policy. But his efforts have exposed that the Senate has done a terrible job of vetting these flag officers,” Jones said. . . . . . (read more on The Daily Signal)

“I know Col. Jonsson very well … and I just have to say I’m very disappointed. This is a very unfortunate thing and he’s in a position where he’s going to be teaching our … future leaders who have to ask themselves, ‘Am I going to get a fair deal from a politicized colonel?’ I’m very disappointed in a lot of officers. If you jump on the bandwagon of the day, which today is the Marxist concept of DEI [and] eliminating the meritocracy, maybe you’ll get promoted. But what I’d rather see mission-focused officers and leaders who are true to their oath.”
