No one can reason with you. DEI doesn’t matter to shoot a rifle, etc. no , but it takes away from time spent training to shoot a rifle, etc.

And I sound like a country bumpkin who refused to fight next to a black kid? lol. I wonder if my black wife, nieces, nephews, stepdaughters, stepson, great nieces, brothers in law and sisters in law think that I would not fight next to them. Aston, you have nothing but pulling the race card. That doesn’t work with this country bumpkin. You're like the kid that wants to keep playing till he wins. I have better things to do.

No more trying to discuss something with you. What a waste of my time.

DEI has become a boogeyman.

Many organizations are stepping back and focusing more on belongingness and acceptance of differences. I strongly favor this approach. We want every producing employee to feel a part of our culture and mission and do not tolerate 1% any demeaning or excluding of people due to race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. If they play by our rules and perform, they are part of the family.

Training that emphasizes these things is part of what we do. The military should do it too IMO.

You said “the military is like a business” I quoted it.

PS. DEI doesn’t really matter to shoot a rifle, sleep in a trench, or drive a tank. You can be black, brown, green, or almond…. Gay straight, male, female or both. If you pull the trigger and the guy shooting at me dies then what difference does it make to me if you sit when you pee?

What you actually sound like is the country bumpkins in WWII who refused to fight beside a black kid. “All of this diversity is ruining the army!”

PS… if you haven’t checked, most of the Chinese military’s regulars are roughly the stature of my wife.

Fair. When the Wash Post and the local sheriff dismantle the militia story in minutes, it’s not clickbait. And often a situation resolved short of hearings due to the confidential nature of personnel actions. Congress should persist with inquiries and I hope they do.

Can Congress inquire as to why other Congressmen ransom disaster relief funds in the same manner?

I never said the military was like a business. I said they both have organizations that answer to people that they must satisfy by making the organizations efficiently run to meet stated objectives. If you can’t see or understand what programs like DEI does/have done to our military then nothing anybody says will change your mind.

It does have to do with efficiency. Whether our military can face the enemy prepared or face them saying, “look at how diverse we are”? “We might not be able to fight or effectively operate our equipment, but we have 15 different genders and can name everyone’s preferred pronouns.

It’s back to the Alley for me.

Neither the Military nor the country writ large are like a business. There are no profits to be made. Cutting programs in the name of efficiency is not always the proper solution given the goals of the organization.

I wish I lived in the Tulsa area. I’d enjoy cheering the team on together. Be extra loud for me Damon. Thanks.

Grab a beer and go over to the ORU section and hold it up proudly and chug! Then offer to buy one for any of the ORU students in attendance. Since I know the dean of students will be there it would be interesting to see how many might take you up on it 🤣

I believe that’s correct. However the number of ships is limited to roster spots so girls soccer has a maximum of 24 ships a school can give out. The problem for next year is schools have already signed their classes. So if they currently have a 30 player roster depending on how many graduating seniors there are those schools are going to have to move some girls off the rosters. I believe most will do the right thing and honor the money commitment. I’m not sure how many schools will give out 24 fill rides for soccer. My guess is most will not. We should know soon enough. There were a number of committed players this year who got caught up in the new numbers game and had to look elsewhere. Not a great deal.

Yeah, the days of TU having 36 players on the roster are done when most of those kids were given a spot on the roster to get them to TU because it helped enrollment numbers and also with some cash flow. The Olympics have been doing that for years, rowing being one of those sports that brought in huge numbers. Reality is a lot of those players beyond spot 24 were never going to see the field in a game, even in the preseason. Yes, it sucks for a few of them this year as coaches work through this transition.
