On: The Pentagon fails its fifth audit in a row

Ah yes, diversity, equity and inclusion, concepts obviously opposed to the principle of a peacekeeping mission. Remember that war is not the goal, but a tool for peace.

I'm just not with you here. The fact that DEI and climate change are part of policy for the US military reflects an awareness of the times, not a lack of it.

To believe otherwise is to stand firmly on the wrong side of history, in my eyes.

As a veteran, all of this frippery is a distraction from the actual combat mission of the troops.

[TheCoelacanth → smitty1e]

Combat isn't the DoD's mission. It's one of the tools to achieve the DoD's mission of furthering US interests.

[smitty1e → TheCoelacanth]

Sure, humanitarian missions. However, let's be clear: the DoD's reason for existing is warheads on foreheads. Don't make me get all "Patton" on you. :-)
