When Diversity Fails.

John

Nov 25

Meritocracy should be the reason for advancement, but these days it's not the case.

The story below was a show of just such a thing and the outcome, diversity went into the drink.

People who are qualified and could do a better job won't bother when they know they are penalized because they are the wrong color, have a dick, graduate in the of their class.

Here you go.

It's a troubling sign when our military prioritizes diversity over defense. But sadly, this aligns with the progressive obsession for celebrating "firsts"—be it the first female president or the first cross-dressing, luggage-stealing Department of Energy employee. However, the problem with this unprofessional approach is the shift in focus from the actual job that has to get done to aimlessly promoting a laundry list of social issues. When you lose sight of the primary objective and concentrate on the superficial fluff, your mission is doomed. This is particularly true for the US military, where losing focus can mean death. They nearly learned this lesson the hard way, thanks to a diverse group of Navy women who missed the runway and ended up landing in the water.

USNI News:

A Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol airplane is in Hawaii's Kaneohe Bay after attempting to land on a Marine Corps runway Monday afternoon, according to Marine Corps officials.

The P-8A reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft was on approach to land on the runway at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay on the island of Oahu.

"The aircraft was landing and overshot" the runway, said 1st Lt. Hailey Harms, a Marine Corps Base Hawaii spokesperson, told USNI News.

The aircraft, assigned to the Whidbey Island, Wash.-based "Skinny Dragons" of Patrol Squadron (VP) 4″ landed at 1:59 p.m. local Hawaii time and ended up in shallow water just off the coast. The air station's main runway runs in a northeast-to-southwest direction.

"At approximately 2 p.m. local (Hawaii), a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon overshot the runway on landing at Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, and ended up in nearby water," reads a statement from U.S. 3rd Fleet.

"All personnel safely evacuated the aircraft. The crew, assigned to Whidbey Island, Wash.-based squadron VP-4 'Skinny Dragons," were on a detachment in support of maritime homeland defense."

Nine people were aboard the aircraft at the time but no immediate injuries were reported.

"They are still being medically assessed," Harms said.

Base emergency services quickly responded to the scene, including federal firefighters, military police, air traffic control, fire rescue and waterfront operations, she said.

Thankfully, no one was injured, but this doesn't excuse the fact that a very expensive U.S. aircraft is now a giant "floaty" in the water, thanks to the left's obsession with diversity, not quality.

And when they're confronted with this issue, they circle the wagons, deploying every measure to protect their twisted social experiments. A prime example of this happened with a popular X user known as "Amuse," who commented on the Navy incident only to be immediately attacked by "Community Notes" without justification. This incident illustrates the lengths to which social media platforms will go to defend flawed diversity initiatives. Here's what he shared in his post:

DIVERSITY: Shortly after a Navy P-8A overshot the runway and landed in Kaneohe Bay (everyone survived) I pointed out that the crew was diverse. For that I got a scathing community note saying it wasn't true. The Navy is very proud of the fact that it's P-8 fleet features the most diverse crews in military aviation. 1st Lt. Hailey Harms, a Marine spokesperson confirmed the crew was both diverse and alive. Because the MSM isn't reporting the identity of the crew the community notes community decided my comment was wrong. Annoying and false. Before you apply a community note make sure you know what you're talking about – your inability to confirm a statement isn't proof it isn't accurate. Note: This crew photo is just the one the Navy distributed to show how diverse its P-8 crews are. They did not share one of the P-8 crew that went for a swim.

Sadly, there have been countless incidents lately where women "teams" have wreaked major havoc, from taking over marketing departments and crushing major businesses like Bud Light and Target to accidentally starting devastating forest fires.

It's commendable that women are eager to contribute, but the notion that 'girl power' alone is superior when managing global affairs is not only misguided but also potentially hazardous and profoundly unwise.
