Biden’s Nominee for Top Pentagon Job is an Unapologetic DEI Activist
SCOTT STURMAN | The Federalist | JULY 20, 2023 | Condensed
As the highest-ranking officer in the United States armed forces, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) is the primary advisor in military matters to the president, Department of Defense, Homeland Security Council, and the National Security Council. Do the skill sets and history of political activism of the current nominee, Gen. Charles Q. Brown, qualify him to lead the country’s military during these turbulent times?
The United States military’s reputation and mission readiness are in free fall, and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs (DEI), which pervade the armed services, bear much of the blame. Brown supports [ [link removed] ], promotes, and defends DEI passionately and unapologetically. Plunging enlistments [ [link removed] ], declining public trust and confidence [ [link removed] ] in the highest echelons of command, lowering physical fitness and aptitude standards [ [link removed] ], and plummeting military power ratings [ [link removed] ] are the result of these self-inflicted wounds. Just as saltwater tarnishes a sword, DEI erodes the fabric of trust, competence, and unit cohesion.
Brown represents DEI in euphemistic terms [ [link removed] ] that are palatable to the public and allude to fairness and equal opportunity. But DEI has deep Marxist roots [ [link removed] ] based on critical theories, where merit is minimized, and power structures are based on identity, oppression, and racism. It is a stealth weapon devised by academics that breeds conformity of thought, marginalizes members of organizations solely due to superficial characteristics, and engenders favoritism [ [link removed] ]. The Air Force faces a 2,000-pilot deficit [ [link removed] ], but Brown’s priority is not focused on this crucial concern but rather the racial and sexual distribution of the pilots he commands.
His unwavering support of identity-based quotas [ [link removed] ] and DEI imperatives is sufficient to justify and rationalize the purge of the depleted pilot corps of competent aviators that is composed of too many white males.
With deep divisions within the military and the uncertainty of its ability to defend the country, Brown’s leadership style comes into question. An effective leader cannot adhere to an ideology that denigrates many of those under one’s command. Leadership embodies Eisenhower’s [ [link removed] ] humility as it relates to blood and sacrifice, the qualities imbued in Shakespeare’s St. Crispin’s Day Speech [ [link removed] ], and Chiang Kai-Shek’s testimony [ [link removed] ] to morale and spirit.
Brown has served as the Air Force chief of staff since 2020. The Heritage Foundation’s “2023 Index of Military Strength [ [link removed] ]” notes that under his tenure, the Air Force’s military strength has descended from “marginal” in 2021, to “weak” in 2022, and to the lowest mark of “very weak” in 2023. Brown’s command style prioritizes diversity [ [link removed] ], but the inexorable diminution of military strength raises grave concerns about the practice. The intentional selection of personnel based on race and ideology prompted the watchdog group the American Accountability Association [ [link removed] ] to file a complaint about possible violations of the Constitution for illegal hiring practices.
Within a month after the George Floyd incident, Brown, who was serving as Pacific Air Force commander, publicly voiced his private opinions [ [link removed] ]. Despite being a beneficiary of an Air Force career that few achieve, he revealed himself as a person consumed by bitterness and self-righteousness rather than a sage leader striving for solutions and assuring his subordinates that justice would be served. His words evoked concerns about his temperament and penchant for analyzing complex problems through a racial lens.
Brown has not resisted the temptation to opine boldly in public about controversial political issues. The public’s trust in the military has been trending downward for the past 20 years and is approaching historic lows. High-ranking officers have become openly political, eschewed impartiality, quibbled [ [link removed] ], or openly lied to the public. Why would members of the military, whose members represent generations of men and women whose reputations are based on honesty, trust, and integrity, emulate the ethos of members of Congress, whom only 9 percent of Americans rate “very high” or “high” in these character traits [ [link removed] ]?
The choice to install Brown as the next CJCS is overtly political. The public should be skeptical of the general’s contentious leadership style, which is anchored in DEI ideology — a Marxist-derived philosophy, which he has aggressively instituted throughout the Air Force. During his term as Air Force chief of staff, the Air Force has experienced a precipitous drop in morale, recruitment goals, mission readiness, and personal standards. As CJCS, is he willing and able to convey sensitive information relating to national security to the highest reaches of government without introducing personal bias? There are too many red flags. The new CJCS must heal the military’s gaping wounds and restore its traditional priorities of ability, service, and unity without regard to phenotype.
Brown is not up to the task.
