The Pentagon, under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's leadership, is erasing military content related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a move he believes fosters unity among troops. Hegseth has called DEI efforts harmful, suggesting that diversity slogans like 'Our Diversity is Our Strength' create division rather than team cohesion. He underscores the importance of judging military members by their merit and commitment to the mission instead of their backgrounds. This policy signals a larger trend of pushing back against previous DEI initiatives within military ranks.
"Our Diversity is Our Strength" is the slogan deemed detrimental by Defense Secretary Hegseth, claiming unity and individual merit should take precedence over DEI initiatives.
Hegseth asserts that viewing troops through the lens of diversity undermines camaraderie, creating unnecessary divisions. He prioritizes merit and dedication over demographic factors.
