Personnel is policy. Although Secretary Hegseth has made a valiant effort to eradicate DEI, the people who brought that contagion into the War Department and deliberately ruined the Armed Forces painfully rebuilt after the Vietnam War so it could serve as a laboratory for really bad ideas are still in the Pentagon and are now in senior positions.
