Men in the military who like engineering are generally hyper disagreeable.

and and the the only difference between these two people is the pigment of their skin so this fake diversity quota that they're putting on top of us doesn't achieve anything other than giving some officer a bullet on their oer and you know i got pulled into the office afterwards i said way more than that but essentially afterwards they're like hey chief you can't uh you can't say that in those briefings like the way that you were getting animated in there and what you're saying what you're doing like uh yeah this is not gonna fly

And this was like 2018 or 2019 or something.

Just being rational.

Yeah, just trying to be rational and say that there's more difference in groups than there is between groups.

And that the similarities and the way that things stack up, you recruit from a pool of volunteers and candidates.

If I'm recruiting from a pool of volunteers and candidates who are 80% male and white, I have to expect that the selected individuals are going to be male and white.

The majority of people who join the military, I don't control this.

I'm just, as an engineer, I'm looking at statistics.

Yeah, you're denigrating lethality.

Yeah.

The role of the army is to deter war through exuding superior military fighting and technology.

And when deterrence fails to win.

That's it.

Those are the two things that we need to do with our military.

It needs to look like the guy in the playground who you would not muck about with.

And if you were to muck with him, he will beat you senseless.

That's it.

Now, whether or not we should be using that all the time or how we use it, that's a separate question.

But the entity itself needs to comport itself in this way.
