Women officers who are like, you know what, I'm not sure I'm going to put my name in for the command board because, you know, it's clear that we're not wanted here or people are going to turn around and say it's DEI and woke and I don't want to live with that specter over my shoulder.

No, I don't. And here's why. Because I've been, without giving away names, because I fear of retribution for them, I've been talking to people on the inside at the highest levels of public affairs. If you look at the memo that was signed and written directing this, I think it was dated 26 February 2025, titled Digital Content Refresh. You're welcome to go look at that.
