Sen. Eric Schmitt is pushing to ensure measures to eliminate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs within the Pentagon are included in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act , telling Fox News Digital the current focus has a 'negative impact' on military recruitment and readiness. Schmitt, R-Mo.
'So you combine that with firing 8,000 plus men and women of the military for not getting the COVID shot to this DEI stuff. It is just really hurting recruiting, and this is an effort to turn that around and let everyone know that they are welcome in the military.' Schmitt went on to say that focus on DEI actually 'divides the room.' 'It separates people by race when we should be focused on commonality, lethality and protecting our country,' he said.
