[Let's consider the institution every nation needs to survive: the armed forces. Compact has a short piece today about how the US military abandoned merit. Excerpt:

Quote:

When it comes to policy, the military must maintain a strict separation between values unrelated to the military profession and those values necessary to maintain an effective force. Like a drop of ink in a glass of water, the faintest hint of ideology outside the scope of the military profession will degrade the whole force's effectiveness. Historical examples from 18th-century France to the Soviet army of the late Cold War attest to the severity of this threat.

At issue here is much more than the relative quality of military units. A military consumed by identity politics threatens the integrity of the republic. In other sectors of society, the consequences of shirking the primacy of merit amount to a bad hire as university president, or maybe a missed revenue projection for a given fiscal quarter.

Nowhere are the consequences of hiring anyone but those selected for their professional qualifications higher than in the wars our military may soon fight. In May, the Daily Caller reported on the Air Force's efforts to diversify flight school by creating classes that mirrored the race and gender demographics of the nation. This manipulation of the most critical talent of our military produced consecutive flight-school classes below sustainable levels and far below average. This brutal case study is a harbinger of things to come in a military whose organizing principle is diversity rather than merit.

The leadership class in the Pentagon is weakening America's ability to defend itself, for the sake of living by ideological lies. If that is not a full-blown crisis, what on earth is? And yet, our major media are not interested in reporting on it, no doubt because they have been colonized by the same mind virus that has consumed most elite institutions in our decadent society.]
