The timing of this article is prescient - I recently saw the video of the Air Force transgender LTC and wanted to discuss the topic with the author, a valued friend and classmate. The LTC is sent by the Air Force to lecture groups about the "value" of Inclusion from DEI being a dominant factor for "readiness" in the Air Force. I had the exact same reaction as the letter written by Peter Ammon - the idea that Inclusion as represented by the LTC is a FastasyLand political position forced by the goverment, and the speeches by the LTC have the exact opposite effect.

I arrived at Ft Lewis May 10th, 1971. Drafted and inducted in the Chicago AFEES Station. I saw one incident there. From then on my experience was one where everyone got along. That was at Ft Sheridan.all but one dept at the clinic I worked at was run by competent black NCOs. I conceded that may have been out of the norm but I saw it as the results of an Army doing things right. Racial animosity was largely absent. We were all in the same boat. DEI could not possibly be worse for the military.
