According to documents the Daily Caller pried from the Air Force’s death grip after months of stonewalling, it’s now official: white males need not apply if they’re dreaming of becoming an officer. The Biden-Harris administration’s Pentagon has been quietly pushing a goal to reduce white male applicants in its officer training programs. Yes really.

Their target? Get those pesky white dudes down to just 43% by 2029. Because when Russia’s flexing and China’s doing, well, whatever China does, what we really need is fewer trained officers and more racial quotas, right?

Air Force to white guys: thanks, but we’ve got enough.

It looks like the Air Force is taking its recruitment strategy straight out of the “Woke Playbook.” Forget about finding the best, brightest, or most capable – nope, what matters now is the color of your skin and whether you check enough “diversity” boxes.

One juicy slide from their diversity report actually highlights how their ROTC officer applicants have too many white guys, showing a whopping 60% of ROTC applicants were white males in 2019. The horror! Naturally, the Air Force brass scrambled to solve this “problem,” with plans to bring that number down.

And they’re not stopping there. In a classic case of military overreach, they’ve launched $500,000 worth of “diversity advertising campaigns” and another $250,000 for influencer engagements. Coming soon: your favorite TikTok star pitching the Air Force, where qualifications are secondary to your skin tone. Perhaps a catchy jingle will help the cause: Fly high, fly strong, Black Air Force pride all along, with wings of power, wings of grace, come take your place in outer space!

Forget leadership and fighter jets – diversity quotas will lead the charge.

While our enemies bulk up their military arsenals, the Biden-Harris administration is busy modifying scholarship programs, loosening test requirements, and making sure the officer corps looks like a Benetton ad. But why bother testing at all? Let’s just hand out officer ranks based on a quota system and hope for the best. No need to worry about pesky things like leadership skills or the ability to navigate a fighter jet.

Racial quotas in any capacity are wrong.

Prioritizing any race over another isn’t promoting equality – it’s racism, plain and simple, whether it’s in the military or anywhere else. The strength of the Air Force should come from the skill and dedication of its members, not the color of their skin. When we sacrifice qualifications for diversity quotas, we’re putting our national security at risk for the sake of political correctness.
