The definition of extremism has not been determined and the mandatory training, etc...using such terminology, is all very problematic. These types of programs are creating huge morale problems and if continued will cause a large number/percentage of veteran troops to leave the service. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a ridiculous concept for any meritocracy, especially the US military. Promotion and filling of slots must not be based on these ideas, to do so, will definitely degrade fighting ability, morale, readiness etc... The 'right representation' is such a wrong headed way of thinking for the Sec of Def. So much of this meeting and questioning was about politics and ideology as opposed to defending the nation and how the military can better do that.
