As the Washington Free Beacon reports, Air Force Chief of Staff General C.Q. Brown gave an interview for Defense One defending the practice of diversity training, claiming that "when people join our military, they want to look around and see somebody who looks like them."

"They want to be part of a team, and feel like they're included," Brown added.

Brown praised the practice for its alleged efforts to build "cohesive" teams for all service members, "no matter their background."

Similarly, General David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, claimed that he has seen "zero evidence" of any negative impact from such left-wing policies when it comes to the end result of making stronger Marines.

House Republicans are currently attempting to cut funding for such far-left practices in the military; other examples include a program in the Army for training soldiers on how to use "gender pronouns," and a similar training video for the Navy discussing pronouns and "safe spaces."
