DOD DEI Purge
Five-Sided Wind Tunnel
A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion position is defined as one that was established for the purpose of influencing hiring or employment practices or promoting preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, or ethnicity.
Since early 2024, DOD has cut nearly 200 DEI-related jobs: Report
By Stephen Losey
Since early 2024, the Defense Department has cut or restructured 188 jobs that once managed its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility efforts — including under President Trump’s 2025 push to dismantle federal DEI efforts — according to a Government Accountability Office report released Thursday.
No DEI-related jobs are expected to remain in the U.S. military after the end of April, the congressional watchdog said in a letter to the top Republicans and Democrats on Congress’s armed services committees.
According to GAO, the cuts to DEI-related jobs occurred in two waves: The first in 2024, as part of a provision included in that year’s National Defense Authorization Act, and then this year as a result of the Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI in the military.

Before those cuts, the department had six DEI employees in the Senior Executive Service (SES) and 24 at the highest General Schedule grade, GS-15.
SES’ers are Flag Officer equivalent. Political appointees come and go, but they serve unelected for decades. This is a very good start.

That’s a start…
Not even a drop of a drop in the bucket.
I have established my own digital currency that requires heavy data mining to find. So far I haven’t a single one. It’s called Fuqcoins.
So if I don’t wanna use them, I just say; “I don’t give a Fuqcoin!”
Yeah, I know, I know….it was a too obvious joke. Gimme a break, it’s been a long Fuqcoin week.
Fuqcoin A!
I love Fuqcoins!
Sweet!
It’s a small number, but think of how much self-perpetuating downstream DEI…stuff…will simply not happen now because the bureaucrats who would’ve implemented it are now not there.
They can all learn how to code.
