Politically Correct, do you speak PC?

I am not a fan of political correctness, though tact is important, as is situational awareness.

Regarding diversity goals and quotas, I agree with your assessment.

PC is but another form of censorship.

CSM Charles Hayden CSM.... My 2 cents... No.

Let me expand my position

I answer no because the Army, in my opinion should be a representation of the United States. In order to gain that end state, the Army has to provide those folks that have the potential to be something that we, the Military, need for that future. Those folks come from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and sexes. Unfortunately, history shows that most of the time when leaders\managers are not given criteria/goals... these folks tend to select other folks that are like like themselves. That's not my opinion... that is a sociological fact... and one I see play out all the time... and yes even still today in the Army. Unless leadership is vigilent.

I was told by my 1SG when 5 of us were lateral promoted to CPL the following "Corporals! We're making you NCOs because of the the potential we see... This ain't a reward for what you've done... Screw it up and you'll be a SP4 again" and within 90 days only Royal and I were left.

Just because a person of a varied background gets to West Point... Or any other training or school... doesn't mean they'll capitalize on the chance/opportunity... That means hard work.

Again... Just my 2 cents
