donna- please read my effing post again.
Key features!
there is very little pass/fail marks. EVERYTHING is built on a sliding scale. I think that's the one snowflakes can't grasp.
I score 400 on the ASVAB in mechanical and a 550 in logic. They need aircraft mechanics. Guess what. I may be qualified to go to intel school. AND I'm an aircraft mechanic.
DEI scenario. They need DEI people by EO. I score 550 in logic. A DEI hire scores a 450. The DEI hire gets the intel job, I'm an aircraft mechanic.
So. You are correct in the non military realm though. I didn't mention it, and as far as the tower operators go. The reason they were short handed is they couldn't find DEI hires with those qualifications and by EO, they couldn't fill those slots with non-DEI hires. So in that situation, you're absolutely correct, although the left was all about "not hiring DEI," It was a question of having the qualified people to fill those slots.

If you were an aircraft mechanic, I'd never fly again.

Okay, od. But it sounds to me like that could happdn with any recruit, not just DEI.
"Beside the point. With DEI, people who pass the minimal requirement exam or whatever..., not the most highly qualified are often selected. That's DEI in action." - Hts
How about the non-DEI applicants who pass the minimal requirement exam or whatever? Why do you assume tbat only DEI applicants barely pass the tests?
