Wokeism in the military is a recipe for disaster.
Let’s begin with a nice disclaimer: I am not suggesting that women can’t be ship captains, or that lesbians can’t run a ship.
What we are saying, though – and forcefully – is that ‘diversity’ hirings in military posts are likely to lead to tragedy – as it was the case of the New Zealand Navy’s HMNZS Manawanui.
It arose earlier in the week that the celebrated lesbian ‘DEI hire’ captain of the $100m New Zealand Navy ship – that ran aground off the coast of Samoa – has been charged with negligence over the sinking.
