The Biden administration’s Department of Defense has requested $114 million for diversity and equity initiatives, which has sparked controversy and criticism from House Republicans.
They argue that the focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the armed forces detracts from the military’s primary mission and readiness.

“Last week, the Pentagon failed its 6th consecutive audit,” the House Oversight Committee posted.
“This week, they requested $114 million for DEI. The Biden Admin’s focus on progressivism over warfighting continues to exacerbate the military recruiting crisis and calls into question our level of military preparedness.”
“The Pentagon is asking for $114 million to spend on DEI programs next year,” Rep. Lauren Boebert said.
“This is just days after they failed an audit for $1.6 trillion. If you’re waiting for the punchline, it’s not coming. This isn’t a joke.”
“Fresh off the heels of failing its sixth consecutive audit, the Pentagon wants $144m for DEI nonsense?” said Rep. Dan Bishop.
“We need our military laser-focused on defending the nation, not on woke training seminars. Congress can’t continue to rubber-stamp this superfluous spending.”
“Americans are currently being held hostage – and global conflict surrounds us – yet the Pentagon has the gall to ask for $114 million for DEI,” stated Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer.
