Debating Diversity in Military Standards

This chapter explores the complex interplay between Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and the rigorous standards of military recruitment, particularly within the Royal Marines and Navy SEALs. The speakers address concerns about lowering recruitment criteria to accommodate women while emphasizing the importance of meritocracy in high-stakes environments. Through lively discussions and personal anecdotes, they shed light on the implications of these policies for military effectiveness and tradition.
