While the world teeters \u2063on the brink of potential conflict, with two \u200cwars \u2062to \u2063fund and Iran posing a threat, the Department\u200c of Defense has made a jaw-dropping request \u2062for $114 million from the\u200b government.<\/p>\n<p>But \u2064hold on, this massive sum of money\u200b won&#8217;t\u200c be\u200d used for ammunition or safety equipment to protect America&#8217;s finest. No, it&#8217;s\u2062 earmarked for diversity initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u2063a report by Fox News, the Department of Defense is seeking \u200cthis staggering \u200camount in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-department-of-defense-requests-114-7-million-in-taxpayer-funding-for-diversity-and-inclusion-activities\/\" title=\"Biden's Department of Defense Requests 4.7 Million in Taxpayer Funding for 'Diversity and Inclusion Activities'\">fiscal year 2024 budget \u2064proposal<\/a> to\u2062 fund diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs across the military\u200d departments. This\u200b is the largest request of its kind \u2064to date.<\/p>\n<p>The funds will be allocated to the \u200dDOD&#8217;s\u200c Office of Diversity, Equity,\u2064 and Inclusion\u2064 and the Defense Equal Opportunity\u200d Management\u200c Institute. The goal is to further integrate DEIA values and \u200dconsiderations into the DOD&#8217;s operations and mission execution, as outlined in their Strategic Management Plan.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s\u2064 even more astonishing is that this request follows previous allocations of $68 million and \u2064$86.5 million for DEIA programs in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, \u2063respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The DOD justifies this funding by stating that it will be\u200d used to &#8220;invest in programs and initiatives aimed at furthering DEIA, and incorporating DEIA\u200d values, objectives, and considerations \u200din how we do business and execute our \u200bmissions.&#8221; But is this really the best\u2064 use \u200cof taxpayer money?<\/p>\n<p>It seems that \u200bthe Biden administration is more \u2064concerned with making minorities feel &#8220;included&#8221; and &#8220;considered&#8221; than ensuring their safety\u200b and protection.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as the DOD\u200c seeks to increase funding for \u200cDEIA, it continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-invites-liberal-celebs-to-party-with-french-president-at-taxpayers-expense\/\" title=\"Biden Invites Liberal Celebs to Party With French President at Taxpayers' Expense\">face intense scrutiny<\/a> over its financial management.
