The terms relevence and diversity, when diversity refers to a minority group, do not add much to a discussion of how good our Navy is. Diversity of skills, opinions and experience are factors that I believe are are relevent. To say that a person’s minority status makes something better is just as bad as saying that a person’s minority status make something worse. The Admiral mentions diversity of thought and ideas as being important, and I agree. I wish that he would have said that the best and brightest should be sought out no matter what demographic group, majority or minority, that they belong to and that no demographic group should be excluded from the search.
