Part 3/8:
Amid the ongoing debate, a military veteran shared his thoughts, drawing from two decades of experience in the Royal Air Force. He cited significant changes within the military under former Chief of Air Staff Mike Wigston, who emphasized diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) within the ranks. The ambition to achieve 20% minority representation and 40% female representation by 2030 has been at the forefront of these discussions. The veteran criticized the implementation of such DEI measures, suggesting they may detract from operational effectiveness due to demographic realities.
