In this episode of STARRS & Stripes, host CDR Al Palmer, USN ret, interviews retired Brigadier General Christopher Petty who draws from his distinguished 31-year Army career as a West Point graduate, combat helicopter pilot, and battalion commander in Iraq to discuss how CRT/DEI ideology has affected military readiness and what must be done to restore a warfighting focus.
Among the topics he discusses:
- West Point graduate who chose aviation after seeing helicopter pilots during Ranger School
- Discusses how DEI policies introduced under Obama's 2011 Executive Order have undermined military unit cohesion
- Explains how prioritizing demographic quotas has resulted in lowered standards and damaged the meritocracy
- Identifies China's superior industrial production capacity as America's greatest strategic vulnerability
- Argues that senior military leadership failed to show moral courage in pushing back against harmful ideological policies
- Believes the military must return to valuing warfighters who can win conflicts
- Created Battle Digest to help today's military leaders learn from historical battles
Gen. Petty is the author of "12 Battles Every American Should Know" and the creator of Battle Digest (battledigest.com) —described as "Reader's Digest for Warfare"—to explore military history in an accessible format designed for today's officers and military enthusiasts.
