Spot on at least in my experience with the DoD. Up to Obama's term the division I worked for in the Navy did decent work and on time. I covered for my manager at a base management meeting. The civilian technical director (TD) and base CO said things would be different from now on, almost all promotions would go to minorities and woman. I still remember when a white male manager asked if it wouldn't be better to promote the best and the TD's answer was what division and branch are you from? Soon after that, almost all management and senior positions became DEI. Soon after that the quality went way down and schedules slipped all over. A lot of the DEI managers had no experience and were promoted because they checked a box. They also started adding overhead staff DEI positions and it was taking longer and costing more to do work. More government is never the answer.

The largest increase in health care costs is the dramatic increase in administrative personnel.
