Major General Takes on Army's DEI-DIE Sycophant...
From Evelyn Webb-Carter: Grenadier and former Major General:
Letter to the Deputy Chief of the General Staff
Dear General Eastman,
Thank you for your recent circular on inclusivity and private members’ clubs, a document so consumed by moral purpose that one almost forgets we’re supposed to be an army, not an HR department.
You’ll forgive me for saying that, to many of us, it reads less like a directive from a fighting force and more like an email from a diversity consultant on her third soy latte. I’m sure the enemy will be delighted to know that, before we shoot at them, we’ll first review whether their club rules align with our “values of equality and respect”.
The men and women of this and most other regiments have spent years learning to fight, fix, and, where necessary, fall. They did not enlist to be lectured on gender access to the billiards room. It’s hard enough to get recruits to march in step these days without demanding they complete an inclusivity audit of White’s.
We’ve taken the liberty of conducting your proposed “review of affiliations.” The findings are as follows:
1. We are a regiment.
2. We fight wars.
3. We occasionally drink.
4. Our “policies” extend to saluting the flag, cleaning the kit, and making sure no one dies unnecessarily.
As for “engagement with clubs”, we’ll leave that to those who enjoy committees. Most of us prefer a pint.
If it’s all the same to you, General, we’ll continue to measure inclusivity by whether a comrade will pull you out of a ditch under fire, not whether they’ve read the Equality Act.
We remain, as ever, devoted to King, Country, and the faint hope that one day our generals will remember what an army is for.
Yours, with enduring respect and mild despair,
