Over the past several years, the United States Department of Defense and its military services have engaged in various practices eroding these warfighting principles to the point at which United States military dominance has been called into serious question. Such practices include: (1) Overemphasizing and relying on diversity and inclusion in all its forms, including gender, gender identity, race, and sexual preference [...] (4) Requiring mandatory training at the United States Air Force Academy to incorporate "person-centered" and gender neutral language when describing individuals and to request cadets to consider using the term "parent" or "caregiver" rather than "mother" or "father" as not to offend those that may come from a different parenting background
