The state of our U.S service academies is in continual decline which tracks considering every branch of the military has and will continue to struggle to meet its recruiting and retention goals. But how can it be the premier fighting force in the world is finding it so difficult to appeal to the millions of young men it has historically recruited?

My guest today has been a professor at the U.S. Naval Academy since 1987. His name is Bruce Fleming and today we talk about the dangers of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda infused into our service institutions, why many young men are turned away from the direction of the U.S. military, what service academy attendees expect to find vs. what they actually find on campuses, and why academia and politics is ruining the future of our military fighting force.
