I thought a real low was achieved post-Tailhook, were ADM Boorda (yes, that one) went on an excellent summer tour to personally ass-chew every sailor, Officer and Enlisted, for the sin of being male and therefore guilty of sexual harassment, because of inexcusable frat-boy antics of a few out-of-control Jet Jocks in Las Vegas. A truly epic global all-hands evolution.<\/p>\n<p>Then the Army had to go and come up with this.

The email was sent by Chaney P. Pickard from the U.S. Army Aviation &#038; Missile Center using an official government email.<\/p>\n<p>The message named the \u201cU.S. Army Equity &#038; Inclusion Agency\u201d and \u201cAssistant Secretary of the Army \u2014 Manpower and Reserve Affairs\u201d as authors.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) \u2014 who caught wind of the email \u2014 blasted the \u201cdeeply offensive and racist U.S. Army \u2018Operation Inclusion&#8217;\u201d content and demanded the firing and prosecution of Army personnel who used government resources to distribute political propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks said the email is in \u201cclear violation\u201d of the Hatch Act, which bans government personnel from engaging in political activity while at work.<\/p>\n<p>The seminars are part of a listening tour for the Army\u2019s \u201cOperation Inclusion,\u201d led by the U.S. Army\u2019s Inclusion Advisory Team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisturbingly, the Army chose Redstone Arsenal as the first location on a tour that will cover all Army 4 star commands,\u201d Brooks added.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks has sent a letter to U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, demanding an investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Good luck with that, Mo.
