Two of things are not like the others

 See if you can spot the two "diversity" hires in the Military Joint Chiefs. Spot them quickly.


Can you guess? The two "Diversity Hires" are - wait for it - the two that are not white men.

Not to worry. The replacement for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is now a white guy.


No replacement yet for the female Admiral, who wasn't "military enough." 

Speaking of Admiral Franchetti

Here are some stats from the US Navy Website:

Her personal awards include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Service Medal (two awards), Defense Superior Service Medal (two awards), Legion of Merit (five awards), Meritorious Service Medal (six awards), Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (four awards), and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (two awards).
