Event honoring fallen servicewomen was cancelled because it was too DEI for Kegbreath's military.

[Ocelot II]

An annual event put on by members of Congress to honor fallen servicewomen was canceled this year after the Navy, Air Force and Space Force bowed out, citing Pentagon and White House policies on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, according to the Democratic members of the caucus leading the event.

The Bipartisan Women’s Caucus’ 28th annual wreath-laying ceremony is typically held at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The Democratic Women’s Caucus announced the cancellation on Monday.

A spokesperson with the Democratic half of the caucus told Task & Purpose that the Navy and the Air Force (answering for the Space Force) declined to participate due to White House and Department of Defense policies that bar participation in diversity, equity and inclusion or identity-related celebrations. The spokesperson said that the Army cited scheduling conflicts due to the service’s birthday, but it “had never been an issue prohibiting them from participating before.”

The spokesperson for the caucus said that the Marine Corps did not respond to the invitation. However, a defense official told Task & Purpose that the Marines had planned to attend the event until it was canceled and that the Corps has “supported it each year as long as anyone can remember, to include 2025.”

Thank you Ocelot II for (at least) mentioning that the Democratic Women’s Caucus announced the cancellation of the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus’ 28th annual wreath-laying ceremony typically held at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

7. If Kegsbreath really wants to do away with DEI,

he should be okay with being neutered to the point he looks like a Ken doll. He and others who hate DEI can all look the same after the procedures.

8. Have the ceremony without them. The bipartisan Women's Caucus should lay the wreath without them 🤬

12. It sucks hard enough to bend light.

13. Well, let's play this out then.

Women not invited. Races? Age limits? What about the women officers? We do have colonels AND generals who are female.

Do any women have brothers in the service? Well, those guys won’t be included, either. You never know, they might be biased. Should we block those men from attending?

A petty, inadequate, male supremecist, trying single-handedly to drag equality back to 1940s levels.
