Original Note:
The 2023 DEI budget for the US Dept. of Defense is $86 million not billion. This is a significant difference. They have earmarked $162 million for dedicated DEI activities in 2025 but again it's on the order millions not billions. https://x.com/RepMeijer/status/1858741588546953616 https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/Documents/defbudget/FY2025/FY2025_Budget_Request_Overview_Book.pdf https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/pentagon-asks-for-over-114-million-for-dei-initiatives-after-sixth-failed-audit-department-of-defense-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-biden-administration
