David Marshall: The Impact of Excluding Women from Leadership Roles

In 2025, the U.S. military has no female four-star generals, following Adm. Lisa Franchetti’s dismissal, representing a reversal in advancements made for women. The anti-DEI movement, led by forces including the Heritage Foundation, perpetuates fear, undermining social equity initiatives that promote women's progress. White women, previously beneficiaries, must advocate for inclusivity instead of aligning with anti-DEI rhetoric, recognizing that silence in these matters only fuels injustice. Supporting fellow women, particularly those of color, is crucial in combating these regressive trends.
