SANITYHoly crap, maybe the tide is turning. Royal Marines recruitment advert is badass instead of “diverse”.

Didn't the RAF have that scandal not long ago about not taking white pilots?

Might be an attempt to get people to forget that too. Especially if they were doing similar.

Yeah they got caught calling white pilots “useless” because they didn’t count towards their recruitment quotas. It was despicable and a female captain in the personnel department resigned in protest because she believed her orders were illegal and she had tried to raise the issue within the chain of command but no one wanted to deviate from the recruitment plans. She was a hero.

They were also caught calling for female and non-white pilots to represent the RAF at the premiere of Top Gun Maverick, command sent a memo out saying that they didn’t want white men representing them. Again, despicable.
