Vice President and Marine veteran JD Vance visited the Marine Corps Base at Quantico today, where he celebrated the end of DEI programs in the military.
In a fiery, rousing speech to Marines, VP Vance told Marines that there would be “no more quotas, no more ridiculous mumbo jumbo, no more diversity trainings.”
“We believe the real strength and the real diversity in the United States Marine Corps is that you all come from every walk of life, every corner of America, and you have got the strength and the purpose to win the nation’s wars,” he went on.

America’s strength comes from the patriotic young men and women who serve our country bravely.
That’s what this country was founded on, and we are bringing it back under President Trump’s leadership.
God bless our Marines

“We don’t care who you are, where you came from. We don’t care what skin color you are. We care about excellence, and we care about patriotism. And if you are awesome and you are a patriotic young Marine, then we are going to… pic.twitter.com/Qs6kkkDzKf

Fox News has more details:
Vice President JD Vance boasted of “no more quotas” in the military as he visited young Marines at Quantico Wednesday, emphasizing that the previous administration’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies are no longer in effect.
“No more quotas, no more ridiculous mumbo jumbo, no more diversity trainings,” he said. “We believe the real strength and the real diversity in the United States Marine Corps is that you all come from every walk of life, every corner of America, and you have got the strength and the purpose to win the nation’s wars.”
The vice president claimed he saw a “renewed sense of patriotism” and a “renewed commitment to excellence in the nation’s military youth.”
After addressing a crowd of Marines, Vance briefly served lunch in the chow hall and fired three different guns — an M27, M107 and an M240B — and an inert Howitzer and a drone at a gun range.
Arriving three hours late, Vance blamed the delay on an Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump.
“I was in the Oval Office talking to the president. I said, ’Sir, I know we’re in the middle of something, but the Marines at Quantico are waiting for me.”
He said Trump sent his “love” and appreciation.
Lieutenants at Quantico told Fox News Digital they were excited to see a former Marine in the White House. Amid rapid-fire changes in Washington, they said their day-to-day lives hadn’t changed much in the military, other than new restrictions about what they were allowed to post on social media.
