This has always been what this is about. These idiots like Hegseth want to go back to the days where white men didn't have to do shit right out of high school to score a high-paying job. To them, this is "merit," which of course doesn't exist. When women and POC started making inroads against white male privilege on the basis of skill, education, and other qualifications, those white males threw hissy fits about "merit."

Meanwhile, these same idiots never complained about veterans preference, which IS a form of affirmative action, but more often than not benefited white males, so it was left in.
