Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach led a coalition of 19 state Attorneys General in a letter urging U. S. Military leaders to stop using unlawful and immoral racial quotas for recruitment and admission to military academies. In the letter to Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, the coalition writes racial quotas undermine military readiness and effectiveness.

Kobach says racism has no place in the U. S. government, especially not in the United States military. The Supreme Court has made clear what the constitution requires. He says the Biden administration diverted resources from military readiness and National Security in order to make headlines. They are hopeful the Trump administration will make the U. S. military great again, by judging its recruits on their merits and content of their character, rather than the color of their skin.
