In July of 2020 the civilian leadership of the military continued to encourage the practice of deciding to remove candidate photographs from consideration by promotion boards and selection processes to “ensure equal opportunity for all.” Now the US Navy and Marines are reconsidering adding photographs to the promotion and selection process because diversity and inclusion has apparently dropped when said photos were removed.

Navy, Marines May Reinstate Promotion Board Photos After Removal Impacted Diversity
The Navy and Marine Corps could reinstate service photos in promotion and selection boards after the removal of photos adversely impacted diversity goals — the opposite of the Defense Department’s intent when it barred the use of photos in promotion boards last year. In July 2020, then-Defense...

Yeah, it's satire. What I get for posting something when I'm dead tired, about to go to bed.

Isn’t that called a declaration of war. If you attack a nation without that it makes it a cowardly sneak attack like Pearl Harbor.

Like that's ever stopped anyone.
IIRC the Japanese at least tried to deliver the DOW just before the airstrike reached Pearl Harbor. It was a cowardly sneak attack because they fucked up.

That had to do with time zones right? Anyway the military should not launch offensive operations on anyone without a declaration of war. That would keep us out of many places.

No. It was because it took the Japanese Embassy in Washington, DC two-and-a-half hours longer than expected to decode, translate, and deliver the DOW.
It was delivered two hours too late.

In the US, a declaration of war is something issued by congress. I don't believe there's any duty for the executive branch to provide notification to any enemy prior to an attack, and if there was it would lie with the president.

The last three countries the US formally declared war on: Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary.
June 5, 1942.
Lucked out this time Finland...

Finland was a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship. Their fight was strictly with the Soviet Union and would have stayed out of WWII if Stalin hadn't come-a-knocking in 1939.

Same applies to Hungary Romania and Bulgaria. Antonescu even said he supported the Nazis over the Soviets was indifferent about the war between the British and Nazis yet supportive of the Americans in the pacific against Japan. Many of the Eastern Europeans did not like Germany or Russia, but were forced into the war.
