Setzer: 'Military, vets prefer Romney over Obama because most are White Men'

when will someone tell them to put it where the sun.....oh well, you know.

[rbg81]

Yeah, whatever. Next they will suggest we shouldn’t be allowed to vote due to our supposed “racism”.

According to Heritage Foundation, blacks are very slightly over-represented in the military, AS ARE WHITES! Hispanics and Orientals are under-represented.

Not this Obama is half Arab dreck again.

Not this Obama is half Arab dreck again.

He's not half-Arab. He is 43.75% Arab.

Facts are stubborn things.

[Jacob Kell]

No, that notion originated with Kenneth Lamb, who isn’t a reliable source. Ask Beckwith about him.

PS, here is a pic or Barack Obama Sr. Does the guy look even the slighted bit Arab to you?

The majority of military casualties are overwhelmingly white. (Blacks tend to serve in support units). The more elite units tend to be whiter. Furthermore, rural and small-town whites from the South and Midwest are very common, really the backbone of the military. Today’s military is being feminized and homosexualized, it looks like they’re going to try to make it more and more uncomfortable for traditional white male soldiers.

Absolutely right. The resultant PC backlash (blacks, in particular, get special consideration for combat arms leadership) can have some rather tragic results (see 5/2 SBCT and COL Tunnell--if he had been white he would've been fired prior to deploying with 5/2, no question).

I was a very different person 4 years ago. Now I'm all done. If the KKK comes to my door, I'd probably sign up.

Nice going Barack! Well, if you can work you way up the ranks to being a KKK recruiter, you can use your position to launch you Senatorial campaign as a Dumbocrat.

[Repeat Offender]

Yeah! I remember that! The Army was using poor ghetto black kids for cannon fodder because they had no chance for a job in racist Amerikkka. Was just a few years ago. Back whan Boosh was President.

The Marine Corps was too, but they all musta jumped out of the way right before I got wounded.

What was the Tunnell thing about?

[Future Snake Eater]

He was, shall we say, overly-aggressive in how he decided to prosecute the war in Afghanistan. His entire command philosophy and all related "atta-boys" were centered on killing and destroying. His commanders took that cue and moved further to the hard core. 2-1 IN BN, in particular, was run by a raging dick who actually was relieved of command. That Battalion was all kinds of screwed up, and, now, several Soldiers are on trial for multiple murders in Afghanistan. COL Tunnell was very nearly relieved at the Brigade's NTC rotation. He had no interest in training for the counterinsurgency mission--he only cared about doing some Brigade live-fire exercise that had no bearing on reality with respect to the OEF theater or mission set. The two-star that was grading him eventually, reluctantly decided to allow him to pass NTC and not recommend his removal.

We had all kinds of fun in Afghanistan, too. The RC-South commander was this British general, the same idiot pacifist who recommended to GEN McChrystal the creation of the "courageous restraint" award. Match him up with the overly-aggressive warmonger COL Tunnell, and there was no shortage of political drama on Kandahar.

It has all the makings of a dark war comedy. Sad that is reality.
