“This young Coast Guard ensign asked me, ‘What about that all white-male staff you just walked in here with?’” Mullen said. Two years after hearing that ensign’s question, the admiral said he gathered his personal staff. “I stood back from that and looked … and I think I was the only white guy in the room,” Mullen said. “It was all women and minorities. And what really struck me that day was how disappointed I was in myself that it took me so long. Because this was the best talent, the most talent, I’d ever seen in a room … person by person.”

This is such crap.

These "white males" who got accepted to West Point, the Naval Academy, or top universities on ROTC scholarships has to compete for those with their sex and race as a DISADVANTAGE.

There are not quota points on the numerous boards for being a white male. You have to get by with your academic, sports, SAT, and individual records, because there are not quotas for you.

Next, this "talent in the room" is a platitude of the worst sort. How does he know that? Is he saying a room full of women and minorities is more talented than any room full of white men?

Yup.

Talk about discrimination!

This heavy handed PC mindlessness is coming straight from the top: The Community Organizer and Secretary Gates.

On top of the "Gay" directive, the military should be effectively destroyed in about 18 months.

For his follow on act of stupidity, watch for Mullen to push for "diversity" recruitment of gays and lesbians into the academies and for openly gay and lesbian officers to be groomed for promotion to flag rank--on the basis of their sexual behavior. He has to. He is pushing for blacks and Hispanics on a similar basis. And gay/lesbian is simply the new black/Hispanic.

You've got that right. I applied for Navy ROTC at 17. 3.5 GPA with AP credits, 1360 SAT, Eagle Scout, Boys State, Honor Society, 2 varsity letters, and letters of recommendation from 2 O-6s.

Denied.

The O-3 who interviewed me called with the bad news. He said off the record that I was the wrong color. White. I never applied for the acadamies, but he said the acadamies implemented quotas, which was making ROTC more competitive, on top of which ROTC quotas were also placed.

I felt worse for my father than I did for myself.
