Okay, to respond to your rather disjointed reply:

1) The Sikhs seem to be trouble making political activist in the military.

> Please cite a source for this.

2) Reagan wasn’t told what to do, the ex-Army captain did what was right in regards to telling the Sikhs to go military or move on to other work, Obama agrees with you.

What ex-Army Captain? What are you talking about?

3) I asked you “”I would like to see your numbers for all those claims you made about the GIs who practice Sikhism.”” as you keep using Sikh political activist sites, you didn’t show me those numbers.

I looked through your previous posts addressed to me, and didn’t see your quotation supposedly addressed to me. Did you write that to someone else? If it is in quotations, I assume you are referring to an actual quote.

Also, I gave the link to *a* Sikh site, that lauded the performance of Sikhs in the military. Do you suggest these people do not or did not exist?

Finally, I note that you did not respond to my request for a citation that would explain your dislike of Sikhs. Do you have one, or is it just you?

1)The Sikhs are famous for causing problems for the US military.

Look at the link I provided for you in post 9, as an example of their anti-military activism.

2) Remember Ronald Reagan? The ex-army captain who served in uniform for 9 years?

3) When you were looking through my posts to you for the quote “”I would like to see your numbers for all those claims you made about the GIs who practice Sikhism.”” did you look in post 17?

4) Showing me a list of 10 Sihks, who have served as ordinary soldiers, is not the evidence I asked for to prove your claims of ***”In the US military, as enlisted they typically advance to senior NCO, and as officers, to higher ranks, though they have been excluded from flag officer ratings.
In the US military, they tend to prefer Infantry combat arms, in elite units if possible, and Medical Corps as physicians. Their competency in either is unchallenged.
Excluding them to me is like excluding Methodists, except Sikhs tend to have better motivation and drive.”***

5) I don’t dislike Sikhs, I have no interest in them, until they started fighting against my military and bringing in their left wing activism to it, I agree with Reagan, you agree with Obama, I like my team’s judgement on military policy better than yours.

According to the Los Angeles Times of April 2014 “”Of the more than 500,000 active-duty troops in the Army, only two are Sikhs. A third serves in the reserves.””
