Maybe they figured ‘the voluntary army’ would lack recruits if the officer corps were all white and the enlisted all black. Just guessing.
If this was their reasoning, they’d be “just guessing” as well. This is similar to busing, whose underlying premise is that a minority child can’t learn unless he’s sitting next to a white one.
Oh my! Z-Grams. Yes, I remember that during my first tour as a personnel clerk (E3 through E5). All hands magazine paradized the Z-Gram. There was a cartoon of sailors in rank for inspection. The commander had walked up to a sailor wearing short pants, skivvy shirt, white hat, and medals. The comments penned below: “He says it’s Summer Dress X-Ray. We’d better check the message traffic.”
Planned, deliberate destruction of the US military under the guise of affirmative action! The leftist agenda on parade.
This isn’t restricted to just the Navy and/or the officer ranks. Senior NCO’s in the Army are chosen by boards and there are quotas for minorities that must be met regardless of qualifications.
My daughter tried to get into Annapolis last year after graduating 2nd in her class. The high school is a naval ROTC school. She was basically told they didn’t need too many white kids,so...SIU for her.
Let's see now, over 90% of those “minorities” voted for the Kenyan commie in chief. How many Conservatives are employed by Sandra Williams, the Representative bringing the lawsuit.
I also wonder how many non-minorities are members of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, a group that she happens to be president of. Where's the diversity?. Does she have plans to sue herself?.
It's our whole Armed Forces & Government.
Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey, Jr. said "I'm concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers ... Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse."
Note where the article says “diversity is the No. 1 priority” " and more to the point: ". . .appear more diverse and improve the football team."
Gee. Together with the new DADT, I'm sure the new and improved football team will keep our country safe from all threats internal and external. /s
Thanks for the link. Bookmarked for tonight. :)
That study I believe. The “diversity” garbage I don’t buy. Everyone is diverse.
disgusting and unfair
Thanks, for the article. The date indicates that the affirmative action program at the academies has been in operation since at least the Bush administration.
Your point is well taken, and I suppose Governor Kasich is well aware of which groups voted for him. Most voted for Strickland, being the good DEMOrats that they are. He is free to hire anyone who believes is qualified.
His Lt. Governor, Mary Taylor, seems to be a minority. She’s a woman. They want blacks hired so they can cause trouble in his administration. Maybe some more of Joe The Plumber antics.
Yup.
