I saw a question on one of the History Channel shows about special forces. In the middle of the show the posted a question with four choices. Which U.S. Special Forces receives the most difficult training?

The answers were not the Seals, or the Green Berets, nor the Rangers. the correct one was the Air Force PJs.

“I have a Nephew who was a JAG Colonel for the Air Force.”

I’m sure that the family is quite proud of him.

I know I would be.

Water.....SEALS and PJ’s...ya need to swim very very well.

Marine Recon, too.

I was a Recon Platoon Commander back in the early 70's. I had one black Marine in my platoon. He was definitely not ghetto. He was really just like all the other troops. Swam well, too.

Recon was volunteer-only back then. Probably still is. Can't see affirmative-action working very well there.

Blacks are underrepresented in any front line combat unit. That’s why they are also underrepresented among those killed in action.

I knew the kid was a genius when he was only around 9 years old. I made a pact with him that if either of us ever became a millionaire he would give the other a hundred thousand dollars.

I think he is well on his way but since he has a wife and children I will not hold him to it, even if I could. Still I would not be surprised if one day he gives me $100,000.

Difficult is subjective. A case could be made that the Silent Service in fact is the most exclusive branch, but of course there too, very few blacks. Some females now, the first one was cashiered out after being caught copulating with the senior enlisted man.

Two points:

A lifetime ago I was assigned in an MI detachment on Taiwan. Makeup included 2 mainland born Chinese Americans, 1 each 2d generation Chinese and Japanese, and the balance white Americans (sorry, if you're a numbers guy - no Hispanic or Black Americans). Only 2 of us (both white) had not gone through Monterey language institute. Most of us had some issues with local culture but liked the people and their society/history etc., the differences we could laugh off, as did our counterparts & the 2 native born guys.

The ONE member of the det. who had constant problems with the locals was the American born Chinese translator...once busted for beating a Taipei bus with his umbrella while shouting "animals!". So much for racial advantages in dealing with the reality of "the old country".

And...
The Chinese considered us all to be European anyway.

An effort was made a few years back to try and get more blacks in the special forces but the one big thing that held many back was the requirement to swim. Very simply put, most blacks can’t swim.

BTW, blacks are also way underrepresented in infantry, intelligence, and aviation as well. They tend toward supply clerk and administrative type MOSs.

*Now* you've done it.

The video was blocked by NBC on copyright grounds, but here's the transcript, from (old!) SNL. A spoof episode of The World At War documentary series on WW II, The Walker Brigade:

Either those boys have really short legs or they are retarded and can’t wear pants.
