Fox news commentators are actually slack-jawed and shocked by Obama's stupidity.
Bill was pissed! So am I .
Well, I am ex-military, and not “white”. (I am actually mixed-race)
While I was assigned many times to ‘support’ functions while I was in, I never actively sought out those supporting branches and preferred by far to stay away from them as much as possible in favour of more active missions.
With limited success, I must admit, but we go where we are assigned and serve where our leaders deem best.
Although I had to wonder many times about their collective intelligence when I was assigned to so many other tasks than the ones I continually asked for.
Most times it appeared they just wanted a warm body to fill a slot somewhere on a roster sheet and really did not care about whether or not it took away from someone capable of performing the tasks applicable to a more skilled (and intelligent) individual’s capabilities.
I was in too. My anecdotal observations are actually pretty close to the actual DA HRC stats: CS/CSS units have lower % of white soldiers. Nothing wrong with that, but it does lessen the ‘cannon fodder’ argument of the previous poster.

Also, thanks for serving!
Good to hear. One of the most enlightening and best-served parts of this life; serving our country.
Cheers.
Thanks to you as well! Good to know there are some others that still believe volunteering to defend this country is an effort worth making.
“Isn’t Hemmer a liberal? Or has he come to his senses?”
Hemmer and Martha Mac are news anchors. They are pretty much not opinionated in their broadcasts.
Not really; he has little personality and sounds like a nasally Bush 41. Neither trait aids his elect-ability.
my daughter, and having been a soldier are the two things I’ve accomplished in this life. Take care brother.
Same here, and back your way now. Always, brother, always.
