Topic: Army worried too many white men lead combat units, racial diversity lacking

Sociologists worry lack of black officers will have detrimental effect on minorities

Here's all you need to know:

... Capt. Grancis Santana, 33, spoke to the paper and asserted that it wasn’t discrimination that was causing a lack of minority officers in key posts — the supply of desired soldiers in his military occupational specialty simply wasn’t there.

“It’s not a good feeling when you’re one of the few,” Capt. Santana told USA Today. “There was no discrimination; there are just not a lot of people like you.”

The paper also noted that of the 238 West Point graduates commissioned to be infantry officers in 2012, only seven were black. One of the Army’s plans for addressing the issue will be to put more emphasis on recruiting and mentoring minority officers.

Coming up:  more Affirmative Action for the military.

What I was looking for, and wasn't included in the piece, was the percentage of Blacks in the military.  According to other figures I've read, they're underrepresented as a percentage of the total population.

These social engineers aren't going to be happy until there are lotsa Blacks in charge of subordinate Whites.

More incompetence in there and more skill out here.  Probably for the best in the long run.

Singing my song, Glock.

WRSA is singing the song too:

Dispense forthwith with all pretense of merit.

Drive out all competent white officers, NCOs, and enlisted men.

Return them to CONUS forthwith with their careers wrecked and the true nature of their government burned into the souls.

Please don’t throw me in dat dere briar patch!!!

I think there assertion of overall underrepresentation is fiction, at least in the enlisted ranks I think it is, heck there were tons of minorities in my day, I dooubt it has lessened.  As for the officer ranks, well, this gets into the nasty little minefield of resources in the population and their fitness, intelligence and character.  I'll leave all that crap alone because like y'all I am not interested in that, if the transformation puts the good and the competent in our midst and fills theirs with deadheads, well, in terms of what we think is going to happen domestically, yeah, probably not a bad thing, and the death convulsions of an empire that was will ensure more and more bodies get thrown away in futile campaigns abroad until the replacement rate drops so bad that taking anybody is the norm and in fact mandatory service comes on line, then morale and everything hits the sh*tter...

A lot of pain between there and now but the progs are leaving history no other options.

PONR reached, plan accordingly.

One of the commenters at WRSA made the following point, and one has to wonder if it isn't too far off the mark:

The White Nationalists called this one. By weakening the Army and hiring “minority” mercenaries who are enlisting for citizenship, the Army becomes beholden and willing to fire on Whites.

That's scary. The "undocumented" soldier won't give a rodent's rectum about the Constitution.

We'll see if this army, like another one from history, is willing to cross the Rubicon.

Let's see how that works out for them, gutless mindless fools sound easy to panic to me, so let's see how they handle being shot at.
