sociologists are worried that a lack of black officers leading its combat troops will have detrimental effect on minorities and lead to fewer black officers in top leadership posts.

“Why is it that after the words “too many” the only race that can follow is white?”

That is not true. Depending on the context words after “too many” can be asian, or jew

But, but doesn’t the black C in C trump them all?

You’re right...I haven’t seen it with “Jews,” but I’ve seen “too many Asians,” now that you mention it.

Same old stuff. The liberals want the bean counters and lawyers to run the Army. The Army exists to fight, not count beans and argue. Believe it or not, not every person becomes an Army Officer to “close with and destroy the enemy”. Some people are perfectly happy working administrative or logistical matters. If male Americans who are black want to be Infantry Officers, I’m sure the Army can accommodate them.

set up recruiting stations in Chicago I am sure the blacks will be lining up to sign on. /s

I was the single, male child of a family, and I was drafted.

When I was in the Air Force I worked with Blacks, I commanded Blacks, and in one assignment my commanding officer was a Black. I just don't see the problem.

So the “sociologists” feel that not enough minorities are dieing? It is important to note that as a profession sociology is near the bottom next to palm reader.

LOL. Socialogists are worried???????????? And if there were lots of black officers, they would be worried that too many men of color were being put into harm’s way.

You could have had an exemption because you were the only son carrying the family name.
Everyone had to sign up for the draft. Only sons were and are protected.
Saving privare Ryan was about three sons drafted and all serving. Two died and someone was sent to save the last son.

Fine, let blacks run the whole thing and do all the fightin”.

Does that sound fair?

[Jack Hammer]

So... the obvious solution is to promote lots and lots of dumb f*cks, whatever their race (provided, of course, they’re not White).

After all, we don’t need the Best and Brightest leading men into lethal combat - we just need the “correct” racial mix.

Tried it. Didn’t work.
