“The real danger is that merit consideration is subordinate to affirmative action. “Best and brightest” is obsolete and gives way to “dense and dumbest”.”
Exactly what I meant......why wouldnt we want the BEST regardless of race or gender??????? Hard to believe how stupid everything is nowadays. How did we get here?
Did anyone care in WW2 what color/gender anyone was or was the goal TO WIN THE WAR????? It just chaps the whiny hides that mostly white men won the war. How many women went ashore on D-Day??
Yes; they did. Blacks have served in every American war; after the Civil War they were mostly in segregated units, where many were mistreated, given the worst assignments or used as "cannon fodder." However, a number of those units performed so valiantly that after WW2 both Truman and Eisenhower set about de-segregating the military because of the A-A's demonstrated loyalty and bravery.
