I don’t think so. Whatever else he may be, Webb is a Marine. There is NO affirmative action in the military. Without a doubt it is the most integrated institutions in the country. No reason those principles shouldn’t work in the wider world.

"There is NO affirmative action in the military."

I wonder. The Navy some time ago wanted their officers to look more like the sailors. There may be gender quotas also at the academies and leadership.

Well that marine didn't waste any time throwing a fellow marine and supposed friend under the bus when the friend was caught carrying Webb's gun into the capitol building.

There’s plenty of political correctness, however.

And a scummy whack job. Are Marines in the habit of letting other people take the rap for their stupidity?
