We’ve already destroyed the military, why not go all the way. Just fire ANYONE who is even remotely competent.

I propose these new divisions for the army.

The Transexual halfman/halfwoman unit

The Islamic Jihad unit

The gay rape unit

The raving liberal kook crackpot unit

The all minority unit

The illegal headlice bio weapon unit

"We’ve already destroyed the military, why not go all the way. Just fire ANYONE who is even remotely competent."

They have been doing it day by day.

"The Army reports that only 10 percent of its active-duty officers are black, which has contributed to its dearth of black officers leading soldiers with occupational specialties in infantry, armor and artillery."

So help me out here guys.

Blacks are (depending on how the "mixed race" folks identify themselves) somewhere around 11-12% of the population.

In the private sector they exhibit higher than average unemployment rates compared to other groups.

So why is 10% of the Officer Corps an "under representation?"

Seems to me that if anything, Blacks are doing *better* in the military than in the private sector.
