Well, since you can't be an officer unless you have a college degree.

I guess the answer is to look at the percentage of blacks that have college degrees and compare that to the 10% number mentioned in the article.

...

after a little research...

http://www.jbhe.com/news_views/64_degrees.html

it turns out that the percentage of blacks with college degrees is about 20%

so... blacks make up 13% of the population

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

so if only 20% of those 13% have college degrees...
that means that for blacks to be fairly represented, they would have to hold 2.6% of all officer positions.

The article states they currently hold 10% ...

so...

That means there are FOUR TIMES more blacks in officer positions than their should be already.

So the army is racist now because they want to kill more “blacks”? I believe to solve some of the army’s problems they should immediately change the MOS of the army sociologists to be infantry point men.
