One also notes that this guy rocketed all the way up to E-3 in his Army career.
Notice also that the opening sentence identified him as “army reservist”. Apparently “white hispanic” or “tea partier” would have been too much of a stretch, so that was the best they could do.
I was a PFC almost exactly 5 months after having reported to Reception Center,Fort Knox,KY.When discharged I was a SP5...and I was a decent soldier but far from stellar.
But then I *was* white.
