Yeah, he called America a salad bowl, in other words, don’t assimilate.
I found a lot of references to it online but all in the context of just using his phrase without his name being attached to it or attached too far down the page.
And i wasn’t gonna send you a link that you didn’t feel like reading :)
Salad Bowl is so stupid
When I was in the Army the way it works is whatever baggage, whatever ethnicity, whatever social status, whatever Sexual Orientation (not even a deal back then) and whatever color your skin was...
“DOES NOT MATTER ... You are ARMY, YOU are GREEN and YOU WILL MEET THE SGT STANDARDS ... PERIOD”
If you had any problems with meeting that Standard go see your Squad Leader then your Platoon SGT then your 1st SGT
If the CSM gets involved there better be Charges and then the CO and after that everyone suffers or ignores it.
I find the Salad euphemism most disgusting of all.
I am an American period

Then I’m good because I know, we are in charge, not the reporters, not the media and not the politicians.
