Like how many different ways he could destroy America's enemies and protect its citizens. ... but maybe this new f'ing pussification of the Navy and Army is the way to go. WTF???? is going on?
schweet! advancement due to the circumstances of your birth (race) and not your abilities (merit)
if those are the rules we are going to play by... fine.
from now on, i will only hire white Judeo-Christians
if you don’t like it, you don’t have to accept my tax contributions. (that’ll teach me)
I watch Military channel and most people they put in camera are either blacks or females unless he’s white admiral or general.
So, I suppose that if the really want to “mirror the nation as a whole” they will include an illegal alien waving a mexican flag around and wearing a ACORN t-shirt about every two or three times the color guard steps into public view.
Yea, do that and see all the best head right for Colorado Springs.
There is a clear mathematical relationship.
Diversity in a given group will be inversely proportional to the total number of people within that group able to attain a traditional threshold metric.
Man, that wouldn't even make my top 25 priorities for the Navy's mission.
It is my understanding that positions on a color guard have to be earned and are never "given."
Diversity... Hey Navy, ask the Army how well diversity and sensitivity worked out for them at Fort Hood. Harsh yes, but the important lessons are harsh and almost always written in blood. That is why we value them and remember them. Whitewashing over these lessons is a disservice to everyone that paid a blood price so we could learn them. Fort Hood is what happens when you let PC get in the way of common sense.
The NAVY lying to the American public (this doesn’t sound very “Honorable” for our 21st Century military), the US Army covering up for muslim terrorists, and their top general worried about “diversity” we are like Chicken Little, only this time The sky really is falling! What has my country come to!?
When your goal is diversity you necessarily sacrifice excellence. You might reach excellence from time to time but you no longer control it.
Obama giving more orders for affirmative action within our military then telling the Brass to say that they, and not Obama, issued the orders.
Not merely fairness, but competence and, ultimately, national security.
Jimmy Carter famously titled his first book "Why Not The Best?" after a question asked him by Admiral Rickover. Valid question.
