The average overall abilities of each entering class at the USNA has gone down over the past 20 years!

Openly gay and more diversity. Our nation is being destroyed right before our eyes. They are rubbing it in our faces and daring us to do anything about it.

Mullen has some sort of burr under his saddle. Or bee in his bonnet. Or something.

The Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead announced in Annapolis recently that “diversity is the number one priority” at the Naval Academy.

The Naval Academy superintendent, Vice Adm. Jeffrey Fowler, echoed him. Everyone understands that “diversity” here means nonwhite skins.

Fowler insisted recently that we needed to have Annapolis graduates who “looked like” the Fleet, where enlisted people are about 42 percent nonwhite, largely African American and Hispanic.

“Even back then, from my perspective, what I was trying to do was put the best talent together to get the job done,” Mullen said.

IOW; "Some of my best friends are black."

Methinks the Admiral was hittin’ the Rum keg a bit too often
when he said this stuff. Either that or he is a mag—a scag , a bloody rag, a slippery slimy slut....

Mullen demonstrates who he really is with his diversity nonsense. Diversity in and of itself is not responsible for making America the prememinent economic engine in the 20th Century. It does not create opportunity. Capitalism, free enterprise and a government that is minimally intrusive in the business process is what creates opportunity.

It should also be pointed out that the root word of diversity is divide. And that is exactly what it does. One need look no further than the politics of affirmative action to prove the point.

Mullen is a leftist political hack who disgraces his uniform each and every day.

There are not quota points on the numerous boards for being a white male. You have to get by with your academic, sports, SAT, and individual records, because there are not quotas for you.

You've got that right. I applied for Navy ROTC at 17. 3.5 GPA with AP credits, 1360 SAT, Eagle Scout, Boys State, Honor Society, 2 varsity letters, and letters of recommendation from 2 O-6s.

Denied.

The O-3 who interviewed me called with the bad news. He said off the record that I was the wrong color. White. I never applied for the acadamies, but he said the acadamies implemented quotas, which was making ROTC more competitive, on top of which ROTC quotas were also placed.

I felt worse for my father than I did for myself.

He is the worst kind of ass-kisser. He will do or say anything to suck up to the powers that be. I guess it’s gotten him this far.
