Affirmative Action: Should It Be Used For The Frontlines In Iraq?

Should quota's be used to fill the frontlines in the war in Iraq? How do you feel about this?

[auggy]

I feel,if Quota's are going to be used, it should be used in all instances, not a pick and choose placement.

I, of course, don't think quota's should ever be used. To bypass anyone,(no matter what color), to give it to another with less qualifications is wrong and will not make a country or an army the ,"Best It Can Be".

Assuming this is true, should more African Americans be placed on the frontlines. They do appear to be better fighter's than their white counterparts, and thus more qualified.

[Notwithstanding]

Your question is priceless.
No need to add a word.

I had heard that front line combat troops are disproportionately white. This is an attempt of ethnic cleansing! I think Caption Kirk, mayor of Texas, and good friend of Mr. Hicks, ought to volunteer his children to the front lines to counterbalance this unfairness. /sarcasm.

"NO!! This isn't McDonalds."

True. McDonald's is a business, but so is the NBA.

I think Liberals should be well represented- and we know where to find therm- they are out protesting the war.
