"Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them," Lt. Gen. Bostick said. "But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can't, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you're always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today."

What new policy? Maybe he refers to proposals?

It would seem that here we see a General promoting a political agenda in the military. When I was in the service politics was NOT pursued. If this continues will we see Generals ordering soldiers to vote for the leftists?

I suspect we see here the results of affirmative action with the recipient paying homage to his master --leftist government...

You make a very good point. There is no new policy, as yet.

As an officer he is openly promoting a political view because if the policy is changed it will be political.

His promotion of this agenda would qualify him for reduction in rank or retirement in the not so old military. I have a hunch he was put up to this by people above his pay grade.

How soon do the units start to get zampolits? Weekly lectures from the political officers? Assignments or discharges based upon political reliability? Da, tovarisch, that’s where this goes!
