The engineer will be building bridges, not making policy. The D&I grad will be doing that.

A GOP majority can stop it.


You presume a GOP majority would wish to stop it. Past performance is the best measure to determine future expectations.

Any relation to the soccer player? Isn’t that her last name?

Common slur on Grant - he wasn’t the drunk that newspapers and rivals attempted to portray him as.

I’m acquainted with a fella who left the AF a year early. Bill Clinton’s reductions. Talk about a wasted investment. Another fella (enlisted)put in 19 before getting credit for 20. He thanked Clinton and is now a democrat.

In my wife’s and my families' eight 10 men volunteered and served over three four generations, but never again. Nam was our wake up call to a sordid reality.

I was in RVNam in 69 average lifespan of an Officer in the field was 60 to 90 days. I did 2 combat tours seen a bunch come and go was the main reason I never cared to go above E4...

This is just part of the two-tier “separate but unequal” economy we’ve created (and the natural outcome of affirmative action); it is a facade of integration and assimilation. Rather than admit that massive majorities of certain people will never fit in a modern society/economy, we’ll just pretend that they’re “making it” - with useless, unearned high school diplomas, degrees, jobs, promotions, etc., while ignoring glaring shortcomings (near-absence in any STEM field, broken families, poor language skills, no work ethic).

Once you pretended tokens belonged in (and could finish) college on their merits, you have no choice but to continue the charade and force employers to pay them to pretend to work/offer value. The fact that they retreated to fake majors with no marketable value in the real world is irrelevant; we are to pretend they are “educated” (even if only in hate and envy).

Vicious cycle, and completely demeaning...

I got it in my head that Rocky Horror Guy played the Political Officer, but he was the ship’s doctor.

I advocate closing the academies. Start with one. The others will get the message.
So which one goes first? West Point is the big fish. Might be too big but a definite bed-wetter.

‘Clearly the army is seeking more unqualified female black flag officers.’

until black females dominate at the top levels of most of our cultural institutions, rampant progressivism will be the coin of the realm going forward...

Western militaries don’t actually defend the interests of their countries - for example their borders against illegal immigrant invasion.

The only capability Western militaries have now is to be used against their own heritage populations.

They are now an enemy force, and the more incompetent and dysfunctional, the better.

Trump’s function is not to reform an unreformable Regime, but to accelerate the collapse of that Regime.

Standing armies are dangerous.

Patrick Henry: “A standing army we shall have, also, to execute the execrable commands of tyranny; and how are you to punish them? Will you order them to be punished? Who shall obey these orders? Will your mace-bearer be a match for a disciplined regiment?”"

The Dangers of a Standing Army

This is an invented course to make sure the AA candidates (black officer candidates) have slacker courses to keep their numbers up. So now we will have a corps of incompetent America hating racist officers with an army of illegal aliens with no allegiance to the US and hate the US citizen. What could go wrong?

Standing armies are dangerous.

Agreed. But we both know our standing army is here to stay -at least until our increasingly teetering American Empire finally collapses.

That’s right. It was also back when I could stomach Alec Baldwin.
