Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

You know there is one thing that this article fails to mention. Just because some one is not an infantryman does not mean that they are not in any less danger of getting killed. There is no such thing as a non-combatant in a combat zone. Iraq is a combat zone, every soldier and Marine are trained in basic military tatics.

Putting a quota on the number of black or hispanic dead is lunacy. Those brave souls died as heros doing something that they volunteered to do.

So what if they joined the service to escape crime ravaged or socioeconomic depressed neighborhoods. It is better to be a person in the service than a thug on the street.
