Sounds like they recruited "The village people"
Last year one of the affirmitive action midshipment was arrested bringing drugs across the border while he was in San Diego for his summer duty.
A link would be nice.
Link?
The USN will sink itself.
“He teaches English and he also happens to be a liberal...he also happens to believe in speaking the truth”.
...how could that be? “Liberal” and “truth” do NOT go hand in hand.
Truth be known, the current command-in-chief is the product of affirmative action.
First NASA now the USN.
Are there ANY meritocracies left anymore?
Its not a USNA thing. I suspect all military academies are in over their heads in PC. Heres the latest involving the USCGA altho they’ve been giving quotas(ie preferences) to women for some time now.

Insanity. Political correctness will get us all killed.
This is not a shock. PC has gotten into every part of our culture, why should the military be any different. This has been going on for years as I am sure all here @ FR are aware of. PC will bite us in the a$$ & be our downfall.
It’s about to get worse when the Navy starts recruiting from San Francisco’s Castro District.
Disgusting. On a side note, is the “football team” any better?
I thought military affirmative action was a well-known fact.

Affirmative action proponents and socialists both hold "social justice" above excellence. In their view, everyone should have a chance to be a doctor or rocket scientist even if that means lowering the standards of each profession. The fact that a medical patient or astronaut might have a lower life expectancy is just part of the price paid. The fact that the naval academy produces less qualified future officers is irrelevant.
Social fairness is the goal of socialists. The group is all that matters. Slackers may become the president of the Harvard Law Review and may even graduate with honors unearned...that is only fair.
Social justice is just grievance politics and entitlement taken to its ultimate extreme. Nature may have endowed you with less ability and drive...but government will level the playing field.
Government uber alles!

Just great.
Don’t be surprised at this. This won’t be the last of it, or even the worst. We’re literally headed to hell as a nation and there’s no one to blame but ourselves.
