Oh I'd say that was about a caliphate....
We had NCOs who could not write a complete sentence, but could score 300 on the APFT. How some of those got through the NCOES is beyond my comprehension. But, if they were minorities, "just look the other way".

Patooey on the puke Dempsey and every member of the Officer corps that has sold his soul to the devil.
