Zama is still there. Good.
Looks like some of those gals need some PT time.
A coup in slow motion?
I haven’t seen a black-american Engineer in 25 years of Engineering. Heck, I don’t even remember a black-american in any of my higher math classes and applied engineering classes.
The single most prominent race representation in the Electronics Engineering that I’ve seen other than Caucasians are Asians, Northern Europeans (including Germany), Indian. I’ve seen more Hispanic Engineers than black engineers.
I’ve only seen a hand full of women engineers.
That’s what, ten now?
Either our flag officers are hopelessly inept and/or corrupt or there’s a major purge going on.
Either option isn’t good at all for us.
Do not turn your back on the emperor
That sounds about correct (I can’t say “that sounds about right” because there’s nothing right about any of this).
Yes, no doubt about it. Purging the military of old school Generals in order to get those on board with the new social experiments
The O-6 I work for is lucky she falls into a couple of well-cared-for demographics. If she were a white male, she’d be toast. If the one-and-only commander of 5/2 Stryker BCT had been white male, he’d have been relieved before deploying to Afghanistan.
We have some not-so-awesome people in the higher ranks, unfortunately. From what I’ve seen it’s less “the best and brightest” who make the grade, it’s simply down to “who holds on the longest.”
After our 15-month deployment to Iraq, every officer in our company got out except for the commander (great guy) and our 4th Platoon Leader (absolute idiot). I don’t like those odds (yeah, I stayed in, too, so which category do I fall into?).
The purge agenda continues. SHTF will follow when the tipping point is reached.
The continued walk up to martial law and president Obooboo for life. Better start believin it.
The nice thing about 8 years of a Presidency is everyone on the right, on the left and in the middle are sick and tired of him. No chance for him to be President for a second term.
A wise Latina ?
Probably refused to attend homosexual sensitivity training.
He probably wasn’t ‘Gay’ enough.
Yeah , I was trying to dope out the pic and I can’t figger out who’s hand is copping a feel on the Colonel’s left chest? Reminds me of that old Bill Mauldin cartoon that had three guys hanging on to each other but there were seven hands.
And I’m remembering a half century of no women, and no “much of anything” but white guys in engineering especially in the heavy trades. A few orientals and maybe an Indian or two, exactly three Arabs/Persians. It always seems to come down to spatial relationships, sense of magnitude, understanding of motion, gravity, strength, power, etc. Too many people are what I call one dimensional ( good at one thing but limited otherwise) to be successful or even interested in engineering.
Yet, misconduct at the executive level seems to get a blind eye. Does our lack of confidence in the executive branch mean anything? Apparently not.
The African-American culture seems not to produce engineers. However, the same is not true of, say, the Nigerians. If so, then race per se can be ruled out.
