If you have the motivation and ability to suceed you will regardless of...whatever.

My cousin retired as a Major in the Rangers 20 yrs ago when the traitor clinton got reelected.

They were trying to quota blacks in. Very few, if any made the grade.

He said "They can't shoot, they can't swim, they can't read a compass and they don't want to be here".

Appears that the political commisars were active then.

they are worse than fools. they are folks who would deliberately jeopardize the readiness of our military by following the latest trendy social issues, in order to advance their own careers.

Well, there are still three in the course. Two in Florida phase and one was recycled back through Mountains phase at Camp Darby.

Blacks are underrepresented in any front line combat unit. That’s why they are also underrepresented among those killed in action.

Ben carson said it best last night when I operate on someone I see the person not the color. Huckabbe said it to, we need them to protect us, this is not a fashion show on how we look to the world. PC and the commie progressives are putting us all in a dangerous position and should be duly noted for fututre prosecution

I was 1st Ranger Battalion In the 70’s and it was fairly diverse. My first CO was black. It’s all volunteer, and you only get rejected if you don’t measure up - not because of your skin color.

Why? Isn’t that racial profiling, you idiot?

I trust you were directing your comment to Copenhaver. I hesitate to call him Colonel since he is clearly a flaming idiot and politician more concerned about his career than national security.
