NYT Board of Directors:
Getting educated helps.
Because in a meritocracy, individuals have to struggle to climb up the ladder. It’s not supposed to look like a society where the biggest struggle is to simply be born.
The nominee for next Air Force chief of staff is a black man.
Education, dip sticks...
What race is the current U.S. Surgeon General again???
The NYT is determined to slam the military during this Memorial Day weekend.
When I was in the Navy, a 20 year career that ended 22 years ago, affirmative action, both race and sex based, would run you over, smash you like a bug, and never look back. It would take too long to cite examples. I doubt that that has changed.
First of all; this just isn’t true.
Second of all skin color should never be used as a metric for advancement.
Promoting to the level of incompetence is a civil service thing; not a military thing.
Promoting obama to the WH was proof of that.
There are not nearly as many black soldiers as there were back in the day before the Iraq war. Back then it was supposed that any soldier would do. Now they want people who can fight or work a computer or even fix a truck. Judges can no longer send the army a bunch of losers who chose army or jail.
How many real NY Slimes editors are African American?
We need the very best no matter what the race, ethnicity, creed, or gender. The military is one of the most fair organizations we have in terms of employment.
It is election time and the NYT must stir up racial hatred and division so the Dems can energize its base. Blame it all on Trump.
So these people are all about quotas even though they say they aren’t. So they’re liars. Sounds so Leftist....
I like to use the example
If you don’t put in 30, chances are you are not going to get ‘a lot’ of stars on your uniform.
And even then, very few are promoted to the 4 star rank.
Doesnt mean its unfair or biased.
Enlisted folks are not going to become generals. No matter what color. Save the very rare wartime battlefield commissions.
NYT Board of Directors:
If I recall correctly a Black man used to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
It was later discovered that he was just another politically correct POS dipsh!t.
The US Military is the closest thing to a pure Meritocracy outside of professional sports.
Race Baiting Poverty Pimps and Perpetually Professionally Aggrieved are a very small segment of the Military but are very vocal and supported by The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won't Tell
Damn it! Questioning why there are no blacks in the high levels of the military is out of line. Typical NYT question. Stirring the racial pot. Divide the nation’s people.
Promotions, including the military, government, education are not an equal opportunity area of consideration.
You don’t (should not) get promoted because there are no others of your color, race, religion in leadership positions.
The first black president proved that by going overboard in appointing black persons because of their color and not their abilities. Remember what the result of that was...Holder, Rice, etc.
Now we are watching as Joe Biden chooses his running mate that he feels must be a black woman. If elected, this could have monumental consequences.
They are almost invisible?
Exactly how visible should they be?
