Interesting historical fact: This happened after the great mine explosion at the Battle of Petersburg in 1864 during the Civil War.
Known as the Battle of the Crater..."Burnside had initially planned to send a fresh division of black troops into the breach, [in place of burned out and exhausted white troops] but his superiors, Ulysses S. Grant and George G. Meade, ruled against it....
...Now Meade, having consulted with Grant, overruled Burnside’s plan to send in first his freshest men—the Fourth Division, consisting of 4,300 United States Colored Troops under the command of the white general Edward Ferrero. (Ferrero was a ballroom dance instructor who, like Meade, had been born in Spain.) Meade said the black troops were untested, which they were, but there was another, more political, reason. Grant later told Congress that if there were a massacre, and the black troops went in first, “it would then be said … that we were shoving these people ahead to get killed because we did not care anything about them.”
My ancestor was there as a 2nd Lieutenant of the 39th U.S.C.T. and survived the Crater, but was killed after the Battle of Ft. Fisher in 1865, when, due to the greed and stupidity of several of his soldiers (who entered the Fort's powder magazine with lit open torches while looking for Confederate loot) caused a massive explosion that killed over 200 Union Soldiers, including my ancestor, who were participating in a victory parade above. He's buried in a military cemetery in N.C.
Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams knows which side of the aisle his next star will come from. And it isn’t the GOP side.
I see some I would like to send to the front lines.
If I had a child or grandchild with any inkling of joining the military, I would do everything in my power to dissuade them.
The communists have won.
Those who believe that American military personnel will never fire upon American citizens on American soil, are deluding themselves.

Critical Race Theory, is a political cancer first developed by Civil rights lawyer Derrick Bell, who was the first tenured Black professor at Harvard Law School. It first was seen as a worthy effort to equalize the educational opportunities for students of color. It also had a component of the radical feminism that came out of the 70s. It was also rooted in Marxism, which no one had been alerted for its danger.
The reaction to such efforts were interpreted as white self-preservation, a misinterpretation designed to further denigrate those who were already defined as the oppressive culture of white privilege. Its flaws were reflected in various affirmative action strategies that were more racist than the racism they were meant to prevent. It’s being done through what is perhaps the worst tyranny of all; namely, the tyranny over the mind. It seeks only to subjugate the other as a means of overthrowing an existing structure. Once that structure is overthrown, the leaders of the revolution will find someone new to subjugate.
However, these Critical Race Theory proponents are persistent and are resistant to efforts to throw it into the dust bin of history because of its authoritarian nature—like any cancer.
Critical Race Theory needs to be taught at all the service academies, ROTC, and Office Candidate Schools as one methodology Communist enemies of the U.S. Constitution use to subvert this country.
Disheartening to say the least.
Critical Race Theory is racist and anti-American.
Critical Race Theory is the New Apartheid.
