why should white guys bear the burden when they are not appreciated, promoted as they should be, respected as they should be....

instead, they are treated as pariahs and racists and homophobic with white privilege....

All according to plan and recruitment goals.

DEI don’tcha know.

The Bud Light Military

[Rockingham]

True. The US military once had a way of transcending racial issues but the Left worked hard to destroy that. For decades, white Southerners maintained a strong tradition of military service, especially in the US Army. Robert E. Lee and other Southern Civil War military heroes were honored in the Army in small ways like the names of forts and Confederate monuments, but white Southerners respected and obeyed authority figures in the form of Black enlisted men, NCOs, and officers who were good at their jobs.

A retired Black NCO whom my brothers knew and worked with in the 80s commented that when he had race and discipline issues in the military, it was with White Northerners, not White Southerners. Indeed, in civilian life in the South, Black veterans tended to be respected for their service and ability. An older Southern white whom I knew in that era did not like or trust Blacks as a group but was unstinting and sincere in his praise of a retired Black Army Major who had been his boss at IBM.
