This is the same living-in-la-la-land mentality that causes the Most Equal Comrade and Secretary Global Test to think they're chastising belligerent world-stage actors by telling them their behavior isn't befitting of the 21st century, or to push for more transgendered diplomats. FHers would rather we be in the weeds about things not meeting some recently concocted notion of "fairness" of "justice" than squarely face what is in front of us.Should the Army’s priority be racial diversity and the number of senior black officers? I took particular interest in this USA Today editorial that says, “Command of the Army’s main combat units — its pipeline to top leadership — is virtually devoid of black officers, according to interviews, documents and data obtained by USA Today. The lack of black officers who lead infantry, armor and field artillery battalions and brigades — there are no black colonels at the brigade level this year — threatens the Army’s effectiveness, disconnects it from American society and deprives black officers of the principal route to top Army posts, according to officers and military sociologists. Fewer than 10 percent of the active-duty Army’s officers are black compared with 18 percent of its enlisted men, according to the Army.”So here we go again with the social engineering concerns, when we should be concerned about the fact that the U.S. Army is at 1940s pre-conscription levels, at a time when we’re facing countless ground-based threats. The last thing I want to see is the pursuit of some misguided affirmative action program in the U.S. Army.America has a black president, black attorney general, and black head of Homeland Security. Since blacks make up around 14 percent of the population, do we need to be over-represented in top leadership positions in the country? Let’s make this about quality and character, and not just about skin color or quantity.
Trin' to make it real compared to what?
