"Army worried too many white men lead combat units."

"Sociologists worry lack of black officers will have detrimental effect on minorities."

This is horseshit, pure and simple. If you look at the demographics of the military, black enlisted are under represented for their population size. Conversely, black officers are over represented for their population size.

It is not the fault of the Army that more blacks are not finishing college. You want more black officers? Start pushing education and the elimination of abortion on demand.

After serving many years in the Army, I can guess what the solution will be. Commission and promote feckless, worthless unqualified dirtbags because someone might think it looks good on paper.

I'm sure their plan includes all the features of similar plans in industry.

"Race" based recruiting
Lowered performance standards
Lowered expectations
Failed careers

If qualified people aren't there you can't promote them.

They are probably also worried that the "white men in command" won't turn their weapons the common man when directed!

After putting on my tin-foil hat, I suspect that this is more about making sure that the military will fire upon American citizens than it is about ensuring good leadership for "minorities."

Damn reality, we must have diversity! ,cried no nation ever, that is, any nation that wanted to stay in business longer than the latest bushwah nonsense lasted.

Are they also worried about too many black NCO's, especially in support areas, or too many white soldiers in the combat arms?

Just about all of the scientists on the Manhatten Project were Jewish. Had the U.S. government followed diversity mandates back then, we would have never developed the atomic bomb.

... and Rome's military did not fail because it was eventually riddled with unRoman minorities?

Promotion through ability, competence and education is surely the mark of a sound Officer cadre?

Even the seeking of citizenship through service has its place ... but 'affermative action' does not. It simply undermines the integrity and respect for those who do rise through the ranks by their own best efforts.

Unity will never be achieved via diversity.

We are SUPPOSED to be equals -regardless of gender skin color blah blah blah blah. I submit the obvious truth - while some call them "protected classes", I prefer to call those "classes" what they actually are. Titles of Nobility.

Saying a person should/can/must be in a certain position because of the color is EXACTLT the same as saying they shouldn't/can't/ mustn't. Really, it's plain racist to do either if white people do not have the courage to even SAY it is, then they are doomed to be enslaved (heck in some ways they already are.....being afraid to even speak)

Bash Christianity. Destroy it. Bash free speech. Destroy it. Destroy petitioning by the "registered lobbyist" canard. "Credential" those protected by press freedom. And then ban guns.

Folks better wake up.

AAs have been raised in the Progressive Welfare State for at least 5 generations, they have become the perfected 'r-Type' Low Value, High Reproduction, no family/cultural affiliation, non-producers. Perfect for mobs driven by their masters via nonsensical emotional appeals, bought for the price of a flip phone. It is a tragic situation but one relentlessly pursued by The Left. The net outcome is a population which has been told it cannot succeed and so will not try outside the framework of 'equal opportunity' programs
