The NCO ranks and the officer ranks should always have been and should always be a meritocracy. Any deviation for any purpose will have unintended consequences that we’ll face at our own peril.
You're dead right, but unfortunately, that horse has left the stable. MM

David Walter: IF... for even one second, YOU believe, that the higher ranks of our armed services have only been filled with those "most merited" then you, sir, are an idiot!
PERIOD!
Our armed services have long since fallen victim to the scourge of "affirmative action"!
That is a fact and for you to deny same, is, again, idiocy of the first order.
By the way thank you for your service.
Sheesh.

Beoceorl: I also wish to commend those young women for their intent to serve our nation.
But as a multi-time victim of affirmative action and seeing the harm that it led to (inferior people being hired/promoted/made excuses for etc etc etc!) - I would bet a one hundred dollar bill that there are about "34" more qualified persons who were "affirmatively" passed over to make room for these young women!
I do NOT blame them for this travesty I blame our courts and the liberal politicians that appointed/allowed them to be!
Again i commend the young black women for their intentions to serve the United States of America (that is no longer color blind or interested in equal justice!)!
Sad reminder of 29 (twenty nine!) years of my life where I dealt with the repercussions of "affirmative action" each and every day - many of my fellow officers referred to this system as "rig a jig a job"!
As crass and nearly vulgar as that sounds it was quite truthful.

VarmintGuy I made the E - 7 list in 93 secondary zone 1st look. Had a sequence # in the 400,s About 4 of us in 2/ 327th IN on that list. DA rescinded and revised the list Army MOS wide. 3 of us not on 2nd list..... Pissed the fugg off. 2 groids that were not on original list from our battalion made the 2nd... go figure..... I made the list primary zone in 95 with a sequence # of 28. AA in da house. No other explanation for it. They didnt hit the magic quota numbers.... Promote the inept and underqualified for race %,s.......

I am sure they will all advance through the ranks based on skill and leadership qualities-- Four star generals in ten years.

Can't say much but I have stories from corrections. Don't want to be sued. Don't care if the admin types don't like what I say, as long as it is true. I know of about three blacks hired in the last 20 plus years that were solid officers. The rest left under less than clean and honest circumstances. Some you just looked at and knew they would soon be caught up. Sad thing to see them hired when you could just look and tell something was being hidden. But we are always so short of officers they cave in. I rejoined after retiring to do part time. I passed the agility test as almost 70. There was a late twenties gal there who could not pass. Two weeks later they cancelled the requirement and the is now on the facility at night. Couldn't run from a crook and couldn't make it to get a crook off my back if she had to. If she got there she would wring her hands. What the HELL are we doing here? The bigger the organization the worse the stupidity gets. Same thing in the military. Packy

I don't know whether these ladies earned their appointments through merit or because of their skin color. But, it is clear in the photo that many of them are out of shape. Additionally, anyone who would allow themselves to be in such a photo in uniform lacks the judgment necessary to be a military officer. If this photo is representative of academy graduates in general, our military is not able to defend us any longer. I am a former military officer who was never in a unit with anyone as out of shape looking as the majority of the females in this photo.

1st look below zone promotions on both ranks. Well at least the black officers will be fair when it comes to promoting who is the best & most deserving , unlike whitey - whitey always promotes a bunch of worthless crackers . Blecks been kept down and are going to show fairness throughout the Ranks . I'm sure of it .
