if he served in the past 70 years he would know the military has not been all white,its been mixed heavily through both world wars korea and vietnam,infact im pretty sure the draft era drafted more black people than white.
a large amount of the military is black,and to a lesser extent alot of gays in the military pre ending dadt.ending dadt didnt do anything for gays but allow them to wear pink shirts and tights around post without getting yelled at.
Trying to eliminate people who might disagree with him.
Well that is social engineering in the military, and he is against it.
thats not social engineering blacks were required to serve during the draft because they were seen at the time as lesser citizens.after the draft many stayed because even the crap pay they had then was better than what they had,and the military gave them every tool to succeed,its up to soldiers to use those tools.
if he was in any war in the recent century black people were already there,so you cant argue social engineering.
NP clearly thinks racially-integrated units was "social engineering".
I have no problem with women in combat roles if they meet the physical criteria.
I do feel afraid though they won't get justice/protection in instances of rape, sexual harassment/hostile environment, etc.

Nope USS PUGET SOUND use to be homeported here in Bremerton...Did not know about that one....thanks for the info.....The Arcadia and the Puget Sound are not Combatants though....they are support ships........
The List: Military scandals - Washington TimesUSS Acadia — During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, the press branded the destroyer tender USS Acadia the “Love Boat” after 36 sailors - 10 percent of the women aboard - became pregnant during the 7 months the giant repair ship was deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm. The ship’s 1,250-person crew included 360 women.
There is nothing wrong with Women Warriors.....if anything I would want to be this guy.
the military already has strict rules aginst such acts,it just depends on whether or not the said branche enforces it or plays gender favorites.
The Acadia (Arcadia is different).

I am sorry but I cannot find any references regard the USS Puget Sound as the "Love Boat", there are however several references to the USS Acadia as the "Love Boat".
I would definitely say that 10% is pretty high! Half of the onus does fall on the men though. I think that men and women can do better when dealing with tight quarters and no fresh faces if we expect them to.I stand corrected thank you but you have to admit that is quite a few pregnancies where there is zero tolerance for that kind of thing.

tehy can, and often do in other cultures. I THINK we tend to allow more immaturity in ours, and instead demanding maturity, make excuses for why we can't expect adults to behave like adults.
The Navy demands maturity and holds accountable the ones that do not meet the expectation.

They do much better. Many things have changed in 20 years since Dsert Storm.
There are still issues on the ship, but nothing like that.
