I'm going to have to move to bad language again

Damn ever miserable fucking moron associated with this bullshit.
The commission says it wants the military to resemble the ethnic makeup of America. It is urging the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force to “validate” the standards — such as education, test scores, criminal records and drug use — that disqualify large numbers of blacks and Hispanics.

“Racial/ethnic minorities are less likely to meet eligibility requirements than are non-Hispanic whites, and that gap is widening,” the report says.

The commission said women should be allowed into male-only land combat units to “create a level playing field” in promotions “for all service members who meet the qualifications.”
Translation: "We don't care about skill, intelligence, ability; we only care about things being properly diverse- by OUR definition- and we don't care what it does to the combat-readiness of the military."
To borrow from Tam:This is ridiculous. The purpose of the armed forces is to kill people and break their stuff. This isn't the frickin' Peace Corps we're running here, it is a warfighting machine. Much like the Los Angeles Lakers, it doesn't get its score at the end of the game graded on a curve based on how well it reflects "the racial, ethnic and gender mix" of America.
These bastards don't want to actually improve schools into places where kids learn, they don't want kids to be taught some self-discipline and HOW to learn, oh no, they want the standards lowered so unqualified people can get into places they shouldn't be. And the miserable shits don't care how many people die because of it.
