Here we go.
Leaders of the U.S. Naval Academy tinkered with the composition of the color guard that appeared at a World Series game last month so the group would not be exclusively white and male.An affirmative statement of fact. Keep this para in mind as we move forward. This is the core truth of what happened.
Accounts differ on whose names were added to the color guard roster, or purged from the list. But the net result was that one of the six who marched on the Yankee Stadium field Oct. 29, Midshipman 2nd Class Hannah Allaire, was selected because her presence would make the service academy look more diverse before a national audience.Accurate - though it would have been two of six if one of the Diversity Selectees did not forget his shoes and cover.
You really need to read it all to get the full flavor of A: the bullshit itself and B: the Academy playing word games to cover things up.
Some more on this bullcrap from Diana West here.
And finally, we have Congress screwing with the Coast Guard Academy in the name of Diversity!
Washington (AP) - The House voted overwhelmingly for a bill that includes a provision giving members of Congress a say over who is admitted to the U.S. Coast Guard's 1,000-cadet service academy in New London, Conn.
The measure -- part of a multi-billion-dollar authorization bill that passed 385-11 on Friday -- was sponsored by Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., who argues that congressional nominations are needed to help increase the number of blacks enrolled at the academy and graduate as commissioned officers.
Don't you just love this shit? "I don't care who got the best scores or who's more qualified, I want more blacks in the academy no matter what!" Rep. Oberstar, you bigot, I don't give a rats ass about the skin color of who's in the Academy; I care that the people who work hard and try for it get a fair shot at it. Period. Screw you and your 'diversity' bullcrap.

UUmmmmm . . .I thought we were coming OUT of the Affermative Action stage.
But I see not. Here we have a major prime example of the Dumbing Down of America. We and our future generations are and will continue to suffer the consequences, until this policy is totally revoked.

LMAO. Yeah, the military is not going to come to its senses any time soon. PC is here to stay.
Around Christmas last year, I was on BN staff duty a lot. We were specifically instructed not to wish anyone 'Merry Christmas'. We were to say Happy Holidays or nothing. What a crock of shit.
So, once the brass all left, we just guessed at whatever holiday we thought the person celebrated--in the least PC way possible. Use your imagination as to how we decided... but the guys all thought it was hilarious. I don't think anyone put in an EO complaint, because most guys in a combat battalion aren't thin skinned pussies.
As for the various service academies, y'all can keep them. I'll keep my ROTC officers, because they're generally more down to earth and approachable than the ring knockers.
This M&M Diversity has to stop (A rainbow of colors on the outside, same outdated, failed economic and social theories on the inside).
Maybe Jesse and Al have to pass on before we rise and fall on our character rather than our color.
When those great days happen, I think I'll do a Mark Twain, and send a card saying regretfully I cannot attend, but I approve.
