I'm not American nor do I live in America. Seriously, Americans have no idea how utterly ridiculous these conversations actually are to outsiders. I know, America is a very young country. But still. Such conversations are spoken so seriously to the point of reaching this level of authority, but I'm more surprised no one has burst out laughing at the massive stupidity these topics entail yet. This is harsh, because I know there are countless Americans who are extremely smart, but things like these are what keep the "dumb American" reputation going strong. This is one of the most stupid topics I've ever heard, because it's impossible to, for example, shove 13% (black Americans) of an entire population into *everything.* White Americans are 75.5% of the population, so *of course* there are more white Americans everywhere. And black Americans aren't dumb. They don't need pity nor be considered too stupid to get a certain job just like everyone else does.
The problem is this.. In our high court they ruled colleges can no longer use race as a big factor in admissions Our national College entrance exam is the SAT.. In the last incoming class at Harvard 15% were black However when looking at the typical requirements for admission a 700 on the test is required.. Only 1% of black students achieve that score So you can take that data and chew on it however you please I have a degree in computer science during my 4 years not a single black student graduated. The degree is essentially you against the computer.. Extremely low potential bias An early prof said If you flunk out you don't think the right way.. My brother and his girlfriend also flunked out The program was known as the most difficult on campus And the highest paying

@@Michael-ct1rp Well, I tend to be a very direct person because in my country people aren't as sensitive as in America in general. We have Africans here, my own father included, who came to my country when he was 19. The fact of the matter is that blacks in America didn't use to be how they are now, and we all know why. It's not the system, it's the people. We're all human, and something is terribly wrong with 13% of the population is responsible for 50% of the crimes in an *entire* country. Even college programs have been created to put them at the top of the list. Participation awards create a weaker people, a weaker mind, and a weaker country. Black Americans don't notice that this is going to keep them at the bottom of the list, because it was their skin color that got them places, not who they are as humans. This is real racism, and black Americans keep drowning themselves in it.
I’m a black American. Please do not confirm this man, he’s ruining our Military. I want the best qualified officers in our military. I can’t believe this guy is a General of United States Air Force .
If we follow this mind-numbingly illogical approach of seeking first to have equal outcomes based on race, we will irrefutably guarantee that our military is not as potent as it could be. Why? Because equal outcomes are all but impossible to achieve if meritocracy is a factor, and merits should be the key factor. Let's use sports as an example. Should we ensure our track team equally represents the nation's racial makeup? How about the NBA, NFL, MLB? No, we shouldn't. We should give everyone an opportunity to try out. And then we should promote the people who stand out, who work hard, who do the best. Lethality should be the military's objective, not some lunacy like this.
I'd agree, if they were forcing the outcome. The percentages used, were the exact, makeup, of our nation. That's not the reality. The reality is, just what you mentioned. The best, and brightest, are being rewarded those positions. Nothing wrong with their goal. They're shooting for equality, without filling quotas. I see no harm in it.
Sadly, this Military machine we have, is *_NOTHING like the one from a mere 3 years ago!_* Hark back to the Afghan-withdrawal debacle, totally botched and Americans being butchered! That kind of 'stupidity' is what passes for the Military under Biden and his DEI demand! Listening to Austin & Milley, one usurped his own Presidents orders, by going behind his back with the Chinese. Austin still agrees he did the right thing! Saving Afghan men by giving them aircraft room, and to hell with the Americans left behind! We didn't even tell our top Ally (The UK) we were doing a pull-out, until the Brits finally asked, *_"What in hell is happening, where is everyone going!"_* - Milley the Joker; *_"Oops, we forgot to tell them we were withdrawing, let's hope they find out!"_*
What are you thinking? First, he says we have the "best military in the history of the world" and then he says their delegation of duty standards are all wrong. Well? Which is it? If you have enough well-trained men and women, why not apply duty that can reflect the demographics of the nation. If that is so bad, why do we have the "best military in the history of the world"?
How about the senators using these policies stepdown for colorful people to replace them, have a special vote and insert blacks, Asians, Indians etc..too many whites in Congress, right???
@@paulwheeler6609you’re contradicting yourself. The Marxist general said that his memo was for recruitment goals, but I doubt that. If we have the best military in the world right now, it is because it was formed on a merit basis, not a race quota basis. What this guy and the Bidenistas want to do is to destroy our military by forcing it to accept recruits and promote them to officers based on race rather than merit. Total mistake

What is he being graded on?? We are getting spanked in so many metrics by the chinese and this emphasis on DEI should be grounds for not being nominated.

@@eileencastillo6323 it seems incredibly stupid and dangerous. We can't promote someone based on their race alone. We'll lose wars to countries like China or Russia. We need to take our country back from these fools.
Our country and our society’s future is going down the toilet. Discrimination is wrong no matter who you discriminate against. One of our greatest past leaders once said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. Sadly Dr. King’s childeren will have to wait longer now.
and maybe he did, maybe he did not. It IS true that the white liberal comes from the legacy of the party of slavery....the democratic party, the oldest and most corrupt party.
If you worked hard during high school, college or as an enlisted, then you can set yourself to be qualified for the service academies or OCS. First, you'll want to volunteer to become an officer, and volunteering is self-motivated. The numbers (%) in our ranks, whether enlisted or officer, are probably no different than the racial makeup of the U.S. I believe so many of our current top-brass are so WOKE, it's freakin' embarassing. As a veteran, I could've cared less what racial makeup my superiors or battle buddies were,....just have my back!
it's odd, because the % of the population of the country that's white is continually going down due to immigration and birth-rates. He seems to want it to continuously adjust according to current-year %.. Seems like established officers would be drawn from an earlier time-period's demographics. Like, if whites were 65% of the population a couple decades ago, and are 65% of positions that take a couple decades to attain, demanding that they suddenly be 55% would be stupid.
@BlackBear15909. Can the people of color have the same expectation that you will have their back, if they make it in? Would all White people have their back? I say No! Which is why those who are smart enough to qualify would not even try to enlist!
blackbear, i,m from Maine, home of the balckbears, i like your statement about having our backs which is why i don,t like it when people thank me for my service, i thought it was a given that they were grateful, in other words, it goes without saying, and if people aren,t thankful for the U,S, military then they don;t like freedom!!! because the military is the only thing standing between them and slavery!!!!
I thought that spending 30 million dollars to change the name of 9 bases would’ve made people start lining up for the military service especially on these new bases. I guess they could have used that money to maybe upgrade some of the old barracks and stuff but nope the new name was more important.

I wonder what made this man think like this? I wonder also, what is his warfare strategy?… being a four-star general. With the answers he gave, drop him down to a private, or whatever, just not a four-star general. I pray this man is not nominated. We have to stop the bleeding somewhere…..
Don't be fooled by the word "qualified". That's a word intended to create the impression of equal performance. Take, for example, the USMC rifle marksmanship. There's three badges indicating proficiency which, from least to most proficient, are: Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert. All are "qualified" with their rifles but "Expert" is the best based on merit and performance. So when this general hedges his language with the word "qualified" what he's really doing is leaving room for the military service to advance those who ARE NOT the best, otherwise he'd just say, "We only pick the very best." The problem with that is when you say you only choose the best, it can be demonstrably proven true or false. Saying the Air Force only chooses "qualified" officers is a cowards way of hiding the fact that the military is using metrics other than winning wars. I suspect this guy is comfortable with such selection methods because he's the beneficiary of them.
yeah, with staffing problems already, the pool of candidates is shrinking - and they are talking about too many white guys? They should all quit and let them use the 'flavor of the month' to run things. just because the white guy running the country is an idiot ,a liar and a sell out.... doesn't mean the rest should pay....
As a Black man I am absolutely ashamed of this man’s answer here. I respect him for his service, but he’s dead wrong about this. He’s pandering to some agenda put on him by his superiors. Also, absolutely those who were fired because of stupid c0vid reasons should be fully reinstated with back pay and an apology.
I am retired Airforce and am pretty certain that I would not fit in now. I always wanted anyone no matter race, creed, color or religion, that wanted to kill the enemy and destroy their equipment.
You go senator. These woke policies are going to be the death of our military. I'm a 25 year AF veteran and I'm so disappointed in what is going on in my Air Force and the military in general. I'd say this General is following in the steps of Obama, and that doesn't bode well for the military

1) A military not unwaveringly rooted in the best performance as a war machine, is literally THROWING AWAY the health and lives of soldiers. 2) A military that unnecessarily throws away the health and lives of soldiers is NOT honoring the sacrifice soldiers are willing to sign up for.

Why doesn’t the NFL or NBA recruit via diversity because they want the best players in order to win , same should apply to the military, isn’t winning a war as important as winning games?
How about the best and the brightest, regardless of race, especially in the armed forces? Quotas breed mediocrity. Do they worry about this in congress?
doesn't appear so. this is all revenge behavior ... pure and simple in its ability to smoke the rest of us out... people with qualifications are being passed over for the one who couldn't pass the test, or who is the color of the day... That is how society breaks down.
I joined the usaf in the 70s when enlisted promotions were based on job/military knowledge test scores and performance evaluations until E8-E9 that also had boards but we always heard rumors that racial balancing promotions took place. I retired years ago and always wondered if it was really happening.
thanks to democrats those that lack any sort of ability to accomplish are to lead and cause innocents to suffer due to democrat stupidity, eff the democrat filth harming innocents
You and I both know (I was in the AF from 1977-1986) that race was a factor in promotions where promotion boards determined who were promoted. Certainly, it's much more out in the open today.
Different time. Different culture. You cannot state that no one was held back because they were Black. You can say that now. I joined the military in 80s. I know for a fact that people were held back because they were Black.
Diversity has no place in our nation's military readiness! And it's ludicrous to think that it should be divided by a percentage of black & white or other, and stop giving trophies to everyone whether they win or lose the game because war is not a game, it's life-and-death.
stop using senatorial sound bits to make your conclusions ,,Generals too have bosses...get all the facts before making a quick judgement bases on a few minutes of a video
I am often asked by a parent or individual should they join the military. Being a retired officer, I like to think I have a slight insight. It is more and more difficult to say "sure, join up, it will do you good", because I no longer think it will do anyone good. After I retired I worked for a large military contractor. I trained thousands of military at all ranks. There are some outstanding soldiers out there I would go shoulder to shoulder with in a foxhole. And, there is some real crap. More crap than when I was in. I have no clue why they joined. Could have been because that was how they avoided prosecution by the judge. When things get tough for recruitment the answer is always the same.....drop the requirements. When retention is difficult the answer is always the same.....drop the requirements. One group has to do only 1 pushup. Another group has to do 30 pushups. I feel for recruiters today. It must be the most unsatisfactory job in existence. I knew one who said to me he was getting out and joining his dad in cleaning septic tanks because there was less sh*t in that job. There will always be a core of the youth who believe in their country, in freedom and in preserving the "American way of life", but what worries me is, will they be willing to fire upon the US citizen that has had enough of the most corrupt government in the world? I hope not.
America wont last a fraction of the time that Rome did, and in both cases it was the beliefs, mindsets and action of civilizational leadership that turned premiere civilizations into failed civilizations. ALL great civilizations fall from their capitals outward for a reason
It's insane for any military to stop hiring based upon competence. It's going back to the 18th century where you could purchase a commission based upon your social position.

I'm not American nor do I live in America. Seriously, Americans have no idea how utterly ridiculous these conversations actually are to outsiders. I know, America is a very young country. But still. Such conversations are spoken so seriously to the point of reaching this level of authority, but I'm more surprised no one has burst out laughing at the massive stupidity these topics entail yet.
This is harsh, because I know there are countless Americans who are extremely smart, but things like these are what keep the "dumb American" reputation going strong. This is one of the most stupid topics I've ever heard, because it's impossible to, for example, shove 13% (black Americans) of an entire population into *everything.* White Americans are 75.5% of the population, so *of course* there are more white Americans everywhere. And black Americans aren't dumb. They don't need pity nor be considered too stupid to get a certain job just like everyone else does.
You are an idiot if you think Americans are for this.
The problem is this..
In our high court they ruled colleges can no longer use race as a big factor in admissions
Our national College entrance exam is the SAT..
In the last incoming class at Harvard 15% were black
However when looking at the typical requirements for admission a 700 on the test is required..
Only 1% of black students achieve that score
So you can take that data and chew on it however you please
I have a degree in computer science during my 4 years not a single black student graduated.
The degree is essentially you against the computer..

@@Michael-ct1rp Well, I tend to be a very direct person because in my country people aren't as sensitive as in America in general. We have Africans here, my own father included, who came to my country when he was 19. The fact of the matter is that blacks in America didn't use to be how they are now, and we all know why. It's not the system, it's the people. We're all human, and something is terribly wrong with 13% of the population is responsible for 50% of the crimes in an *entire* country.
Even college programs have been created to put them at the top of the list. Participation awards create a weaker people, a weaker mind, and a weaker country. Black Americans don't notice that this is going to keep them at the bottom of the list, because it was their skin color that got them places, not who they are as humans. This is real racism, and black Americans keep drowning themselves in it.

If we follow this mind-numbingly illogical approach of seeking first to have equal outcomes based on race, we will irrefutably guarantee that our military is not as potent as it could be. Why? Because equal outcomes are all but impossible to achieve if meritocracy is a factor, and merits should be the key factor. Let's use sports as an example. Should we ensure our track team equally represents the nation's racial makeup? How about the NBA, NFL, MLB? No, we shouldn't. We should give everyone an opportunity to try out. And then we should promote the people who stand out, who work hard, who do the best. Lethality should be the military's objective, not some lunacy like this.
Thank you.
I'd agree, if they were forcing the outcome. The percentages used, were the exact, makeup, of our nation. That's not the reality. The reality is, just what you mentioned. The best, and brightest, are being rewarded those positions. Nothing wrong with their goal. They're shooting for equality, without filling quotas. I see no harm in it.
Sadly, this Military machine we have, is *_NOTHING like the one from a mere 3 years ago!_* Hark back to the Afghan-withdrawal debacle, totally botched and Americans being butchered! That kind of 'stupidity' is what passes for the Military under Biden and his DEI demand!

We didn't even tell our top Ally (The UK) we were doing a pull-out, until the Brits finally asked, *_"What in hell is happening, where is everyone going!"_* - Milley the Joker; *_"Oops, we forgot to tell them we were withdrawing, let's hope they find out!"_*

What are you thinking? First, he says we have the "best military in the history of the world" and then he says their delegation of duty standards are all wrong. Well? Which is it? If you have enough well-trained men and women, why not apply duty that can reflect the demographics of the nation. If that is so bad, why do we have the "best military in the history of the world"?

@@paulwheeler6609you’re contradicting yourself. The Marxist general said that his memo was for recruitment goals, but I doubt that.

If you worked hard during high school, college or as an enlisted, then you can set yourself to be qualified for the service academies or OCS. First, you'll want to volunteer to become an officer, and volunteering is self-motivated. The numbers (%) in our ranks, whether enlisted or officer, are probably no different than the racial makeup of the U.S. I believe so many of our current top-brass are so WOKE, it's freakin' embarassing. As a veteran, I could've cared less what racial makeup my superiors or battle buddies were,....just have my back!
it's odd, because the % of the population of the country that's white is continually going down due to immigration and birth-rates. He seems to want it to continuously adjust according to current-year %..
Seems like established officers would be drawn from an earlier time-period's demographics.
Like, if whites were 65% of the population a couple decades ago, and are 65% of positions that take a couple decades to attain, demanding that they suddenly be 55% would be stupid.

@BlackBear15909. Can the people of color have the same expectation that you will have their back, if they make it in? Would all White people have their back? I say No! Which is why those who are smart enough to qualify would not even try to enlist!

_"Senator do we have too many b'lack basketball players"_
Can that buttthurt officer get an idea of how ridiculous he sounds now 🙄
Agreed. Based on this black Airforce Officer's logic, we should have only 13% black NBA players.
He's speaking his truth.
Don't be fooled by the word "qualified". That's a word intended to create the impression of equal performance. Take, for example, the USMC rifle marksmanship. There's three badges indicating proficiency which, from least to most proficient, are: Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert. All are "qualified" with their rifles but "Expert" is the best based on merit and performance. So when this general hedges his language with the word "qualified" what he's really doing is leaving room for the military service to advance those who ARE NOT the best, otherwise he'd just say, "We only pick the very best." The problem with that is when you say you only choose the best, it can be demonstrably proven true or false. Saying the Air Force only chooses "qualified" officers is a cowards way of hiding the fact that the military is using metrics other than winning wars. I suspect this guy is comfortable with such selection methods because he's the beneficiary of them.
Not to mention the fact that the military has a staffing problem and they want to make it more difficult for people to join? Seriously?
yeah, with staffing problems already, the pool of candidates is shrinking - and they are talking about too many white guys? They should all quit and let them use the 'flavor of the month' to run things.
just because the white guy running the country is an idiot ,a liar and a sell out.... doesn't mean the rest should pay....
It doesn't matter if so many white black or pink maybe because it just happened that how many of them are wanted to join or qualified to for the job
As a Black man I am absolutely ashamed of this man’s answer here. I respect him for his service, but he’s dead wrong about this. He’s pandering to some agenda put on him by his superiors.

Why doesn’t the NFL or NBA recruit via diversity because they want the best players in order to win , same should apply to the military, isn’t winning a war as important as winning games?
Not now. Now its more important to be gender conscience and insure the use of proper pronouns.
How about the best and the brightest, regardless of race, especially in the armed forces? Quotas breed mediocrity. Do they worry about this in congress?
doesn't appear so. this is all revenge behavior ... pure and simple in its ability to smoke the rest of us out... people with qualifications are being passed over for the one who couldn't pass the test, or who is the color of the day... That is how society breaks down.

I joined the usaf in the 70s when enlisted promotions were based on job/military knowledge test scores and performance evaluations until E8-E9 that also had boards but we always heard rumors that racial balancing promotions took place. I retired years ago and always wondered if it was really happening.
thanks to democrats those that lack any sort of ability to accomplish are to lead and cause innocents to suffer due to democrat stupidity, eff the democrat filth harming innocents
You and I both know (I was in the AF from 1977-1986) that race was a factor in promotions where promotion boards determined who were promoted. Certainly, it's much more out in the open today.
Different time. Different culture. You cannot state that no one was held back because they were Black. You can say that now. I joined the military in 80s. I know for a fact that people were held back because they were Black.
Diversity has no place in our nation's military readiness! And it's ludicrous to think that it should be divided by a percentage of black & white or other, and stop giving trophies to everyone whether they win or lose the game because war is not a game, it's life-and-death.

I am often asked by a parent or individual should they join the military. Being a retired officer, I like to think I have a slight insight.
It is more and more difficult to say "sure, join up, it will do you good", because I no longer think it will do anyone good. After I retired I worked for a large military contractor. I trained thousands of military at all ranks. There are some outstanding soldiers out there I would go shoulder to shoulder with in a foxhole. And, there is some real crap. More crap than when I was in. I have no clue why they joined. Could have been because that was how they avoided prosecution by the judge.
When things get tough for recruitment the answer is always the same.....drop the requirements. When retention is difficult the answer is always the same.....drop the requirements.
One group has to do only 1 pushup. Another group has to do 30 pushups.
I feel for recruiters today. It must be the most unsatisfactory job in existence. I knew one who said to me he was getting out and joining his dad in cleaning septic tanks because there was less sh*t in that job.
There will always be a core of the youth who believe in their country, in freedom and in preserving the "American way of life", but what worries me is, will they be willing to fire upon the US citizen that has had enough of the most corrupt government in the world? I hope not.
"This is a rediculous conversation". I was thinking that before the guy even said it. What the hell is going on in your country?
