I disagree. Nothing has done more damage to the military than Affirmative Action. GD Dims see the military as the perfect place to fit their square pegs in round holes because the military can't refuse them,and they hate the military anyhow for helping to defeat communism. If you have an IQ of 70 now and are a cross-dressing bi-sexual that likes to have sex with corpses,are not white,and hate America,and are barely literate,you can now join the military and automatically be promoted up the chain of command each time you have served the minimum time in grade of your current rank. If you are really ambitious,you can go to one of the service academies if you have a left-wing congresscritter pushing you,and end up being an officer the military can't dismiss with cause.
If you are cadre in a training command,you can NOT flunk a minority student. IF you do,they will send him/her/multiple choice through a special training program staffed entirely by minorities that look and sound like him,and that unqualified student WILL pass the course . They will pass because that is the only reason those special classes exist. NO white trainees ever go to their classes.
And this was even happening in Special Forces training back when I was working as a civilian with Special Forces Training Group. I caught a black Captain that was a West Point graduate sleeping inside his sleeping bag while on radio watch at a LP going back into the base camp late one night,and stole his classified radio from him (he had the handset going into his bag,so I just unscrewed it and left the cord hanging), and his SAW (5.56mm machine gun),and took them into the camp and hid them in my tent. He woke up a few hours later in a full-tint panic when he discovered he had lost a classified radio and a machine gun,and when he finally came into the camp to report it,I had already notified the Training Group authorities at McCall of what had happened. Too late for him to cover it up by contacting his "rabbis". He was pulled off that team the same day and sent back to Bragg,but I found out later they ran him through the special "black class" down near the SC border,and he graduated and went to a team just like nothing had happened.
I can't say I was fired because of this,but they never asked me to come back again,and I had been doing it for 3 or 4 years by that time.
People are going to die because of this crap. Good people.
BTW,do NOT misunderstand me. There ARE black soldiers in Special Forces as smart,brave,and qualified as anyone who ever wore a beret. In fact,the recon team leader on the first few times I went into Laos or Cambodia with was led by a black SFC that I credit with teaching me what I needed to learn to accomplish missions while staying alive. I literally owe him my life,and anyone who tried to insult or threaten him if I were anywhere around would have quickly learned the error of their ways. This is one of the things that makes me the maddest. Because of AA,the hardworking qualified blacks in SF are lumped in with the losers by people that don't know them personally. That really pisses me off.
