Independent report for Congress recommends military promote inexperienced to be senior officers
 Drawn from an article by the news source that shall not be named.77% of senior officers on active-duty are white, while only 8% are black, 5% are hispanic, and 16% are women. Give it time, oh impatient ones who pretend to be relevant. Senior means they've been at it a while. Far longer than most combat troops have been alive. I don't expect senior officers to have the same makeup as today's kids because they are 30-40 years older. In another 30-40 years, you idiots are going to be complaining that the makeup looks a lot like today's raw recruits. The only way to "cure" this is to reach down and promote some folks who don't have the necessary experience over those who can get the job done because they have actually been there and done that. I prefer to wait given that our soldiers' lives depend on experience, not PC. These kinds of studies may be asinine, but at least they are idiotic. Yet another place we could have saved a few million bucks by applying a simple relevancy test. Posted by: gorb 2011-03-08 |
