#1  "One thing is for sure: We will find ourselves around the globe. And around the globe you have different cultural backgrounds everywhere.

Rachel Dolezal saw this one coming.

The NBA and NASCAR are having similar problems, but no one says much about it. I recommend more Jade Helm type exercises. At least our SOF people will look like the indigenous folks and fit it. Ordering cheese grits and 'streak o'lean' whilst dining out also helps.

#3 So if we can't find a motivate young woman who can pass the first phase of Ranger School, much less GRADUATE, we think we can find women who can graduate from UDT and SEAL training...excuse me while I shake my head till my eyes rattle.

It is not about diversity it is about being able to perform the mission.

If you read the multitude of things McRaven has said about his SEALS, I think you can say that he doesn't care what race, color, sex, religion, or sexual orientation his SEALs are, all he wants is a bunch of very highly trained and motivated people who can PERFORM THE MISSION.

Personally, let them shove all of the LGBT, blacks, Asians, women, and the like in the door at NAB Coronado, the end result is probably going to be the same...highly motivated young white males with a strong sense of team with the mental toughness and stamina to perform under extreme duress.

The social engineers don't see the process. All they see is the end result. They haven't looked at how many black, Hispanic, Asian men and women have started...they just seem to think UDT school has to be prejudiced to not let a woman graduate when she can't perform all of the essential tasks.

#5 Well, OBVIOUSLY, if the criteria are too hard for a woman/gay/minority to pass, the criteria must be lowered, until women/gays/minorities can pass.
